Detailed notes

## Background Published on YouTube by investigative creator Coffeezilla on December 18, 2024, this video documents the beginning of a multi-part probe into the Counter-Strike skin-gambling underworld. According to the video description, Coffeezilla was offered an insultingly low $20,000 bounty to create an expose on a rival gambling platform, leading him to decline the cash and investigate the entire ecosystem instead.

## TL;DR After operatives linked to skin casino CSGOEmpire attempted to bribe Coffeezilla to take down their rival CSGORoll, Coffeezilla launched an investigation into the vicious personal feud between platform owners Monarch and Killian. The investigation reveals extreme real-world intimidation tactics orchestrated by Monarch, ranging from disrupting the PGL Copenhagen Major stage to blanketing a Norwegian town with 30,000 smear flyers and sending a pitchfork-wielding mob to the home of creator Grim. Both operators now live behind costly private security teams, while Monarch's faux-crusade was exposed as a corporate takeover attempt to poach Grim's promotional contract. Ultimately, Coffeezilla zooms out from the billionaire gang war to spotlight the true epidemic: underage teenagers lured into devastating gambling addictions through influencer marketing.

## Atmosphere & style The presentation blends Coffeezilla's sharp, satirical studio banter with the chilling atmosphere of a true-crime syndicate expose. It moves from comedic incredulity over an insultingly cheap bribe into genuine, paranoid unease as sources freeze on camera and footage reveals mob-style intimidation, pitchfork protests, and armed guards outside suburban homes. This surreal spectacle eventually resolves into somber moral weight as the narrative shifts away from billionaire drama toward the heartbreaking accounts of teenagers trapped in addiction.

## Key takeaways - [00:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=0s) Coffeezilla rejected an insultingly low $20,000 bribe disguised as a bounty, deciding instead to investigate the illicit Counter-Strike skin gambling ecosystem and the bribers themselves. - [00:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=0s) Contrary to public belief that skin gambling disappeared after Valve's 2016 crackdowns, the scene remains a multibillion-dollar unregulated industry driving widespread underage gambling. - [01:37](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=97s) The high-profile stage disruption at the PGL Copenhagen Major, which saw the championship trophy smashed, was secretly orchestrated and funded by casino operator CSGOEmpire against CSGORoll. - [03:41](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=221s) CSGOEmpire owner 'Monarch' brazenly used public livestreams to solicit and pay operatives to disrupt live esports events and handcuff themselves to tournament equipment. - [06:42](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=402s) The feud between CSGOEmpire and CSGORoll is rooted in a decade-long bitter personal vendetta between former business partners Monarch and Killian rather than consumer advocacy. - [06:42](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=402s) Industry insiders adhere to a strict code of silence, refusing to speak publicly on record due to intense fear of violent retaliation and doxxing campaigns by Monarch. - [09:59](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=599s) Longtime gambling streamer Grim became the central public target of Monarch's retaliation after openly defying online threats and telling Monarch to hit him with 'full thrust.' - [11:35](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=695s) Monarch mobilized his online followers to blanked Grim's entire 30,000-resident Norwegian municipality with 30,000 attack flyers detailing Grim's home, cars, and alleged $6 million in promotion earnings. - [13:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=820s) The campaign escalated into mob-style physical intimidation when Monarch dispatched an 18-person delegation equipped with pitchforks, megaphones, and tents directly to Grim's front door. - [17:11](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=1031s) Escalating hostility forced both Grim and Monarch behind round-the-clock private security details funded by casino revenues due to mutual paranoia over contracted physical violence. - [20:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=1240s) When confronted over the $20,000 bounty offered to Coffeezilla, the intermediary admitted the skin gambling industry's hyper-monetized culture had warped his perspective regarding journalistic ethics. - [20:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=1240s) Leaked communications revealed Monarch's crusade was an aggressive corporate shakedown, offering to halt all harassment immediately if Grim signed a promotional deal with CSGOEmpire. - [22:58](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=1378s) Underage players as young as 13 or 14 are routinely lured into skin gambling through trusted content creators who normalize case openings as harmless video game entertainment. - [22:58](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=1378s) Because taking down individual casino operators leaves the underlying machine intact, Coffeezilla pivoted the investigation's focus toward holding the promotional influencers accountable.

## Detailed walkthrough ### [00:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=0s) The Lowball Bribe and the Decision to Expose Everyone

Coffeezilla opens by revealing that he was bribed twice to make an investigative video targeting the business rivals of an online casino. Showing an on-screen screenshot describing the offer as both a “bounty” and a “sponsorship,” he explains that while influencers regularly take multimillion-dollar payouts to sell out to gambling platforms, he was approached with an insultingly low sum: just $20,000. Joking about his lavish set, Coffeezilla remarks that this amount wouldn't even cover the electricity bill of his $10 million virtual studio. More importantly, his show is independently financed through $5-a-month contributions on Patreon.

Rather than simply ignoring the offer—which might leave new viewers confused—Coffeezilla decided to flip the script. He resolved not just to investigate the rival site they wanted him to take down, but to investigate the entire ecosystem, starting directly with the people who attempted to buy his coverage. This kicks off a multi-part investigation into the massive, lucrative world of Counter-Strike skin gambling. Despite widespread public belief that the scene vanished following Valve's regulatory crackdowns in 2016, skin gambling has remained a multibillion-dollar industry fueling an underage gambling epidemic. Few within the scene dare to speak out because of astronomical financial gains or fear of violent retaliation.

[01:37](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=97s) Chaos at the PGL Copenhagen Major

Inside the virtual studio, Coffeezilla talks with his virtual robot sidekick, who is distracted playing Counter-Strike and complaining about the game's rampant bot problem. Coffeezilla explains the sheer difficulty of peeling back the layers of this story: after interviewing around 40 different people in the space, every single person claimed to be the victim while pointing fingers at someone else.

The root of the current chaos traces back to the PGL Major in Copenhagen, one of the biggest esports tournaments in Counter-Strike history, drawing 1.8 million concurrent viewers and boasting a prize pool exceeding $1 million at the Royal Arena. During the matches, an organized group rushed the stage, sending the arena into a panic, smashing the championship trophy on the floor, and attempting to handcuff themselves to equipment and outside structures. The disruption appeared to be an extreme protest against CSGORoll, an online skin casino sponsoring the competing esports organization G2 Esports. However, the raid was not executed by concerned anti-gambling advocates; it was financed and orchestrated directly by a competitor casino called CSGOEmpire.

- PGL Major Copenhagen viewership: 1.8 million concurrent spectators. - Tournament prize pool: In excess of $1,000,000. - Staged raid targets: G2 Esports and their primary sponsor, CSGORoll. - Funding origin: CSGOEmpire, an opposing skin-gambling operation.

[03:41](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=221s) Meet Monarch: The Self-Proclaimed Hero

The mastermind behind the stage invasion is the owner of CSGOEmpire, an individual operating online under the alias "Monarch." Far from hiding his involvement, Monarch brazenly livestreamed his efforts to organize and fund the disruption, directly soliciting henchmen to stage the protest. In his own recorded words from the stream:

> “If somebody's going to Germany or if you have any friends in Germany I can pay you a good amount of money just come to my DMs and I can pay you a good amount of money if you run on the stage in the middle of the game and glue yourself on the stage or even better if you if you put like handcuffs if you can handcuff yourself on one of the computers or one of the tables I will pay you decent money they need to go in even if there's a security guard even if they're going to be taken away if somebody goes home walking they will be fired and I'm I'm so dedicated to this like if I'm in a war I'm going to be fighting to the end.”

Following the tournament stunt, an operative from Monarch's camp contacted Coffeezilla offering a bounty to cover the controversy, paralleling an earlier email offering him $20,000 to attack the rival casino network. Coffeezilla rejected the money but agreed to accept their information, simultaneously reaching out to CSGORoll's owner, Killian, for comment. Killian characterized Monarch's actions as an obsessive, one-sided harassment campaign. Monarch, conversely, maintained a public "Wall of Shame" targeting influencers who work with CSGORoll, promising:

> “They have made millions and millions of Euros from illegal casinos and what I am going to do is I'm going to be delivering Justice to these mother[bleep] tax investigations are coming people are going to be going to jail YouTube channels Twitch channels Kick channels Twitters they're going to be banned and I will deliver Justice to these mother[bleep].”

When Coffeezilla pushed Monarch on his motives, Monarch rejected the idea that he was a rogue operator, insisting: “I identify myself as some sort of a hero in this in this story.”

[06:42](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=402s) A Bitter Blood Feud and the Code of Silence

The conflict between CSGOEmpire and CSGORoll is not a righteous crusade over community standards; it is a long-standing personal vendetta. Monarch and Killian are former business partners whose relationship turned toxic a decade ago. Monarch claims Killian stole his original company, tried to get his subsequent businesses dismantled, and actively sought to destroy his current empire—the platform that funded Monarch's personal fortunes and multiple castles. Monarch claims:

> “Killian has been trying to do everything to take me down get me arrested get me killed, Killian is a psychopath and these are Killian's minions and I'm going to be taking down every single one of these.”

Treating his crusade as an endless campaign of vengeance, Monarch openly displays weapons on stream while dismissing them as mere games, telling his targets that prison and severe consequences await them: “The beautiful thing about revenge is that there is no deadlines you know you can do it whenever you know life is long and you can do it whenever.”

