NEW Information About the MysteryBrand SCAM - Who Runs It?

Recently, many KZbinrs including Jake Paul and RiceGum, have promoted a sketchy gambling site called MysteryBrand (mysterybrand.net.) Today, I expose this site as a scam, explore other associated sites, and delve into the psychology of why these KZbinrs would accept a brand deal like this in the first place.

on top of all that the giftcards were used ones, they were the same codes he gave away in a fortnite stream he did last year.

[@JohnSwanYT]

Yeah I'm aware of that, haha. I already finished editing the video when that information came out unfortunately.

[@OliverObz]

damn haha, really enjoyed it btw!

[@AP0CRYPH0N]

to be honest isn’t anything those “kid friendly haha funny” youtubers make a scam, everyone just grows out of them after a while then you start regretting buying their stuff or anything they’re associated with lol

[@JohnSwanYT]

Yeah, sounds about right

[@assassingod7679]

I want you as my attorney if I need one

[@barrelracer12]

The site no longer exists. Interesting. But the CSGOTrip website does still exist.

[@Jdwzl]

3:50 You know what's the best part? In Poland that text is changed from "Polish version" to "Ukranian version" Please don't hate on Poland

[@davisvoelzke8011]

wow

[@graemecleary9477]

I might be off the mark here, but the screen recording of this xcantfly dude has "visningar" in it; Swedish for "views", so a decent chance he's Swedish, especially with the euro/american accent thing.

[@JohnSwanYT]

Oohhh, I didn't know that! As I said, I wasn't sure. It was a stab in the dark. Thanks for the info! However, the data doesn't lie. MysteryBrand points to his website somehow. There are other websites that list similar affiliate codes but none of them are linked, which implies a deeper connection between xICant Fly and MysteryBrand.

[@graemecleary9477]

@@JohnSwanYT Absolutely! I should probably point out I'm not trying to poke holes, you've looked into this whole train wreck a lot more than I have for sure. Thanks for taking the time to put these together, although not so thank you for the rabbit holes you have me going down 😂

[@JohnSwanYT]

Thanks man! I tried my best to go down any Avenue I could. If you uncover any other information, please do let me know! I would love to hear about it :)

[@Bonkpunktexe]

I'm swedish and when I heard his accent I reacted because it sounds swedish, so he more than likely is from sweden

[@lucyhtml]

This is an awesome video by the way, sick edits as always and a load of juicy research 🐸

[@JohnSwanYT]

Yeah been organising and remaking heaps of my presets so I have a whole load of extra transitions to use. It's tedious but the results pay off 😎👌

[@lucyhtml]

@@JohnSwanYT yeah it looks sick!!!

[@ConManGaming]

um it’s clearly real. I won a $250,000,000 house in LA

[@ConManGaming]

all jokes aside I really like the editing in this video

[@JohnSwanYT]

Same here! Does this mean we move in together? I'm taking the penthouse.

[@lucyhtml]

Nerd City style video ending 😎👌

[@JohnSwanYT]

I actually knew the song from before Nerd City, but I rediscovered it from his videos haha.

[@lucyhtml]

@@JohnSwanYT yeah! It's a good song 💓💜💚

[@marljusweety]

XIcantfly sounds swedish. And one of the things you showed from his videos showed a screenshot from youtube with text in swedish. So I bet he lives in Sweden.

[@MrPeterPan]

My exact thought

[@Bregott07]

I am Swedish and i would more say eastern europe, but not impossible. Maybe eastern european background, who knows.

[@ethanlimberger3886]

Really good videos man. Haven't seen content this well thought out in a while

[@fartingbeaner]

Im posting this on reddit so it gets more views because this deserves it!!!11!!!

[@JohnSwanYT]

Cheers man, any support is much appreciated :)

[@zombieslime]

Why don’t you have more subs?

[@JohnSwanYT]

Who knows man, if you could share this video with your friends it might help me to get more!

[@MrPeterPan]

He has lots now

[@culturemv]

ooo I can appreciate all the effort you put into your videos! Especially visually. It's very visually pleasing and captivating. I think a lot of people either underestimate or are too damn lazy when it comes to visuals. It's so damn easy to drift off into space when there's nothing really happening on screen. Good stuff man!

[@JohnSwanYT]

Awww thanks so much. I try to not leave a static image on screen for more than 5-7 seconds at a time, which is about the attention span before people drift off into oblivion. Thanks for watching :)

[@Si74l0rd]

Giving them your payment details with those T&C's is definitely a bad move!

[@PLUH_the_last_plug]

I'm polish and that's not a polish accent because when u live with your grandma that speaks polish you know some accents

[@spliffmachine1990]

how come, some of the vids got only so many views and then some blow-up? makes no sense your editing style did not change, obviously, there's tons of time and research put in every one of these ... well, I'm glad I found you on twitter. I guess even tho I follow mostly commentary channels you never popped up in my recommended list. Looking forward to seeing your quality content, keep up the good work!!!

it disappoints me that this video only has 8k+ views despite the amount of work and effort put in it.

[@cerealgymnast2613]

I know it is an old video but if you look at x icant fly youtube in the screenshot you have, it says that he is the owner of csgotrip in the banner. just thought that was interesting

Doesn't the concept of working days already mean that public holidays aren't counted? But then, different countries have different public holidays, so that makes things even more convoluted.

265 views... youtube is so criminal nowadays
