i was waiting for this response to the response. ( confusing i know ) but the completionist claimed innocence the same way sam bankman fried did. without going in to crypto crime, basically he said it was an accident, and that those who question accidents are bad people, and that he is still a charity genius. problem is tho.....sam lost his case. you can say you didnt know something for 10 years, but if you steal for 10 years and say oops, and then return the stolen goods....that still makes you a criminal.

That one commenter highlighted in the video saying "Jirard pulling up with full receipts, legal documentation ... etc", really goes to show the problem with so many people on the internet. Dude just full on assumed all of the documents Jirard linked were relevant to the situation and covered his ass, without actually looking at or at the very least properly interpreting any of them. Way too many people are prone to just hearing something and being like "yep, that fits my worldview so, it checks out" without ever validating any of it. Many of Jirard's fans just wanted him to not be guilty of charity fraud, and so when he did literally nothing more than say "I'm not guilty", to them it confirmed their bias, and they were all like "see??". And unfortunately this is an all too common phenomenon.

[@ObservationofLimits]

Very accurate observation. That's been all to much a serious problem in today's society. And the media train people to be like that. Which then makes it impossible to have a fact-finding discussion

[@WelcomeBackMeHere]

I agree, but to some extent you could say the same about Karl's video. Most of us aren't gonna follow up on the evidence one way or the other beyond what we're served by these youtubers. That's why these things should be handled in court, where lawyers and judges can actually spend time going over all the evidence, arguing back and forth in an environment that is set up for that, and come to the truth. To be clear I absolutely believe Karl in this situation, he makes good points and completionist's video had many red flags and signs of manipulative behaviour, but at the end of the day, getting spoonfed information by either side isn't gonna lead to a satisfying conclusion in situations like these

To be fair, donating the organs of peopel suffering from illnesses and diseases is a real practice. And you don't get paid for it, at least I don't think so. The reason it's not SUPER common is that people don't like that their loved ones aren't as whole as possible when they bury them. Same reason we don't like our loved ones to not be buried at all. Its not really an indication of someones moral character either way though. At least in this scenario. Assuming his mother didn't want her body donated, which most people dont, him donating them is about as morally ambiguous as you can get.

I feel very vindicated because I've always gotten red flags from Jirard. Earlier this year for example on the Question Box podcast I remember him admitting that he buys strangers/acquaintances expensive gifts as a way to earn their friendship. Sketchy.

[@mariestarlight]

One thing the Certified Gaming Accountant points out that you guys miss is that the "revenue" part of the Tax form is supposed to be the TOTAL taken in, not the net. I.e. it's supposed to be the total moneys recieved, and later down in the tax form is supposed to outline expenses. So if this was done correctly, the "revenue" part of the form should be much higher, and any "expenses" should be shown further down on the form, not as part of the total revenue number. People seem to think the "revenue" part at the top of the tax form is Jirard's profit less expenses, but it's supposed to be the total taken in *before* calculating expenses. And then expenses are supposed to be listed later and subtracted from the total revenue to get the final "profits" or collected amount. Therefore the Golf money, the Indieland money, and ALL the bits, tshirt sales, everything should be listed in "revenue" before listing expenses later in the form. That's why Jirard's explanation that expenses are why the revenue number is lower makes no sense. plz upvote so Karl sees this.

Also that tax form has them getting 0.00 interest on hundreds of thousands... How did they specially in last year find that bad account to keep money in.

I feel like that part was added specifically to combat that part of the conflict, doesn't only make them look bad, but also weird, Jirard stating that this was his mothers spinal cord+brain makes more sense, although it's not the vocal point of the issue, so it was also something to distract the viewer of what is really happening right now, which both Mutah and Karl are refusing let happen, so Jirard is just screwed, since a lot of people who watch Jirard, also watches either Karl or Mutah, the chances of him being able to shield his viewers from this is very small, hell even smaller twitch streamers are picking it up and discussing it while doing their thing.

When his fans and contemporaries refused to grant him that second chance and insist that he turn himself in to the authorities, Cosmodore then pulled a 180 - back-pedaling on his confession and angrily lashing out at everyone who wanted him to take responsibility for his crimes. Jirard is pretty much doing the same thing here - assuming that admitting to what he did is enough to clear him of his wrongdoing and attempting to emotionally manipulate people into leaving him alone because “c’mon guys, I’m *reeeeeally* sawwy for my little hiccup, I don’t deserve to face any serious consequences, pweeeez fogive meeee~ 🥺”.