The fear surrounding Monarch in the skin-gambling sphere is palpable. As Coffeezilla reached out to industry insiders, source after source froze the moment Monarch's name came up. In one recorded interview, an insider who was chatting comfortably shuts down entirely when Monarch is mentioned, looking anxious, pivoting awkwardly to talk about the pleasant weather outside, and ultimately refusing to say another word on camera. The source admits that while everyone speaks freely behind closed doors, no one dares go on record because of the ruthless intimidation directed at anyone who crosses him.

[09:59](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=599s) Grim Goes On the Record

Only one prominent figure targeted on Monarch's "Wall of Shame" agreed to speak publicly on camera: a veteran Counter-Strike gambling creator named Grim, who has been in the scene for nearly a decade and creating content for roughly eight years.

Grim explains that his conflict with Monarch began roughly a year earlier, around May, primarily unfolding over public and private interactions on Twitter (now X). Monarch sent Grim direct messages ordering him to cut ties with CSGORoll immediately under threat of retaliation. Instead of complying, Grim posted a screenshot of the threats publicly, daring Monarch to bring everything he had—a move Grim now reflects on as a massive mistake:

> “I then responded by posting a tweet myself with a screenshot of what he said calling him out for it and telling him to come at me with everything he's got which you know in retrospect massive mistake.”

In his public defiance, Grim had told Monarch to hit him with “full thrust.” That specific phrasing became an enduring obsession for Monarch, who repeated the term back to Grim during every subsequent attack, continually asking if his retaliation was finally "full thrust enough."

[11:35](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=695s) The Flyer Campaign: Targeting Grim Across Norway

The covert war between rival skin-gambling platforms escalated sharply into the real world when YouTuber and CSGORoll promoter Grim began noticing ominous chatter within Discord servers associated with CSGOEmpire’s founder, Monarch. Grim explains that inside what Monarch himself calls his "Jolfa cult," members were actively discussing spreading smear flyers around Grim's hometown in Norway. Though the initial whispers surfaced around May and seemed to fizzle out, the plan went into full effect by September. Grim awoke to a barrage of missed calls from family and friends, only to discover his entire city had been blanketed in attack literature.

Monarch orchestrated the drop of roughly 30,000 flyers across a municipality of only 30,000 residents, ensuring that practically every citizen saw them. The leaflets were placed everywhere: plastered across high schools, scattered inside shopping malls, shoved under car windshield wipers, and dropped into personal home mailboxes. They prominently featured a collage of Grim’s face, his house, and his luxury cars, accusing him of scamming his local neighbors through CSGORoll.

When Coffeezilla pressed Monarch about orchestrating what amounted to a coordinated, real-world targeted harassment operation, Monarch did not deny a single detail. Instead, he treated the act as fully justified retribution against an unethical promoter. Monarch argued that Grim is one of CSGORoll owner Killian’s foremost advertisers, having earned upwards of six million dollars by streaming CSGORoll gambling sessions daily to young audiences while flexing a Norwegian mansion and Lamborghinis. Monarch matter-of-factly defended the mass mailer: “We basically we gave these flyers to like the full town, the full town got these flyers that has Grim's face on it and explains like how he's made his money by scamming people.”

- Around 30,000 flyers were distributed across a town of roughly 30,000 people. - The flyers targeted public hubs, high schools, malls, mailboxes, and parked cars. - Monarch claimed Grim made at least $6 million blatantly promoting CSGORoll on stream for years.

[13:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=820s) Mob Tactics and the Pitchfork Protest

The flyer drop was only the prologue. Around a month later, Monarch escalated from paper to boots on the ground, sending an entourage of roughly 15 to 18 people to stage a confrontation outside Grim's residence in Norway. Grim recounted the chilling intimidation of having an organized crowd show up directly on his doorstep, noting that Norwegian laws offer little practical recourse against such public spectacle. Coffeezilla compared the brazen behavior directly to mafia pressure tactics.

Far from being ashamed, Monarch framed the stunt as a lighthearted community protest, boasting that he sent his "cute little cult" alongside an internet character known as "Sticky Hand," a person who claims to have lost his house gambling on CSGORoll. Dressed up with sticky hands, the protesters pitched tents outside Grim's property, marched through the quiet suburban neighborhood holding pitchforks and microphones, shouted threats through megaphones, and walked straight up to knock on Grim's front door to demand an accounting. In promotional footage, Sticky Hand was heard yelling: “Grim, I'm coming for you! I'm coming for you!”

subgraph Countermeasures["Fallout & Retaliation"] E --> F["Grim Hires 24/7 Guards (Funded by CSGORoll)"] E --> G["Monarch Fears Assassination & Hires Security"] end ```

Coffeezilla pushed back hard, noting that even if Grim was actively scamming his viewers, handling the matter through vigilante mobs and Minecraft-coded break-in threats crossed every professional and ethical line:

> “I get that you believe he scammed people, and let's say he did scam people, that should be left to law enforcement, not to like, you know, y'all are basically like video vigilantes, you know, going to his house.” — Coffeezilla

Monarch insisted that waiting for the traditional legal system was a fool's errand. While he claimed to have consulted lawyers regarding legal actions, he maintained that skin casino operators can evade justice or drag out civil proceedings for years until an exit scam has already been completed, leaving direct public pressure as his weapon of choice.

---

[17:11](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=1031s) Mutual Paranoia and 24/7 Private Security

The hostility quickly morphed into mutual terror, with both sides barricading themselves behind costly private protection. When Coffeezilla asked Grim what precautions he had taken after local police failed to intervene, Grim revealed that he now lives under constant 24/7 armed guard stationed directly outside his house. When pressed on the exorbitant expense, Grim admitted that he was not paying for it himself; CSGORoll's owner, Killian, was footing the bill to protect his lead promotional asset from their business competitor.

The irony peaked when Monarch revealed that he too was hiding behind heavy private security, petrified that Killian would have him murdered in retaliation. Monarch claimed that Killian was pure evil and completely devoid of morals, calculating that taking a hit out on Monarch would simply be treated as an economically sound decision. Monarch explained his terror plainly: “Knowing him as a person, he's pure evil, has no morals, it would be literally plus EV to get me killed.”

Coffeezilla marveled at the surreal standoff: two multi-millionaire operators within the exact same unregulated, morally bankrupt industry running armed details against each other out of mortal fear. The spillover began reaching beyond primary influencers; other YouTubers and even an independent esports journalist reporting on the space found themselves targeted with physical intimidation, flyer distribution, and doxxing threats. Monarch brushed off these broader actions as potential marketing stunts, half-joking that legal defamation suits against his detractors would be “fun to do just for the lore, just for the memes.”

---

[20:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=1240s) Confronting the Bounty and the Real Motive

Coffeezilla decided to confront Monarch directly about his tactics, making it clear that while his investigation would remain neutral and strictly fact-based, he would not tolerate intimidation or people showing up on his own doorstep. Monarch gave his word that he had no intention of dispatching "Sticky Hands" to Coffeezilla's home. Taking the conversation further, Coffeezilla brought up the financial inducement that kickstarted the entire inquiry, disclosing to Monarch that his affiliate, Warren, had attempted to offer Coffeezilla a cash bounty to investigate CSGORoll:

> “Y'all shouldn't tell journalists that, that's not good, y'all shouldn't pay people to do stories... because I obviously can't accept that, that would completely compromise everything I stand for, to be biased towards your side if I was to accept that.” — Coffeezilla

Monarch feigned ignorance about the payout offer, praising Coffeezilla's journalistic integrity. Coffeezilla subsequently pressed the intermediary who had offered the initial $20,000 bounty. The broker awkwardly backpedaled, claiming he had no idea Coffeezilla was a real investigative journalist rather than an influencer open to hired hits, rationalizing that the toxic skin-gambling scene had warped his perspective because "this industry has cooked him and everything is money-oriented."

Any lingering moral pretense that Monarch was acting out of pure altruistic outrage for scammed players was shattered by Grim. Grim presented an ultimatum message he received: Monarch offered to immediately halt the mob protests, flyer drops, and real-world harassment on the sole condition that Grim sever ties with CSGORoll and sign an equivalent promotional contract with CSGOEmpire instead. Beneath the rhetoric of justice, the harassment campaign was ultimately an aggressive, mob-style corporate takeover. Yet as Coffeezilla pointed out, while the bribes and physical intimidation were appalling, the real investigation could not simply frame millionaire gambling shills as blameless victims.

