Background: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5xf40KrK3I (video CW: gambling, also the second video in the series talks about torture-level stuff.)

The allegations in this video are presented kind of chaotically, and it seemed like an odd mix of trivial and significant problems - while I don't doubt that at least part of it is true, I was kind of uncertain whether *all* of it was accurate.

And while I still feel that way... seeing the response from a current MrBeast staffer (https://x.com/chucky/status/1817832019063148818) led me to conclude that however shaky the original allegations may have been, the defense is far *shakier* than that, and there's probably fire here, not just smoke.
