How This Streamer Stole $300,000 From His Fans & Friends

[@chrismc3744]

My Dad gave me sage advice: Whenever you lend someone money, never expect to get it back. Just give as much as you feel comfortable losing. If you get it back, then great. But, don't expect it.

[@twinkletoes8094]

My family taught me this, by constantly stealing my money and never paying it back despite me being in high school at the time. Can't trust family with money, can't trust anyone with money. Hard pass. Kinda sucks because there's some genuine people out there who would pay you back, but it's not worth the risk in my opinion.

Then make you feel bad for not giving them more. There are some real psychopaths out there. This Slikerr guy is one of them. hes not good at it, but he definitely is one. If he was a slightly better gambler than he is a psychopath, he might not have been caught.

[@AraClaire]

Addiction of any type comes at a high victim toll...the addict and everyone else the addict comes in contact with. My step-brother, who died of Fentanyl overdose a few years ago, was an addict from the time he was a teen. I loved him dearly, but there was no way I could ever trust him enough to be involved in my life. He would steal you blind for "just one more fix"...hell, he caused his elderly mother to be homeless because he drained her entire pension account and steal her social security money as soon as it hit the account. Addiction of any kind is a disease of the mind and is associated with impaired impulse control, poor executive functioning, compulsory behaviour patterns, anxiety, and depression. They need professional mental health intervention, but it still takes the addict actually wanting to change for them to have any long term success in kicking their addictive habits. I feel bad for the the guy (Slickers), but he certainly can never be trusted with anyone else's money ever again...and I highly doubt anyone will see a dime of the money they gave him returned. He is certainly embarrassed about what he has done, but I'm not convinced he is very heartfelt about his desire to change.

It doesn't strike me as insincere. It's very consistent with gambling addiction. Addicts lie. The weight of the guilt is usually so crushing, so they dissociate most of the time, which can make it seem like they were enjoying themselves the entire time while scamming their friends for money. Plus there are multiple factors that feed the viscous circles, that people generally are not aware of. The trajectory here is also very consistent with gambling addiction. I've read a few comments that he apparently acts shitty irl, so maybe he is a shitty person in addition to being a gambling addict. If he were only out to scam his viewers and friends for money, there'd be so many better ways, that wouldn't be so obviously frivolous. It doesn't change anything about the damage he caused. But your chances of getting paid back are higher if you allow the person to rehabilitate themselves. Doesn't mean the victims can't be angry and vent their frustrations. But to refuse to accept that he's a gambling addict won't bring you back your money quickly.

[@je25ff]

How disconnected from reality does a person have to be to spend their money on tipping, donating, lending, 'crowd funding' a bunch of online bullshit. It's pathetic.

[@dylanherron3963]

I did NOT expect to be watching an entire 2:22:30 long vod, but holy fuck, that was a quick few hours. Wild to think this is JUST happening

[@gabrielcapistran7460]

He is doing some Runescape scams IRL XD

[@CannibalShadow]

This video had me dying, rarely would I sit and watch a video over 2 hours long but this was worth every second 😂😂😭 get a new bank my dude 💀

[@pikabobchupants]

Money will really completely destroy people. What a sad sight for someone who was such a promising streamer.

[@Weah702]

Gambling* , not money.

[@Romne]

Can't wait to see Slicker working the drive thru at McDonalds. I will order 30 DOUBLE BACON burgers

[@phrike7588]

Wow. That was the absolute worst "apology" i've ever seen. 1% "I'm sorry." - 99% "I feel sorry for myself."

[@grey7240]

Sliker isn’t sorry for any of this, he’s sorry because he got exposed 😂

[@Project_tunes]

Cant believe he still averages 600 viewers on kick jesus christ..

[@Kazuuuuyaa]

The amount of sarcasm this video contains is GOLD

[@FIFAFootballer14]

I understand there are a lot of people who are extremely empathetic and that despite the risks they rather be safe than sorry, losing the money as opposed to missing out on the opportunity to actually help someone in need but it's an expensive lesson people like that need to learn. I dont think they are necessarily stupid but just a bit naive.

[@Jeffrey_Tyler]

I clicked thinking this was going to be one of those KiraTV or PatrickCC or Kavos type videos but nah this was like modern day journalistic work and then witch hunt all developing in the moment. That was a WILD ride

[@Kujamon]

He's sorry that he got caught. Otherwise he would have shown symptoms of being sorry 2 years ago when it started if he's all tearing up now

[@andrzej6219]

isn't it how it works with every addict? They won't just stop their addiction and feel bad for anyone as long as they get what they want (drugs, alcohol, money for gambling etc)

[@j.w.213]

everyone involved, viewer or streamer, deserves what's happening. drama is your guys oxygen!

[@MatanZlatan]

how so? when did he do anything remotely shitty as the scammer did? don't tell me you think him hurting someones feeling is same as guy that literally scams for a living@@ChristmasLore

[@FitzAF]

Damn, knew there was something off about him, even on his rise to fame. Edit: You guys ever get that off-putting vibe from a stranger but just can't exactly say what it is?