[22:58](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=1378s) The Real Victims and the Influencer Pipeline

Coffeezilla zooms out from the specific fight over CSGORoll and its owner Monarch to address the broader systemic crisis engulfing the *Counter-Strike* community. He explains that targeting a single platform barely scratches the surface of the underlying epidemic, remarking, “Monarch's just kind of the tip of the iceberg of the problem I want to know who's really behind this thing who's really the victims and who's really the villain.” The focus immediately shifts away from corporate maneuvering and back-room extortion schemes to the actual human cost of skin gambling, underscored by voices of young players recounting how early their habits formed. One victim recalls starting at just thirteen, while another echoes the exact same timeline, admitting they fell into it at thirteen or fourteen after watching creators showcase the sites in their videos.

```mermaid flowchart TD accTitle: The CS Gambling Influencer Pipeline accDescr: Flowchart illustrating how influencer promotion drives young viewers into gambling addiction. subgraph Exposure["Promotion Stage"] A["Influencers promote 3rd-party case opening sites"] B["Underage viewers watch gameplay (ages 13-14)"] end subgraph Funnel["Addiction Stage"] C["Viewers sign up on skin gambling platforms"] D["Players descend deeper into gambling addiction"] end A --> B B --> C C --> D ```

Coffeezilla points out that the true funnel into these platforms begins with trusted content creators rather than the casinos themselves. Viewers watch their favorite creators spin virtual wheels and open crates on third-party sites, normalized as harmless gaming entertainment, until they are drawn into serious addiction. Because taking down individual rogue operators leaves the machine intact, Coffeezilla concludes that holding the promoters accountable is the only viable path forward. Framing the next chapter of his investigation, he suggests, “Maybe the solution isn't with the casinos at all maybe it's a good time to talk about the influencers who promote it instead.”

- Multiple users recount being lured into *Counter-Strike* skin gambling as young as 13 or 14 years old directly through online creator endorsements. - Third-party case-opening sites rely heavily on influencer marketing to drive underage players down a spiral of gambling addiction. - Coffeezilla shifts the investigation's focus from individual casino proprietors toward the creators and influencers enabling the ecosystem.

This video is an opinion and in no way should be construed as statements of fact. Scams, bad business opportunities, and fake gurus are subjective terms that mean different things to different people. I think someone who promises $100K/month for an upfront fee of $2K is a scam.

Reading summary

After an operative offered Coffeezilla a $20,000 bounty to target an online skin-gambling competitor, the investigator uncovered a ruthless corporate feud in the Counter-Strike ecosystem marked by real-world mob tactics, physical intimidation, and pervasive underage gambling. The Corporate Feud Behind the PGL Disruption (1:37) The public spectacle of skin-gambling warfare broke out during the PGL Major Copenhagen, a tournament viewed by 1.8 million concurrent spectators with a prize pool exceeding $1 million. Operatives rushed the stage, destroyed the championship trophy, and attempted to handcuff themselves to equipment. While framed as a spontaneous protest against G2 Esports' sponsor CSGORoll, the disruption was financed and orchestrated by Monarch, the proprietor of rival gambling platform CSGOEmpire, who brazenly livestreamed bounties for individuals willing to interrupt the tournament matches. Real-World Intimidation and Mob Stunts (11:35) The confrontation between CSGOEmpire and CSGORoll traces back to a decade-old falling out between Monarch and CSGORoll's owner, Killian. The rivalry expanded beyond digital bickering into physical harassment campaigns targeting prominent promoters. When Counter-Strike content creator Grim defied Monarch's demands to cut ties with CSGORoll, Monarch's network coordinated the distribution of approximately 30,000 smear flyers across Grim's hometown in Norway, blanketing schools, mailboxes, and vehicles. Extortion Disguised as Altruistic Vigilantism (13:40) Monarch escalated the campaign by sending an entourage of roughly 15 to 18 demonstrators, carrying pitchforks and megaphones, directly to Grim's residence. Monarch defended these intimidation tactics as legitimate community retribution against a creator he claimed extracted over $6 million advertising an unethical platform to minors. However, Grim documented that Monarch offered to halt the harassment entirely on the condition that Grim sign an equivalent promotional agreement with CSGOEmpire, exposing the moral campaign as an aggressive bid for commercial control. Paranoia, Protection, and Paid Bounties (17:11) The escalating hostilities led both sides to live under constant security details. Grim's around-the-clock armed protection was financed directly by CSGORoll owner Killian, while Monarch similarly hired private bodyguards out of stated fear that Killian would orchestrate an assassination. Meanwhile, intermediaries tied to Monarch's camp attempted to recruit outside journalists by offering a $20,000 bounty to Coffeezilla to produce a hit piece on rival operations, an offer Coffeezilla rejected to pursue an independent investigation. The Influencer Funnel and Underage Gambling (22:58) Beyond the corporate power struggle between multi-millionaire site owners lies a widespread underage gambling crisis. Former players reported entering skin gambling through third-party crate-opening platforms at ages as young as 13 or 14, lured by gaming creators who presented the activity as standard video game entertainment. Because taking down individual casinos leaves the broader machinery intact, holding the influencer marketing network accountable remains central to addressing the problem. While the warring casino founders justify their actions through competing claims of self-defense and anti-scam vigilance, the underlying apparatus continues to profit off addictive mechanics marketed to young audiences, leaving open whether external regulation or platform crackdowns will curb influencer-driven skin gambling.

精炼阅读摘要

