Can't say I've ever heard of it before but must be doing something to have $100m for this.

AKA a Ponzi scheme
@Shadocvao Stake (a sketchy online casinos) made Kick after Twitch banned gambling using sketchy online casinos from the platform.
XQC was one of the streamer sponsored by Stake.
Xqc got mad when another streamer (Mizkif) were campaigning to get gambling banned from Twitch, so XQC try to weaponized a girl sexual allegation against Mizkif's friend in order to cancelled Mizkif.
