Great first part of a very interesting case. Keep up the good work and have a great end of the year as well.

You should concider looking into the cs youtuber Sparkles' crypto wallet transactions. In a seemingly deleted video, about him getting scammed, he linked the transaction in the description. I'm sure you know how to find it better than me, but he is making automated transactions many times a minute, 24/7/365. Maybe it's normal but it looks weird.

New patreon follower here and this is exactly the type of investigation that made me join. Truly, you are a legend Sir!
Denis Mercure
I hate this phatphuck since CS Source, I got the "Year of service" badge only because of "You wanna play CS, do what I say". Since then, I don't like this chubby mofo.
DOM Pekka
He's convinced he's the Good Guy and his competitor is Evil.

Greed, stupid greed, and power games? Why do they do it? I've always wondered if people put the effort into building good things vs. terrible things :)
Yourfriends AndMe
:) sure it is worth it.
Elisa M.R.
Given how often we hear Monarch use the word cult, that cult leader vibe is likely a feature and not a bug.
Tim Hyde
terminally online millionaires terrified of each other, with 24/7 personal security detail sponsored by video game skin casinos. thank you for this feast!
cadentipton
Haha the betterhelp diss sent me rolling
William Smith
Pretty sure you are already aware, but this monarch guy just recently won almost 5 million dollars from few poker tournaments in triton poker series.
People of jakertown
So you good?
LukeTheKing27
It's funny how if they hadn't reached out, they probably wouldn't have gotten investigated, at least so soon
lakersbaby
monarch reacted to this stream and made veiled threats to Arrow. He pretended he didn't know him, and said he wanted to beat the sh!t outta him.
Eric August
this investigation had such a great hook. tried to bribe you, got investigated instead, because of the insultingly low bribe :)
anthony goguen
I love it!

When you're offering people money to harass and threaten others, someone stupid or desperate might think that going further = more money paid. So, even though he says he doesn't have any intentions that anyone be killed, he's creating and funding the conditions for it to happen. Just look at his right hand man offering you a bounty to do a hit piece, he says he didn't know that he had done that. It's a perfect example of someone going further than he was aware of on his behalf. He doesn't have full control in the guerrilla tactics he's employing, and he needs to get a reality check that guerilla tactics get people killed. *source-- grew up in a trap house with a kingpin step dad who nearly got me shot at age 12.

Man I haven't played counterstrike in forever. Didn't even know it was still a thing
James Linderman
This is a crazy story overall https://internettalk.substack.com/p/cults-vendettas-gambling-how-a-ten?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web Also for anyone interested, in that steam link "pureofrune" is sticky hand. The linked article explains that maybe he didnt lose his house after all.
Asif Ali
Oh man, this just isn't a coffeezilla video, this is a coffeezilla /investigation/. I'm so hyped
Nmk
The guy started his trolling career very early: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/cultofjofa/discussions/0/3810659955909456985/

The prod is better than ever in this one. I got taken away by the dialogues, the music and the visuals. A kind of perfection has been reached here.
Sadie Pittman
Amazing detail from Ed! Such an interesting story - looking forward to hearing the rest!
Mario Stoilov
This show is funded by a monthly $5 bribe...... I mean membership
Aaron Hardy
That was an unexpected level of weird intensity.
Blu3Diamond
My favorite episode so far! I've been playing CSGO for 10 years
Sergio Sandoval
Best 5 bucks I ever spent

Didn't take very long to find this one, though. 😂 https://x.com/PauliusSab/status/1868886226608238763

You can try something like xcancel.com or just go make a throwaway.

Really hope he doesnt talk to moe in this series. That dude is such a waste of time
FurBz GriNd
Weirdly enough I decided to rock my "waiting for refunds" shirt today. I could sense the scandal in the air
Fernanda Alario
Ohhhh! Here for this content! Take my money please!

Probably all of part 3
Bob
The "mult-tasking" bit with one of his eyes still looking down at the game was pretty good. The actual investigation was ace as well and the presentation sold it. Worth every penny.
Holly Smith
Can someone with a twitter account tell me what the comments and retweets are saying?
kiss shot
i'm so fucking happy for this series, cs gambling needs to be finally adressed, i despise it
Zakee Khattak
The CSGO gambling scene has always been hella sketch, but this is real insanity.
Brianna Pham
FYI monarch has gone on a twitter rampage about this video "When I joined the interview, I already anticipated that he would try to present me in a particularly bad light and paint me as the villain. And well, that’s exactly what he did." link: https://twitter.com/CSGOEmpireV2/status/1868820652272042334
James Linderman
The look in his eyes is just empty. Hollow even. Like he doesnt really respond like we'd expect.
Jon Arbuckle
Just joined to watch this video and Im not disappointed, great work!!
Cameron Cookl
Money really does corrupt because this stuff is absolutely insane.
Thomas R.
Great video. No excuse for the harassment, and Monarch is giving off death cult leader vibes, but I'm still not sure I can on the side of influencers who become millionaires selling gambling to their audience of children. The "next time on" segment seems to imply this series will keep following that issue.

NotSoBadAndy
This is possibly the most insane video of yours I've ever watched. Good god.
Humberto Muñoz
It's a tale a od as time, someone betrays you & so you want revenge, and when money is involved the stakes become much higher. Just hope you don't get caught in the cross fire but this story sounds juicy & can't wait for the next episode
Vinícius
Oh boy. I feel watching a kid open that old wardrobe full of stuff and just swarm him. CSGO Competitive scene has been feed by gambling websites for centuries. Its about time someone will shed a light in whos been profiting so bad at the expense of others.
Ximena Garcia
If the topic wasn't under your radar already, they told on themselves .. I'm not sure what train of thought led them to "coffee would totally look ONLY into my competitors"
Mike Gervasi
Holy shit, Coffee. This is fantastic. I've no knowledge of this space but what a great story. I really got the feeling you had to walk on eggshells with The Don. Be careful.
Katizaris Leanisillis
Monarch genuinely scares me. All of Coffee's subjects come off like people you really don't want to get involved with, but he is different somehow. Something subtly shifts in his affect when Coffee brings up the bribe, and whatever it is made me physically flinch away from my phone. This guy is dangerous.
The Last Scientist
Great. This looks good.
Jazzpha
This was, as you said, an absolutely wild ride. The amount of rationalization something like this takes is truly staggering. It'd be a hilarious farce if it weren't real life. Can't wait for part 2!
Teej
Incredible. Hit it out the ball park and it’s only part I.
Letcha B
Damn, brother! This shit is good. Excited for part 2
Ada MC
Wow, that was goosebumps inducing. The only thing I knew prior to this video, about CSGO, was a YouTuber that left when they did some changes to the skin trading system. I can't recall the details, but I do recall the YouTuber was very, very young and after losing that CSGO income, he crashed his vehicles. So my prior knowledge of it was already about scams and tragedy .
Lebon14
Oooh boy. I feel this is going to explode once posted to YT...
Clifford Frojd
Awesome video keep up the good work Coffee, and may I say the 10million dollar studio is looking nicer then ever 👌

Fantastic video. That’s a weird 1v1 Cold War they have settled into.

Can’t wait for the next part :)

OMG I remembered suggesting this premise on his Q&A post!! This is awesome!!

Crazy the amount of money generated thru this!

Interesting can’t wait to see the rest

Excited just at seeing the thumbnail.

Maybe you should look at the phatphuck name Gabe Newell?