调查员Coffeezilla指出,《反恐精英》(Counter-Strike)饰品博彩在Valve公司2016年治理后并未消亡,反而已演变为数十亿美元的地下灰色帝国;两家头部博彩网站CSGOEmpire与CSGORoll之间的恶性仇杀不仅催生了雇凶抹黑与线下暴力骚扰,更掩盖了整个行业借助知名网红向未成年人渗透赌博的系统性危害。 收买调查与赛场袭击:恶性竞争公开化 (0:00) Coffeezilla透露,CSGOEmpire的关联人员曾开出2万美元的“悬赏兼赞助”,企图收买他制作针对其竞争对手CSGORoll的定向曝光视频。Coffeezilla拒绝了这笔资金,并决定将调查范围扩大至整个饰品赌博生态。这起商业仇杀在PGL哥本哈根Major赛事期间全面爆发:在一场吸引了180万同时在线观众、奖金逾100万美元的顶尖电竞比赛中,多名受雇人员冲上舞台砸毁冠军奖杯,并试图将自己铐在设备上,以抗议由CSGORoll赞助的G2 Esports战队。 调查证实,这场闹剧并非反赌博倡导者的自发抗议,而是由CSGOEmpire的化名经营者Monarch出资并直播煽动的蓄意破坏。Monarch在直播中公开招募人手并承诺提供报酬,甚至要求冲台者哪怕被安保拦截也要强行闯入。事后,Monarch设立了针对推广CSGORoll的内容创作者的“耻辱柱”(Wall of Shame),声称将对他们发起税务调查并封禁其全网社交媒体,自诩为伸张正义的英雄;CSGORoll的老板Killian则反指Monarch在进行病态且单方面的长期骚扰。 假借正义的线下围堵:传单攻击与暴力恐吓 (11:35) 调查显示,两大平台的冲突本质上是Monarch与Killian长达十年的个人恩怨。曾在推特上公开拒绝Monarch威胁的CSGORoll知名推广主播Grim,随即遭到了Monarch在线下的大规模人身报复。Monarch动员其追随者在Grim所居住的仅有3万人口的挪威小镇投放了约3万份攻击传单,全面覆盖当地高中、商场、私家车雨刷与住宅邮箱,传单上印有Grim的面部照片、房产与豪车,指控其通过CSGORoll诈骗观众以牟取暴利。 传单事件约一个月后,Monarch进一步组织了15至18人的团体,由一名自称因赌博破产的网红“Sticky Hand”带队,手持草叉、喇叭直奔Grim住所门前安营扎寨并叫嚣威胁。Monarch向Coffeezilla辩称,由于常规司法程序耗时冗长且涉案赌场极易卷款跑路(exit scam),动用线下私刑施压属于合理手段。然而,Grim向Coffeezilla出示的私信证实,Monarch曾提出只要Grim解除与CSGORoll的代言并转签CSGOEmpire,骚扰就会立即终止,证明这起行动实质上是一场黑帮式的人才抢夺与商业勒索。 恐惧与武装对峙:灰色暴利下的病态互防 (17:11) 由于地方执法力量未能有效制止骚扰,双方陷入了极端对立与高额武装戒备之中。Grim证实,在其住所遭遇围堵后,自己已由全天候私人武装保镖保护,而这项沉重的开销完全由CSGORoll的所有者Killian垫付,以保全其核心推广资源。与此同时,Monarch同样雇佣了严密的私人安保部队,声称Killian毫无人性与道德底线,甚至断言Killian从经济利益出发,会认为雇凶暗杀自己是一项“正期望值”(plus EV)的商业决策。 两位依靠未受监管行业积累巨额财富的老板因相互猜忌而陷入武装对峙,这种恐吓气氛也迅速蔓延至第三方内容创作者与报道该领域的独立电竞记者。Monarch的手法在整个行业内制造了极强的寒蝉效应。Coffeezilla在采访中发现,多位业内人士在私下交流时畅所欲言,但只要听到Monarch的名字便立刻陷入恐慌并拒绝在镜头前公开发声,导致整个圈子在暴力与报复威慑下集体沉默。 真正的受害者:网红引流与未成年成瘾链条 (22:58) Coffeezilla指出,博彩巨头之间的黑吃黑只是冰山一角,掩盖了更严重的系统性危机,即针对年轻受众的赌博成瘾陷阱。受害者证词表明,许多玩家早在13岁或14岁时就因观看网络主播的开箱与下注视频而涉足其中。第三方开箱网站极度依赖网红营销,主播们将高风险博彩包装成寻常的游戏娱乐,成为未成年人深陷泥潭的最初漏斗。 Coffeezilla认为,单纯打击个别行事极端的赌场经营者无法解决问题,只要利益结构不变,类似平台仍会层出不穷。由于真正将庞大用户群体输送进地下赌局的是各平台的签约主播,必须打破将网红单纯视为受害者的叙事。他呼吁将追责重心转向为黑产站台的内容创作者,从源头切断网红向未成年群体推介赌博的商业闭环。 Coffeezilla的调查揭露了饰品博彩巨头在私刑正义外衣下的黑帮式垄断,并将问责焦点引向前端推广网红。但在Valve公司的虚拟物品交易机制缺乏根本限制、离岸博彩监管依然真空的背景下,针对未成年玩家的博彩引流机制能否被真正遏制仍存疑问。

## Background 该视频由调查类自媒体频道 Coffeezilla 于 2024 年 12 月 18 日在 YouTube 发布。简介说明,作者数月前收到一份开价 2 万美元的“悬赏”,企图收买他曝光《反恐精英》(Counter-Strike)博彩圈的某个竞品赌场,他在深感被冒犯与好奇之余展开独立调查,最终决定将整个黑产行业连根拔起并公之于众。 ## TL;DR 知名调查记者 Coffeezilla 披露有博彩幕后势力企图以 2 万美元贿赂他做定点抹黑报道,促使他全面介入调查《反恐精英》背后数十亿美元的皮肤博彩产业链。调查从哥本哈根 Major 赛场突遭抗议者破坏奖杯的闹剧切入,逐步剥开博彩平台 CSGOEmpire 老板 Monarch 与 CSGORoll 掌舵人 Killian 之间的十年私怨与恶性商战。Monarch 打着“正义”旗号雇佣团伙全城散播 3 万张传单、派人围堵顶流主播 Grim 的私人住宅,并试图以停止骚扰为筹码强迫其转签自家平台,而双方甚至同时雇佣全天候保镖防备暗杀。最终 Coffeezilla 指出这场争端无关正义,双方均在嗜血牟利,而下一集的调查将把矛头对准那些明知故犯、诱导大量 13 至 14 岁未成年人深陷赌瘾的百万粉游戏网红。 ## Atmosphere & style 全片充斥着黑色幽默与荒诞主义色彩,Coffeezilla 在充满赛博朋克质感的虚拟演播室中与 AI 助手展开机智捧哏,用极具讽刺意味的笔调解构这场“赌场反赌场”的闹剧。随着对受害者与当事人的连线推进,氛围从最初对两万美元低劣贿赂的嗤之以鼻,迅速转为对线下人身威胁、全城人肉传单和雇佣保镖对峙等黑手党式行径的真实压迫感。整部调查如同游走在黑色喜剧与硬核犯罪纪录片之间,既有荒诞讽刺的戏剧张力,又在触及未成年人涉赌成瘾的悲剧自白时显露出令人背脊发凉的严肃与沉重。 ## Bulletin -

对方通过截图将这笔交易包装为“赏金”与“赞助”,意图借刀打击商业竞品。 - 对方开出的行贿金额为 20,000 美元。 - 整个调查项目被定义为关于《反恐精英》赌博黑幕的多集深度调查系列。 ### [01:05](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=65s) 未成年人涉赌:被忽视的暴利黑产 Coffeezilla 指出,《反恐精英》不仅是一款风靡全球的第一人称射击游戏,其衍生的饰品与皮肤博彩生态更引发了一场席卷全球的未成年人赌博灾难,每年的流水高达数亿乃至数十亿美元。外界许多人误以为在 2016 年 Valve 打击第三方赌博平台后,这种乱象就已彻底终结,但事实恰恰相反,当下的 CS 赌博产业链依旧极其庞大。 整个行业陷入了一种反常的沉默,因为身处其中的各方都赚得盆满钵满,没有谁愿意主动戳破泡沫;而极少数敢于发声的人,往往都会遭到残酷的报复。在演播室里,Coffeezilla 与他的虚拟助手就此展开对话。助手以为只是游戏里的外挂机器人泛滥,Coffeezilla 则纠正道他们要面对的是更为阴暗的赌博黑幕。为了解开这个庞杂的关系网,他先后采访了大约 40 位业内人士,但每个受访者都坚称自己是无辜的受害者,并互相推卸责任、彼此指责。面对这样错综复杂的指控,调查必须寻找一个最具标志性的突破口,而一切线索最终都指向了一场轰动电竞圈的突发线下事件。 ### [02:29](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=149s) 哥本哈根 Major 奖杯遇袭事件 这一连串丑闻的爆发点,始于在丹麦举办的哥本哈根 PGL Major(PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen)。作为《反恐精英》电竞赛事历史上规模最庞大的顶级锦标赛之一,该赛事吸引了超过 180 万观众线上观赛,奖金池突破百万美元,赛场更是设在宏伟的哥本哈根皇家体育馆(Royal Arena)。 正当赛事如火如荼进行时,现场突然爆发了意想不到的混乱:多名抗议者强行冲上聚光灯下的比赛主舞台,现场观众与解说陷入恐慌,原本属于冠军荣耀的赛事奖杯在混乱中被撞毁损坏。与此同时,场馆外甚至有人试图用手铐把自己锁在栏杆上。这群抗议者公开宣称是在抵制 CS:GO 赌博网站 CSGORoll,抗议其赞助了当时正在台上比赛的豪门战队 G2 Esports。然而,Coffeezilla 深入调查后发现,这根本不是什么自发的正义维权行动,冲台者完全是由另一家竞争对手博彩网站 CSGOEmpire 出钱雇佣的演员,上演了一场荒诞的“赌场反赌场”闹剧。 ```mermaid flowchart TD accTitle: 哥本哈根 Major 冲台闹剧幕后资金链路 accDescr: 展示 CSGOEmpire 幕后老板 Monarch 出资指使抗议者在 PGL Major 赛场针对赞助商为 CSGORoll 的 G2 战队实施破坏。 subgraph 幕后策划与出资 A["CSGOEmpire 幕后老板<br>(Monarch)"] end subgraph 现场破坏行动 B["受雇抗议者 / 演员"] C["PGL 哥本哈根 Major 比赛现场<br>(冲上舞台、砸毁奖杯、场外锁手铐)"] end subgraph 攻击目标 D["G2 Esports 战队"] E["战队赞助商:CSGORoll<br>(幕后老板:Killian)"] end A -->|"公开悬赏招募并支付酬劳"| B B -->|"突袭并破坏"| C C -->|"抗议施压"| D D -.->|"商业赞助绑定"| E ``` ### [03:41](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=221s) 幕后操盘手 Monarch 的狂妄直播 策划这场舞台突袭的主谋正是 CSGOEmpire 的拥有者,他在网络上自称为“Monarch”。令人震惊的是,此人对自己的破坏行动毫无掩饰,甚至在网上公开直播了整个策划与招募过程。他在直播中露骨地向全网观众喊话:“如果有人要去德国,或者你在德国有朋友,只要你冲上舞台,在比赛正进行的时候把自己粘在舞台上,或者更妙的是,用手铐把自己铐在电脑或者桌子上,我就给你一大笔钱。” Monarch 在直播中表现出极度的偏执与冷血。他甚至给受雇的抗议者下达死命令:无论现场有多少保安阻拦,即使被强行拖走也必须冲上去;他直言警告道,如果谁是毫发无损走着回家的,那就意味着任务失败、直接解雇。他毫不掩饰地对着镜头宣称:“我既然卷入了这场战争,我就会战斗到底。”在这次公然破坏赛事之后,Monarch 团队的成员主动联系了 Coffeezilla,希望以“悬赏”的名义向他购买一期视频,企图借独立调查记者的公信力彻底打垮竞争对手。 ### [05:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=300s) “复仇使者”与网红耻辱柱 Coffeezilla 毫不犹豫地回绝了对方的金钱利诱,但他敏锐地意识到这背后潜藏着重大黑幕。他向 Monarch 索要了其掌握的全部材料,同时联系了 CSGORoll 的幕后老板 Killian,以听取事件另一方的说法。面对指控,Killian 坚称这完全是一场针对他和平台的单方面网络骚扰与恶意抹黑。 然而,Monarch 的态度却更加激进。他不仅承认自己全力策划了针对 CSGORoll 的袭击,而且建立了一面所谓的“耻辱柱”(Wall of Shame),将所有与 CSGORoll 合作的海外知名游戏博主和网红列为清算目标。在一次直播声明中,Monarch 咬牙切齿地宣称:“他们从非法赌场赚取了数以百万计的欧元,而我所要做的,就是向这些混蛋执行正义。”他扬言税务调查即将来临,这些人都会被送进监狱,他们的 YouTube、Twitch 和 X(Twitter)账号都会被永久封禁。在与 Coffeezilla 的对话中,Monarch 极度自恋地给自己的角色定性:“在这个故事里,我将自己定位为某种英雄。” Monarch 坚称自己的目标并不单单是 Killian 一个人,打压对手是他多年来一直在做的事情。然而调查揭示出,两人之间绝非单纯的商业竞争,他们十年前曾是亲密无间的创业合伙人。Monarch 声称:“我十年前和 Killian 一起创办了第一家公司,是他把我的公司偷走了;我创办第二家公司时,他又找人试图将其搞垮;到了第三家公司,也就是我现在用来赚取全部财富、买下两座城堡的大公司,Killian 还在千方百计地想要毁掉我,甚至想让我被捕、置我于死地。”在 Monarch 眼中,Killian 是一个不折不扣的精神病患者,而那些推广 CSGORoll 的主播全是“爪牙”。Coffeezilla 则一语道破实质:这根本无关正义,完全是一场被私怨驱使的复仇行动。Monarch 甚至冷酷地表示:“复仇最美妙的地方就在于它没有截止期限,人生很长,你随时都可以动手。” - 核心人物 Monarch:CSGOEmpire 创始人,自称靠第三家博彩公司赚取暴利并买下两座城堡。 - 核心人物 Killian:CSGORoll 掌舵人,与 Monarch 有着长达十年的商业纠葛与背叛指控。 - Monarch 建立网络“耻辱柱”,扬言利用税务审查、司法指控和全网封号手段报复合作主播。 ### [08:08](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=488s) 行业集体失语与博主的恐惧 尽管外界常将 Monarch 的言行看作互联网边缘人物的无底线叫嚣,甚至演播室助手也调侃这只是一场需要“心理咨询”的怨偶互撕,但 Coffeezilla 很快发现事情远没有那么简单。在深入采访圈内从业者、选手和内容创作者时,一个极其诡异的现象反复出现:每当他提起“Monarch”这个名字,原本侃侃而谈的受访者往往会瞬间僵住,整个人陷入不知所措的沉默与恐慌中。 在放出的采访录像中,受访博主在听到该名字后神情剧变,眼神闪躲,尴尬地试图用“今天外面的天气真不错”来转移话题。受访者私下坦言,所有内幕大家只敢在幕后私底下低语,绝对没有任何人敢当着摄像机公开提及他,因为 Monarch 的恐吓手段极其极端,谁也不希望引火烧身。这种人人自危的气氛,让 Monarch 在 CS 赌博圈内如同步惊心魄的现实版“伏地魔”(Voldemort),绝大多数人连说出他的名字都感到恐惧。 ### [09:59](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=599s) 知名博主 Grim 的遭遇:全推力对抗 在这片普遍的噤声中,唯一敢于公开站出来指证的,是一位被列在 Monarch 耻辱柱上的元老级博主 Grim。Grim 透露自己接触 CS:GO 赌博长达十年之久,全职担任内容创作者也有将近八年时间。他向 Coffeezilla 详述了两人彻底交恶的来龙去脉。 根据 Grim 的回忆,双方的恩怨大约始于去年五月。Monarch 突然在社交媒体上私信威胁 Grim,强令他立刻放弃与 CSGORoll 的合作推广,否则后果自负。面对这种蛮横霸凌,Grim 选择了公开硬刚:他将两人的私信截图发在 Twitter 上公开反击,并放话让 Monarch 把所有的招数都使出来。Grim 在访谈中悔恨地表示:“回想起来,那是一个巨大的错误。”他当时对 Monarch 叫阵时使用了一个罕见词汇“全推力”(full thrust,意即全力出击、油门踩到底),结果这个词深深刺激了 Monarch。自那以后,Monarch 便对其展开了没完没了的报复与霸凌,并在每次施加打击后都会神经质地反问他:“这次的‘全推力’够不够猛?” - 受访者 Grim:深耕 CS 赌博领域约 10 年,从事博彩内容创作近 8 年。 - 冲突起因:Monarch 于去年 5 月向 Grim 发出最后通牒,要求其解除与竞品 CSGORoll 的一切合作。 - 矛盾激化:Grim 公开披露恐吓截图并使用“full thrust”挑战对方,招致了长期且极端的网络报复。 ### [11:35](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=695s) 散播三万张传单:针对网红 Grim 的现实线下骚扰 挪威 CS 赌博网红 Grim 向 Coffeezilla 讲述了自己遭遇的一系列现实恐吓。起初,有人从 CSGOEmpire 老板 Monarch 的多个 Discord 服务器(Monarch 将其戏称为自己的“Jofa 邪教”)中截获聊天记录,里面充斥着各种极端的计划,包括扬言要在 Grim 居住的整个城市张贴传单。原本几个月风平浪静,但到了 9 月的一天清晨,Grim 被亲朋好友连环轰炸的未接来电惊醒——现实中的传单攻击全面爆发。这些传单被贴满了高中的布告栏、购物中心、私家车的挡风玻璃,甚至直接塞进了家家户户的邮箱。 传单上印着 Grim 的正脸照片、他居住的豪宅以及他拥有的兰博基尼跑车,指控他在当地诈骗居民。Monarch 本人甚至公开发帖宣称他们一共印制并发放了约 30,000 张传单,而 Grim 所在的整个城镇人口也就大约三万人,相当于把整座城市地毯式覆盖。Coffeezilla 的虚拟助手 Maxwell 对此惊呼:“Coffee,这完全是一场针对个人的线下骚扰行动(personalized harassment campaign)!” 然而,Monarch 在接受 Coffeezilla 连线时毫无悔意,甚至全盘承认并认为这是“替天行道”。Monarch 情绪激动地辩解道:“He's one of Killian's main advertisers. He's made at least $6 million from blatantly promoting this scam.” Monarch 指责 Grim 多年来几乎每天都在直播 CSGORoll,以此大肆欺骗粉丝、敛财数百万美元,在挪威买豪宅开超跑,因此把这些传单发满全镇只是为了让街坊邻居认清他的真面目。 - 挪威网红 Grim 因长期为 CSGORoll 推广,据称赚取了至少 600 万美元。 - Monarch 动用约 30,000 张传单覆盖了人口仅 3 万左右的挪威小镇,散播 Grim 的肖像、住宅和车辆信息。 - Monarch 认为公开其个人住址与财产信息是完全合法的揭露行为,不存在道德亏欠。 --- ### [13:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=820s) 十八人围堵豪宅:所谓的“邪教抗议”与私刑正义 传单事件仅过去一个月,事态进一步恶化为直接的线下人身威胁。