Did he actually do that? You think he would have put something about that in the description since it's a sponsored video it would be an appropriate place to send the proceeds but I can't see any mention of that. KZbinrs typically make $20-$30 per 1000 views and since this video has ~1.5 million views that's a low estimate ~$30'000 not to mention there are other videos made on this. If these accusations turn out to be incorrect, that is a lot of money to make off of false accusations not to mention the damage to reputation and wasting of time and money having to defend against the accusations. Even if they are correct this should be taken to the authorities not complained about publicly. After a verdict is reached in or outside of the court then people are free to give commentary on the situation provided they were not specifically barred from doing so as part of a court order and provided that what they are saying is either pure facts or an opinion that could not possible be misinterpreted as fact.

Glad that wasn’t just me. I’m beginning to notice that he almost always talks like a PR statement. I suppose that wouldn’t be such a bad thing, if he wasn’t blatantly guilty.

[@sush4nz1...74]

Why do i see you on every video lol

[@italianspiderman5012]

Yeah he seems extremely nervous, and I don’t buy the “what do you do if everyone is throwing accusations at you!?” Innocent people just don’t behave like that when accused of wrongdoing, being angry or annoyed yes sure, but he was stumbling over his own words, panicked almost, already playing victim. As someone who was accused of stealing once, from old peoples house, it really, really sucks, but guess what, turned out they simply put the money somewhere and forgot about it, because they were old lmao, so if he has all the receipts, done nothing wrong and can prove it he shouldn’t be a nerve wreck like he was.

[@lelxrv]

It's actually smart tactic, because they let him say on himself. This saga will be going for some time and anything the crime family will say will be put against other evidence. He already sounds insanely shady with multiple contradictions and attacks, and the best is probably yet to come.

[@kaiengrail]

Ya know its interesting watching his "apology" with no sound because if you look at his facial expressions they don't say regret or anything of that nature. All i saw was contempt and anger,especially when you showed it in black and white, it was like watching a wounded animal lashing out.

[@iRemainNameless]

This exactly. Always do this with life, remove the sound and you see the intent and motivation behind the action clearer than you do with the act.

[@GigiBranconi]

I'd less say wounded. More rabid

[@chromegnats]

I also noticed how angry he looked throughout…

[@andromidius]

@@chromegnats Honestly it can be hard to tell - he always looks annoyed these days. Even in his reviews he never sounded happy - and in Super Beard Bros videos he always sounds irritated and put out (he's been the worst member in quite a while too - I'm upset its messed with Brett and Alex's videos, particularly Brett since at least Alex does Chilluminati as well).

He also gained a lot of money by asking for donations for a lawsuit that was not even real. No indication where that money went and how it was used.

[@AlvinKazu]

Yeah.... Billy is an Expert Con-Artist who has been doing this for DECADES. Jirad just hoped he could get away with this without anyone noticing, and it all falls apart once he was caught... He had no plan.... Bitchell must have been prepared for a long time.

[@kenshiman90]

exactly, that call is so sad and damning. surprised its not in the comments more.

[@TheGreatBea]

I'd bet money he let his dad and brother tell him what to say in that apology video too, center-head-of-the-hydra style.

crazy how good he was at being con artist for over a decade is pretty horrifying.

[@ahadquadri5471]

​@lastremain7867 that and how quickly he switches up from begging to karl and muta from the call to threatening to sue.

[@DaBeezNeez]

It’s really funny to me the contrast between Muta and Karl’s videos. Muta does all the accounting and math work while mostly asking questions and commenting how it doesn’t add up. Karl just goes straight for the throat and says “You’re a criminal and if you don’t like it you can see me in court.” Absolute power move.

[@TheUnapologeticGeek]

I know. Muta's out there giving as much benefit of the doubt as possible while still making his case, while Karl is just, "I friggin' dare you to sue me, you embezzling fraudster."

[@ScrobeOfficial]

After the completionist getting pissed at the end of the video I was hoping Karl would come back swining. Called him a little bitch. Great stuff.

[@frodawe]

Karl’s an old hand at calling people out at this point. He’s not afraid of the law when’s he’s right haha

Claiming to understand why people are confused & suspicious & pretending to take responsibility for causing it, only to then threaten to sue people for accusing him is such a villain ball moment.