[@aClownBaby-]

Seriously? I never suspected anything lol

[@Omar-yp2qh]

no you didn’t

[@FitzAF]

@@aClownBaby- Yeah. Like the way he'd even troll. It sometimes felt like there was legit ill intent. Hard to fully explain, but it's how he behaved.

[@FitzAF]

@@Omar-yp2qh yes I did.

[@OATHOFVIRTUE]

just say it's because he's Arab

[@Scrappygymrat]

Yeah I’ve borrowed money when I was homeless but it was for food and paid back friends . Unfortunately most people don’t pay back and I only asked for $50 not thousands

[@bamba2046]

Asmon you are gold bro! Glad that I found your channel, I believe I found it through Tim the tat man mentioning you but holy hell, so glad I did. Watching you daily now for like 3 weeks straight wooo

[@kaolodrerrietje]

The craziest part about all this is the fact that he was so close to winning, 99% of gamblers stop right before hitting the jackpot.

[@profo4544]

These kids are lending other random people on the internet more money than 99% of normal people would lend to there own immediate family. And this dude who lent him the 27 thousand, most kids that age are living paycheck to paycheck and dont have anywhere near 30 grand just sitting in the bank. If he did work up and save all that money up, and he was willing to just lend it away to someone you never interacted with before irl, idk man, you could of done so many other things with that and now will never have the chance to, that just sucks. But you kind of deserve it. "A fool and his money are soon parted" i think the phrase is. I do feel bad for the kid tho.

[@frostthrone334]

Granted, lukeafk is huge on KZbin, has 3 million subs

[@WBeraa]

bro he literally could of cleaned this mess up (mostly) if he used Train's money to pay ppl back

[@TheRoadsProductions]

bro the crazy part for me is when he was talking about train. if he told train about his situation, and train got mad and scolded him, you know for a fact that train would have only given him that 100k as a bailout specifically to pay back the money he owed and he STILL went and gambled that away too. its insane

[@luster5497]

Note to self, Never give money to someone named “Slicker”

[@BHolyCow]

I guessed it was some form of addiction. That with a combination of other mental health issues like depression makes you do this kinda shit. Stealing from others to fuel your addiction until you get caught because unless you get help, it's really the only thing that's going to stop you, a big reality check. I've being in a similar situation and Asmon kinda touched on it as well, best thing to happen to him.

[@JBails-gc9vy]

When I was in active addiction for opiates I would do this same scheme on a much small scale. Copy and text same bullshit story about needing 20 bucks and send it to ever contact I have. Odds are one of those people will bite.

[@cannabass5729]

Ya I hear ya almost 5yr clean for me I would do some scummy shit but not on this scale but I still feel bad

[@nuknukisdead]

Yeah, pretty much every addict goes through something like this once they don't have enough income to pay for their addiction.

[@beezerk4509]

Like I said before, the biggest crime being committed here is how stupid all of these people were for believing his sob story over and over. Tired of people acting like personal responsibility has nothing to do with it. Streamers aren't your friends, not even other streamers. The people that fell for this have weird unhealthy parasocial relationships and need very much to work on breaking that cycle.

[@SwedBaben]

I knew 10 sec into this video that this was about gambling addiction. I struggled for two years and I recognized it straight away. Difference between me and him is that I paid back all my loans and I never lent money from someone who couldn't afford it, but I hope he gets help

[@13ignate43]

He must of watched Tinder Swindler on Netflix and decided to be the Streamer Swindler.

[@millionshadesofdarkness2165]

I think his real addiction is getting over on gullible people. Like he put so much time, effort, and creativity into those lies and stories. Then he gets on miz stream and turns on Victim RP mode

[@kapeecoffee]

Twitch is falling apart after erobb's ban. He was the glue of twitch

[@jokerface3502]

Old comment, but no he really wasn't. Only reason he got clout or any views is cause he's Tyler's brother. Lol...

[@ValentineBrotha]

Anyone who remotely deals with people on a daily basis can tell you what a solid disingenuous performance is. Basically That. If a person feels legit grief... they wouldn't have done that performance. -you need to understand what control it would take to steady your voice to the same db levels during a whole apology, simply impossible. If that Sliker has a heart, he's certainly not putting it into our lives. -It is great to follow people, just make sure you are part of the right mind, a healthy mind. God bless.

[@HateMachinist]

Classical addict-behaviour. Doesn't matter if its alcohol, drugs or gambling. The behaviour is always the same, friends and family are always the ones who foot the bill, and they always believe their own lies. I hope he gets help. Just keep in mind there are others like him out there.

[@rudolfmorvai5824]

"I don't take a lot of pictures of myself" Yeah, only about 24 per second for the the couple hours that you are in front of a camera, since that's how capturing video works. I know, nitpicking, but I just found that funny.