大约 18 个人直接杀到 Grim 位于挪威的家门口进行所谓的“线下抗议”。面对一个竞争对手赌场直接派人堵在自己家门口的行径,Grim 感到极度不安与恐惧。他表示挪威的法律和治安环境过于温和,根本无法有效应对这种黑手党式的恐吓手段。 Monarch 在连线中戏谑地将这次围堵描述为一场“滑稽的抗议”。他派出以“Sticky Hand”(一名声称因 CSGORoll 赌博骗局而输掉房子的网红)为首的约 15 人团伙,开着房车、带着帐篷驻扎在 Grim 家门口。这群人手持麦克风和干草叉,在居民区内游行叫嚣;Sticky Hand 甚至直接走上前疯狂敲打 Grim 的大门,对着镜头叫嚣要来找 Grim 算账。Coffeezilla 直言这种行为跨过了底线:“I say this is an insane level of harassment.” Coffeezilla 强调,即便 Grim 真的涉嫌诈骗,那也应该由执法机关处理,而不是由一个商业对手充当法外制裁者(video vigilantes)。 针对网络上传言其合伙人 Warren 曾公开悬赏“在 Minecraft(现实暗语)中砸开 Grim 家的大门”,Monarch 辩称这只是一个玩笑。但他坚称正规法律途径完全失效:“We've had extensive conversations with Grim himself; we know that he understands exactly what he's doing — he's consciously scamming people.” Monarch 透露他们虽然咨询了律师,但赌博产业的这些人总能钻法律空子逃避制裁,就算几年后有了结果,对方也早已完成卷款跑路(exit scammed),因此他们必须诉诸直接行动。 ```mermaid flowchart TD accTitle: 赌场冲突升级路线图 accDescr: 展示 CSGOEmpire 与 CSGORoll 之间从网络指控发展到线下人身威胁的升级流程 subgraph Phase1["舆论指控阶段"] A["CSGOEmpire (Monarch) 指控 CSGORoll 诈骗"] B["锁定主力推广主播 Grim (获利超 $600万)"] A --> B end subgraph Phase2["线下骚扰阶段"] C["全城派发 30,000 张人肉传单"] D["派遣 18 人团伙围堵豪宅 (Sticky Hand 带队)"] B --> C C --> D end subgraph Phase3["安保僵局阶段"] E["CSGORoll 资助 Grim 24/7 全天候保镖"] F["Monarch 同样惧怕暗杀 雇佣重度安保"] D --> E D --> F end ``` --- ### [17:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=1050s) 全天候保镖与死亡威胁:两败俱伤的黑色幽默 随着冲突极速升温,荒谬的局面出现了:交战双方不仅相互恐吓,更双双陷入了对人身安全的极度恐慌中。Grim 透露,在向挪威警方报案未果后,他不得不聘请 24/7 全天候保镖驻守在住宅门外。当 Coffeezilla 询问这笔昂贵的开销时,Grim 承认这笔天价安保费用并非由他自己承担,而是由其背后的金主——CSGORoll(由其关联方支持)全额买单。这演变成了一场荒诞的现实大戏:一家对手赌场在现实中跨国骚扰,受害主播由自己代言的赌场雇佣保镖抵御攻击。 更具讽刺意味的是,始作俑者 Monarch 本人同样陷入了致命的恐惧中。Monarch 声称自己也雇佣了身材魁梧的职业保镖寸步不离,必须严格隐藏自己的真实物理定位。在 Monarch 眼里,CSGORoll 的幕后操控者 Killian 是个毫无道德底线的恶魔:“Knowing him as a person, he's pure evil, has no morals; it would be literally plus EV to get me killed.” 他认为 Killian 杀掉自己在商业期望值上(+EV)是划算的。Maxwell 忍不住讽刺道:“I think I may be dying of what humans call irony.”(我大概要死于人类所谓的‘讽刺’了)——发起骚扰的人和遭受骚扰的人,竟然都在为自己的性命担忧。 这种线下报复行动甚至开始外溢到无辜第三方: - 另一名 YouTube 创作者也遭到了 Monarch 团队相同的“传单贴脸+上门围堵”待遇。 - 一位撰写揭露文章的电竞记者(Esports Journalist)近期也收到了死亡与人身威胁。 - Monarch 甚至轻浮地表示,他们正在考虑对这些记者和博主提起诽谤诉讼,并扬言:“I think it would be fun to do just for the lore, just for the memes, and it could be like a fun marketing campaign.”(我觉得这做起来挺好玩的,纯粹为了造梗和段子,还能当成一次有趣的营销活动。) --- ### [20:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=1240s) 贿赂与双重勒索:正义外衣下的商业争夺 回到核心问题,Coffeezilla 当面质问 Monarch 针对自己的安全隐患以及悬赏调查的事情。Coffeezilla 直截了当地表明立场:他将按照一贯的调查记者原则,以中立且基于事实的方式报道这起事件,但他绝对无法容忍任何人跑到自己家里骚扰。Monarch 连忙赔笑保证自己绝不会派“Sticky Hand”去 Coffeezilla 家敲门。当 Coffeezilla 揭露 Warren 曾向自己开出 20,000 美元的“悬赏”来做这期揭黑视频时,Monarch 佯装不知情,并称赞 Coffeezilla 是个坚守原则的伟大记者。 Coffeezilla 随后联系了最初试图以 2 万美元收买他的中间人。面对质问,该中间人百般推脱,声称自己起初根本不知道 Coffeezilla 是个不能收钱的严肃调查记者,并辩解称“CS 皮肤赌博这个行业彻底把我给毁了(cooked me),在这个圈子里所有人做所有事都只看钱”。 事实证明,这番话揭开了整场冲突最肮脏的真相:所有关于“揭露骗局”与“匡扶正义”的口号,背后全都是赤裸裸的利益洗牌。Grim 披露了一条关键信息:Monarch 曾给他发去私信提议——只要 Grim 肯公开与 CSGORoll 切断关系,并转而与 CSGOEmpire 签署同等报酬的代言合同,针对他家宅的所有围堵与线下骚扰就会立即停止。 Coffeezilla 总结道,虽然骚扰和行贿是不可磨灭的恶行,但这个故事的核心绝不是把这些身价数百万的赌博网红塑造成可怜的受害者,其背后隐藏着更大、更系统性的行业黑幕。 - Warren 曾向调查记者 Coffeezilla 开出 $20,000 美元悬赏,企图借刀杀人打击竞争对手。 - 中间人以“整个赌博行业已经彻底扭曲了金钱观”为由试图为其行贿行为开脱。 - Monarch 对 Grim 提出了明确的停战条件:只要跳槽并签约 CSGOEmpire 推广其赌场,一切线下暴力与恐吓便会瞬间烟消云散。 ### [22:58](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=1378s) 冰山一角:未成年受害者与推波助澜的网红群体 Coffeezilla 指出,对 Monarch 的曝光仅仅触及了这个庞大黑幕的冰山一角,整个调查范围远比最初设想的更为广泛。他强调团队正对该生态系统中的所有人展开调查,核心诉求在于厘清整个机制幕后的真正操盘手究竟是谁、谁是真正的受害者,以及谁又扮演了真正的恶人角色。 随着调查深入,视频切入多名年轻玩家令人痛心的亲身经历自白。数位年轻玩家回忆起自己初次接触《反恐精英》(Counter-Strike)赌博时的低龄状态,有人坦言自己大约在 13 岁或 14 岁左右就已深陷其中。诱发他们入局的根源往往极其相似:在互联网上观看了大量知名 YouTube 博主畅玩这类开箱与赌博网站的推广视频。年轻人看到自己喜爱的网红在第三方开箱网站上挥金如土,便一步步被诱导并滑入这个深渊,直到彻底对赌博成瘾。 面对这种系统性的诱导沉迷,Coffeezilla 重新审视了追责的方向。他认为,仅仅针对那些不断改头换面的非法赌场网站可能根本无法从源头上解决问题。Coffeezilla 直言:“Maybe the solution isn't with the casinos at all maybe it's a good time to talk about the influencers who promote it instead.” 随后,视频在紧凑的节奏与悬念音乐中收尾,将第二集的调查核心直指那些为赌博网站站台、诱导未成年粉丝深陷其中的网络博主与幕后推广链条。 - **极低的接触年龄**:受害者在自述中普遍提到自己在 13 岁至 14 岁时便已接触《反恐精英》的第三方赌博与开箱网站。 - **诱导机制的传导路径**:头部网红通过赞助内容在第三方开箱网站上进行演示,利用粉丝的信任感降低未成年人对赌博危害的防备心,形成从“观看娱乐视频”到“沉迷真钱赌博”的闭环。 - **调查重心转移**:相比于打击不断变换域名和皮壳的赌场本身,追究拿巨额赞助费推波助澜的网红博主正成为遏制此类危害的关键切入点。 ## Notable quotes > [05:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=300s) 复仇最美妙的地方就在于它没有截止期限,人生很长,你随时都可以动手。 — Monarch > [22:58](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE&t=1378s) Maybe the solution isn't with the casinos at all maybe it's a good time to talk about the influencers who promote it instead. — Coffeezilla ## Mentioned Coffeezilla, Monarch, Killian, Grim, Warren, Sticky Hand, CSGOEmpire, CSGORoll, G2 Esports, PGL Major, PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen, Valve, Counter-Strike, CS:GO, YouTube, Twitch, X (Twitter), Discord, Patreon, Royal Arena ## Video description Several months ago I got offered a "bounty" and "$20k" to expose a casino in the Counter Strike Industry.

Original transcript

[0:00] I got bribed to make this video twice [0:02] actually to expose a casino's business [0:04] rivals here's a screenshot calling it a [0:06] bounty and a sponsorship in exchange for [0:08] a video now I didn't take the money in [0:11] fact I'm quite angry about it not just [0:13] because these people thought I was for [0:14] sale but because they offered me a [0:16] dollar amount that was way too low now [0:19] everyone has seen those headlines of [0:21] casinos paying Millions a year for [0:23] influencers to sell their soul so when [0:24] they approached me I was expecting a [0:27] lot instead they offered $20,000 [0:30] to the guy in the $10 million Studio [0:33] ladies and gentlemen that doesn't even [0:34] cover the electricity bill now to be [0:36] clear we would never take a bribe of any [0:38] size this show is funded by $5 a month [0:41] on patreon that's where the real money [0:43] is but either way I had a dilemma [0:45] clearly these people thought I could be [0:47] bought if I ignored their bribe new [0:49] viewers might be confused I needed to [0:50] send a message and I needed to send it [0:53] fast so I decided on this rather than [0:55] expose just their competitors in the [0:57] gambling scene what if we exposed [1:00] everyone starting first with the people [1:03] who offered me money welcome to the [1:05] Counter-Strike gambling investigation a [1:07] multiart series where we're going to be [1:10] talking about a video game that has [1:11] created an underage gambling epidemic [1:14] that makes hundreds of millions even [1:16] billions a year now some people thought [1:19] it stopped in 2016 but they couldn't be [1:21] more wrong the world of Counter-Strike [1:22] gambling is still massive and nobody [1:24] wants to talk about it because most of [1:26] them are making too much money those who [1:28] do speak out have faced con consequences [1:30] so we've got to be careful either way [1:33] let's get [1:37] started has been [1:39] planted I've got to say coffee I'm [1:42] really proud you're taking on the bad [1:43] guys he's diffusing he's [1:46] diffusing you know I've been playing [1:48] Counterstrike for years and honestly the [1:50] Bots are really out of control the Bots [1:54] but you know we're doing a gambling [1:55] thing besides you're a bot not according [1:59] to [2:01] themist woo another race I I don't have [2:05] time for this you begged me to be my [2:07] sidekicker you going