Mr Beast Threatening Legal Action
Youtuber DogPack404 has received a threatening cease and desist letter from Mr Beast's legal team for his expose video "I Worked For Mr Beast, He's A Fraud".

what do you think of this?
Is it a fair action to take against him or do you think it is it just an attempt at silencing him?

Sending him a cease and desist letter only proves how guilty MrBeast is.

One thing I've learned over the years, nobody ever sells themselves that hard without having something to hide. Mr. Beast's just the latest.

At least it isn't a "Seize and Desist". But the legal team themselves claims to be the bestest of them all.

"On the next episode of TMZ's 'Where Are They Now?' documentary series, meet the 10 thousand orphans that were adopted by Mr. Beast and hear how the Youtube philanthropist changed their lives."

he seems legit, he doesn't really have anything to gain from this especially from critiquing one of the biggest creators on the platform, if anything he willingly put a target on his back but he didn't actually reveal anything that was classified and sensitive information. uwu

The information's sourced from the guy who worked for Mr. Beast since the early days. Plus, you don't get shadowbanned by YouTube unless you've hit a little too close to home.

If they followed through with their threat with a civil case based on slander/libel and it was dismissed because the Judge found the statements "true," the repercussions for Beat&Co would be monstrous...

But, if thee accusations were not allowed and they could prove malice on the part of Dogpack, he might be in some financial trouble.

I doubt it would be taken that far, but they've chosen to get formal with this and now there's legalese involved - Dogpack needs a good attorney to navigate this. If he goes about this on his own, he's got an idiot for a client...

https://www.reddit.com/r/mrbeastsnark/comments/1egx8d8/mrbeast_sends_cease_and_desist_letter_to/

This is only part of the letter, IIRC.

But, there is mention of an NDA.

For criminal activities being reported, such as the "lottery" and "sweepstakes" violations, he may have some protection from an NDA.

But... he's trod over a lot of NDA things that may not have much to do with illegal activities. In short, he's painted those illegal activities in high relief, but with too broad a brush...

I think that, if pursued, he'd be extremely lucky to escape all the violations of his NDA in a civil suit. Mr. Beast can still end up being investigated, prosecuted, and found guilty of breaking the law even while Dogpack is sued into oblivion for breaking his NDA... Now, as far as "damages," I'd think that it'd be difficult for Mr. Beast to claim that the damages they incurred due to the breaking of the NDA weren't actually due to their own illegal activity. Still, I think they'd win "something" from a suit eve if Mr. Beast was found guilty.

I am not an attorney. This isn't legal advice. If anyone thinks this is legal advice, they should double-check the dosage level of their prescription meds with their physician...
If he has a real solid case and a good lawyer, the cease and desist will only fire up that lawyer even more to kick Mr. Wimp's ass

They should investigate the hell out of Beast, most likely huge mountain of shady crap over the years.

if it wasnt real they wouldnt bother taking action. u defend urself to threats not lies.

I don't really know this guy, but as far as I know the content of his videos was fake, acting only. One must seriously have a very negative IQ to have thought it was real. I hope he got very rich off his audience, I have a deep contempt for them, they don't have my sympathy, and quite frankly it doesn't matter if his videos are real or fake, it's just cheap entertainment.

Now these same people are taking pleasure in wanting to destroy this big youtuber, this sadistic desire to break a popular person, the others who make videos on the subject like vultures to make as much money as possible.

No, there's no soul, it's the most bestial emptiness, it reminds me of the story of a pokemon fan who literally had a youtube channel dedicated to his harassment, although I despise this person, I mostly felt a great disgust at the dedication that people have to do harm.

Back to reality.

not entirely
if it was false and has affected the brand it can be seen as slander which you can take action for uwu

Have you seen those youtube video ads that claim that drinking warm water at night will cure diabetes?

I imagine it'll still be a few months before some regulatory agency catches up with them. But, they will prosecute them based not on what some person may interpret, but based upon what they claim in their advertising.

There is plenty of video evidence of what appears to document Mr. Beast running illegal sweepstakes and changing the rules in the middle of the giveaway. There's plenty of video footage showing him altering a contest in order to pick a winner to give a large monetary prize.

These aren't interpreted as "fiction" by the audience. They are presented as contests and live programming, many times acting as inducements for people to call in and give Mr. Beast money for a "chance to win" that... does not really exist.

That's Fraud.

Regardless of what happens to DogPack, there's enough evidence of issues here to fuel at least a serious criminal investigation of Mr. Beast's practices.
