YouTube Stars Are Pushing a Shady Gambling Site

I spoke with a guy at a leather shop in Florence. He said all he had to do was give a few leather jackets to instragam or social media models. They would share his name, keep the nice leather products, and he said he could get 100s of orders.

The models didn’t even ask for payment. I can’t imagine what the Instagram models and YouTube superstars demand.

Other Youtubers have reported being contacted for the Gambling website this thread is based on. Each one reported being offered between 10k and 20k to push this scam.

It's speculated the biggest Youtubers pushing this are being paid up to 6 figures.

Keemstar said he was offered 100000$ but turned it down. Ricegum said in his followup video that he was offered more since he has more subscribers.