to help or not hey [2:09] I can [2:10] multitask what do you need I need to [2:13] find the bad guy I've interviewed like [2:15] 40 people for this story they all claim [2:16] to be the victim they're all pointing [2:19] fingers sounds pretty human to Me Maybe [2:22] all you really need is a more objective [2:24] you go ahead lay it on me well [2:29] everything comes back to one moment when [2:31] protesters raided the tournament wait [2:34] protesters at a [2:37] tournament yeah protesters at the pgl [2:40] majors in [2:55] Copenhagen it was one of the biggest [2:57] Esports tournaments ever for [2:59] Counterstrike 1.8 million watching over [3:01] a million in the prize poll it was [3:03] hosted at Royal Arena it was a big deal [3:05] and everything was going smoothly until [3:07] suddenly people rushed the stage the [3:09] crowd was panicked no one knew what was [3:10] going on someone broke the trophy on [3:12] stage and turns out there were people [3:14] handcuffing themselves outside nobody [3:17] knew what was going on they were upset [3:19] about csgo roll a gambling website that [3:21] sponsored one of the teams called [3:23] G2 huh some kind of overzealous Advocate [3:27] maybe no not like you'd think I found [3:29] out that the protesters had been paid to [3:31] be there by a rival Casino called csgo [3:34] Empire a casino protesting a casino [3:38] how'd you find that one funny you should [3:41] ask let me introduce you to our first [3:43] character the owner of CSO Empire he [3:47] calls himself Monarch he live streamed [3:50] himself doing the whole thing oh an [3:53] exhibitionist you have no idea if if Chu [3:57] is going to be playing on the stage I [3:59] was planning if somebody's going to [4:01] Germany or if you have any friends in [4:04] Germany I can pay you a good amount of [4:06] money just come to my DMs and I can pay [4:09] you a good amount of money if you run on [4:11] the stage in the middle of the game and [4:13] glue yourself on the stage or even [4:17] better if you if you put like handcuffs [4:19] if you can handcuff yourself on one of [4:21] the computers or one of the tables I [4:23] will pay you decent money they need to [4:25] go in even if there's a security guard [4:27] even if they're going to be taken away [4:29] if somebody goes home walking they will [4:31] be fired and I'm I'm so I'm so dedicated [4:34] to this like if I'm in a war I'm going [4:37] to be fighting to the [4:39] end wow this guy is just Shameless yeah [4:43] but it gets much worse someone from [4:45] Monarch's team at this point decides to [4:47] text me he offered me a bounty to cover [4:49] the story I'd already gotten a similar [4:51] email offering me 20 grand to expose the [4:54] scam Casino in that group obviously you [4:57] said yes [5:00] no [5:02] right right of course I said no I can't [5:07] take their money but I did want to speak [5:09] with Monarch I texted them back saying [5:11] I'll take the info but I also wanted to [5:13] text CSO rolls owner and ask them the [5:16] same thing I want their side of the [5:17] story too and well CSO RS owner is named [5:21] Killian he said it's a one-sided [5:23] harassment campaign Monarch on the other [5:25] hand says something much different he's [5:27] admits to attacking csgo role [5:30] but basically says he's attacking all [5:32] the influencers they work for him [5:34] they're on this wall of shame that he's [5:36] going after they have made millions and [5:38] millions of Euros from illegal casinos [5:42] and what I am going to do is I'm going [5:45] to be delivering Justice to these mother [5:48] tax investigations are coming people are [5:51] going to be going to jail YouTube [5:54] channels twit channels G channels [5:56] twitters they're going to be banned and [5:58] I will deliver Justice to these mother [6:03] Wall of Shame what is up with this guy [6:05] like I told you Monarch sees himself as [6:08] like a scam Buster or something a a he [6:12] thinks he's you no he said something [6:16] else actually I identify myself as some [6:20] sort of a hero in this in this story [6:23] it's it's very important to note [6:24] actually that kilan is not kilan is not [6:27] the only target like we we are having [6:29] war with other sides as well and I have [6:32] a track record like before this CS goal [6:34] drama I've been doing this thing for [6:36] many years actually that's really his [6:38] main defense he does this to everyone [6:42] maybe it's true maybe he's just got to [6:44] screw loose no the attacks here are more [6:47] personal and I found out Killian and [6:49] Monarch aren't just competitors they [6:51] used to be business partners I made a [6:53] company 10 years ago with [6:56] Killian who stole my company the second [6:59] company I made he tried people to have [7:01] my company shut down the third company [7:04] which is my current big company which I [7:06] made all my money both my castles [7:09] and he's been trying to do gilan has [7:12] been trying to do everything to take me [7:15] down get me arrested get me killed gilan [7:18] is a psychopath and these [7:21] are Gillian's minions and I'm going to [7:23] be taking down every single one of these [7:27] so kiling and betrayed [7:29] Monarch depends on who you believe the [7:32] point is this isn't so much about [7:34] Justice it's kind of about revenge the [7:37] the beautiful thing about revenge is [7:39] that there is no deadlines you know you [7:41] can do it whenever you know life is long [7:46] and you can do it [7:47] whenever by the way don't mind the guns [7:50] and stuff it's like a just fun games [7:53] what is coming for you is something [7:55] different there will be people going to [7:58] prison there will be [8:00] severe consequences there will be there [8:03] will be interesting stuff [8:06] coming coffee I'm starting to worry this [8:09] is a better help segue into coup's [8:11] counseling no I wouldn't scam you look [8:14] I'm just trying to show who this guy is [8:16] and what he wants look I'm not trying to [8:19] ruin your mind Hunter episode but [8:22] sometimes it really is as simple as an [8:24] unhinged internet tough guy yeah that's [8:26] kind of what I thought too but it's how [8:29] people talked about this guy when I [8:31] interviewed them they would just freeze [8:34] when I mentioned his name honestly it [8:36] was bizarre the thing that honestly [8:38] upsets me about the whole Monarch thing [8:40] and this is what's been so hard about [8:42] this story people will not give their [8:44] real opinion because everyone says [8:47] they're scared you and I were having a [8:49] nice [8:50] chat can't talk about the [8:53] mon why [9:08] um [9:10] [Music] [9:15] uh I'm [9:19] uh [9:25] um but the weather was like really nice [9:28] today outside dude come on tell me [9:30] what's going on everybody everybody [9:33] talks behind the scenes everyone talks [9:35] behind the scenes everyone talks nobody [9:37] talks in front of the camera why he [9:40] intimidates you guys he well no no no [9:42] not you guys he's intimidating someone [9:44] else and everyone doesn't want that to [9:45] happen to them is that [9:48] it I think it's [9:51] just no I'm not going to say anything [9:54] that is crazy it's like a real life [9:56] Voldemort I know most people were scared [9:59] to even talk except for one of the names [10:02] on Monarch's Wall of Shame yeah uh I'm [10:04] Grim I've been doing uh CCO gambling for [10:06] about a decade and I have been doing it [10:10] as a content creator for probably like [10:12] almost 8 years now can you take us from [10:15] the beginning of your relationship with [10:17] Monarch and just tell the story as you [10:20] see it right so it's been like almost a [10:24] year now so it's a little bit hard to [10:25] like get the timeline like completely [10:27] right on top of my head but it started [10:28] around May last year uh is when the the [10:32] I guess incl beef uh initially started [10:35] uh it was mostly just on Twitter [10:37] essentially started like threatening me [10:39] and uh told me that I needed to drop C G [10:42] or else right I then responded uh by [10:45] posting a tweet myself with a screenshot [10:47] of what he said calling him out for it [10:49] and telling him to come at me with [10:51] everything he's got which you know in [10:53] retrospect massive mistake I've known [10:56] him for a while a few years before this [10:58] he's never done anything like this that [11:00] I have seen before he might have done it [11:01] like privately without like you said you [11:04] told other people that similar stories [11:05] right but that just haven't spoken about [11:08] it and I think maybe that's what uh has [11:10] happened before but that's initially how [11:12] it went down yeah is you DM me I made my [11:15] tweet and uh you went after me ever [11:17] since so you say come after me with [11:20] everything you got yeah I think I used I [11:23] used to word full thrust cuz he keeps [11:25] telling me every time he does something [11:26] is this was this full thrust enough like [11:28] it's like stuck in his head that I use [11:30] the term full thrust go all in full [11:33] thrust if everybody goes full thrust [11:35] that's again when we go we go full [11:36] thrust again I started getting uh [11:38] screenshots from people that are inside [11:40] um one of his Discord he's got multiple [11:42] ones uh that he uses for his quote [11:44] unquote cult the jofa cult he calls it [11:46] where they were talking about uh [11:48] spraying some flyers around my city this [11:50] and that uh a lot of crazy ones that he [11:52] luckily didn't do but then nothing [11:54] really happened for a few months cuz [11:56] this was back in May and in around [11:58] September [11:59] I sudden wake up to a bunch of misals [12:03] from family friends everything right I [12:05] get told that they had posted Flyers [12:08] everywhere in my city and I mean [12:10] everywhere high schools malls people's [12:12] cars in their mailboxes Mor himself said [12:15] they get around 30,000 flyers and [12:17] there's about 30,000 people in my city [12:19] so they basically spread it everywhere [12:22] that I like a picture of coll me my [12:24] house my cars saying that like I'm [12:27] scamming people in my city that's [12:29] essentially how it started with the [12:31] Flyers what the coffee this is like a [12:35] personalized harassment campaign I know [12:38] but what freaked me out is that Monarch [12:39] doesn't deny any of it he thinks it's [12:42] Justified yeah there is this one case [12:44] this YouTuber called Grim who who lives [12:46] in Norway yeah um we we wor times about [12:50] like various things so he's a he's one [12:53] of Killian's main advertisers he's made [12:57] at least six million dollars from [13:01] blatantly promoting discount he's [13:03] basically for many years he's been [13:05] streaming like every day playing on CSO [13:08] at all and making making YouTube videos [13:11] there just blatantly scamming his [13:12] audience and making tons of money and he [13:15] has this like [13:17] uh kind of like has this mansion in in [13:20] Norway where he has like his [13:21] Lamborghinis parked outside we basically [13:24] we gave these flyers to like the full [13:26] town the full Town got these flyers that [13:28] has a Grim's face on it and it explains [13:31] like how he's made his money by by [13:34] scamming scamming people he just admits [13:37] to it oh he takes credit for a lot more [13:40] than that to what happened just uh a [13:42] month ago now when um they sent 18 [13:45] people to show up at my city outside my [13:49] door having a quote unquote protest wait [13:52] 18 people to your house yeah there was [13:55] 18 people and this is to be clear a [13:59] competitor casino to the one you're [14:01] working for [14:03] yeah [14:05] is harassing is the only word that comes [14:08] to mind here um well I don't even know [14:10] if it's I mean what what was it what do [14:12] you think it was was it intimidation [14:15] what was it oh it was definitely [14:17] intimidation as well as harassing um [14:20] because like obviously when they show up [14:21] in my house they make it incredible [14:23] difficult for me to be here cuz they're [14:25] going to be right at some El uh and uh [14:28] like again I live in Norway and our [14:30] rules are way too nice coffee I'll admit [14:34] it it's a little bit more than an [14:35] internet tough guy these are Mafia [14:38] tactics it's insane I mean Monarch is [14:41] still trying to say this is all fair [14:43] game yeah so we did this funny protest [14:45] one day we sent the cute little cult we [14:49] sent there was maybe like 15 people [14:51] outside of his house uh with the [14:54] infamous sticky hand who claims to have [14:56] lost his house to see a squirtle scam [14:59] it's sticky hand I'm a c because rolls [15:03] got my house Grim I'm coming for you I'm [15:08] coming for [15:13] you they were they they parked with [15:16] their like tents like outside of the [15:18] house and they had like microphones and [15:20] they had the pitch forks and stuff and [15:22] they were just like marching in the [15:23] neighborhood and sticky hand did also he [15:25] went to he went to knock he went to [15:27] knock on his door to speak with him I [15:30] say this is an insane level of [15:33] harassment I mean I like like I I get [15:36] that you believe he scammed people and [15:38] and let's say he did scam people that [15:40] that should be left to law enforcement [15:43] not to like you know y'all are basically [15:46] like vigil video Vigilantes you know [15:48] going to his house I saw Warren also [15:51] posted something about like he'd pay [15:52] money for someone to break into his [15:54] house in Minecraft that was a joke or [15:59] that OB obvious joke yeah that that [16:01] would be that would be crossing crossing [16:03] a line yeah I can I can agree somebody [16:06] could say that this is like it's it it [16:09] might be pretty insane but um but that's [16:12] how much you you believe Killion has [16:15] scammed people I think it goes to what [16:17] you're you know you're you detest this [16:19] company so much you think basically it's [16:23] worth the price to like for this war no [16:26] so [16:27] we so we have we have the numbers we [16:29] have the facts we know we pretty much [16:31] know exactly how much he has made from [16:33] from CSCO all we've had extensive [16:36] conversations with grim himself we know [16:38] that he understands exactly what he's [16:41] doing he's consciously scamming people [16:44] and uh we have consulted lawyers about [16:46] this and we are actually planning to [16:47] take legal action but the unfortunate [16:50] thing is that there there are ways how [16:52] they can evade this kind of like legal [16:54] justice and probably there's not going [16:57] to be real like legal [16:59] consequences for him and if there are [17:02] it's going to be kind of you know years [17:05] down the line after CS has exit scammed [17:08] that's sort of my problem this is [17:11] clearly harassment but Monarch's not [17:14] wrong that the people in this industry [17:16] usually get away with it but he's in the [17:19] same industry well exactly and that's [17:23] what kills his argument either way this [17:26] whole thing is so heated that both sides [17:28] now think they're in Danger let's talk [17:30] about [17:31] security obviously [17:34] um probably is shaking You Up made you [17:38] rethink how much you need to protect [17:40] yourself have you taken any steps to try [17:43] to obviously you said you did go to the [17:45] police they did nothing what else did [17:47] you [17:48] do uh right now I have 247 security [17:50] sitting outside um so that's the [17:53] precaution I have uh [17:56] currently that's expensive [17:59] yeah no it is expensive uh it is like [18:01] I'm not paying for it but yes it is [18:03] expensive I've heard fig is [18:05] for is paying for [18:08] it so so you got your rival casinos and [18:12] one is paying for 247 security for the [18:15] influencer because an opponent opponent [18:18] casino is going to go go to their house [18:20] and harass them and and possibly do [18:23] more yeah oh also like I'm I'm genuinely [18:27] I'm genuinely scared for my life I'm [18:29] genuinely scared for my family like [18:32] because of this whole thing like I I am [18:36] with like huge ass security guards and [18:38] uh I I I need to be like super careful I [18:42] I don't really like I need to be careful [18:45] where I where I move and I need to be [18:47] super careful about like my my location [18:51] being doxed um cuz I I I think he has he [18:55] has all the reasons to kill me so [19:00] do you think he would he would cross [19:02] that line as you said you would never do [19:04] that do you think he would no knowing [19:07] him knowing him as a person he he's pure [19:10] evil has no has no morals it would be it [19:14] would be literally plus EV to get me [19:15] killed so now I'm just I'm doing my best [19:18] to first of all not have my location [19:19] leaked but also I have like significant [19:22] security because of that that has to be [19:25] a serious expense I mean it's like 247 [19:27] security is expensive [19:29] right I mean it's it's not Cheap plus [19:32] also like have to take a bunch of like [19:35] precautions for my for my family as well [19:37] I think I may be dying of what humans [19:40] call irony they're both scared yeah [19:43] everyone's terrified of Revenge and it [19:46] explains why people not involved [19:47] wouldn't want to be involved even just [19:49] recently I heard another YouTuber has [19:51] been getting the Monarch treatment [19:53] Flyers house visits confrontations who [19:56] would want that you apparently wants to [19:59] stop Monarch from coming after you [20:02] nothing I mean I would say the [20:04] harassment is usually limited to [20:06] influencers in the gambling sector but [20:08] recently an Esports journalist got [20:10] threatened as well these people are [20:12] dangerous and these people are clearly [20:15] willing to do anything for money let's [20:18] get them out of Esports once and for all [20:21] we are looking into it we we might we [20:23] might actually do some legal action [20:26] toward ours him like some defamation [20:28] lawsuit or whatever I think it would be [20:30] fun to do just just for the lore just [20:32] for the memes and it could be like a [20:33] this could be a fun marketing campaign [20:35] and for this reason the cult is coming [20:38] for a short I tried to confront Monarch [20:40] on it I also tried to confront him on [20:42] this bounty thing I'm going to do this [20:44] story and obviously I'm going to try to [20:46] tell it how I tell all my stories which [20:48] is [20:49] as neutral and like to the facts as [20:52] possible but I don't want anyone going [20:54] after me either I don't want anyone [20:55] showing up in my house to be very [20:57] transparent with you [21:00] yeah yeah I'll I'll be transparent and I [21:04] I'm not intending to send any any sticky [21:06] hands so oh I also have to say did you [21:10] know Warren offered me a bounty to do [21:12] this [21:13] [Music] [21:15] story I did [21:17] not y'all shouldn't tell journalists [21:20] that that's not a good that's not good [21:22] y'all shouldn't pay people to do [21:26] stories no yeah because I it just makes [21:30] it hard to you know cuz I can't um I [21:33] can't I can't obviously can't accept [21:35] that that would completely compromise [21:37] everything I stand for to be like it'd [21:40] be bias it' bias me towards your your [21:43] side if I was to accept [21:46] that okay yeah good I just wanted to [21:48] address it and I I I really I I respect [21:52] your your approach see that you're [21:54] you're you're a great journalist oh how [21:56] reassuring that someone you're making a [21:58] video on likes you before the story yeah [22:01] I guess we'll see if he keeps his [22:03] promise on that but I also wanted to [22:05] confront the guy who offered me $22,000 [22:07] to do the story too let me guess he [22:09] dodged the question sort of he said that [22:13] he didn't know that I was a journalist [22:16] and that I wasn't someone to offer money [22:18] to he also claimed that this industry [22:20] has cooked him and that everything is [22:23] money oriented I mean that part might be [22:26] true oh for sure I mean for all the talk [22:29] about Justice and scams it's about money [22:32] too just recently Grim says he got this [22:34] message Monarch would stop the house [22:37] harassment if he dropped csgo roll and [22:39] took a match deal at csgo Empire so [22:42] that's that then you've had the villain [22:44] the whole time not [22:47] quite I mean we had to address the bribe [22:50] we have to address the harassment but [22:52] our story is not about gambling [22:54] influencers being the victims who are [22:56] also millionaires by the way remember [22:58] we're investigating everyone and [23:00] Monarch's just kind of the tip of the [23:02] iceberg of the problem I want to know [23:05] who's really behind this thing who's [23:06] really the victims and who's really the [23:11] villain I started gambling on [23:13] Counterstrike when I was probably 13 [23:14] years old 13 years old 14 years old I [23:17] think I was 14 I saw it online I saw a [23:20] bunch of these YouTubers playing it [23:26] yes they see their favorite influencer [23:29] playing on [23:30] some third party case opening site and [23:34] they just go deeper and deeper into this [23:36] Rabbit Hole until they are addicted [23:38] maybe the solution isn't with the [23:40] casinos at all maybe it's a good time to [23:43] talk about the influencers who promote [23:45] it instead [23:58] [Music] [24:00] go [24:08]
