IShowSpeed claims Adin Ross paid his $20,000 bail after swatting incident YouTube: IShowSpeedYouTube star IShowSpeed was the victim of a swatting on August 8 \u2014 and says that Twitch streamer Adin Ross paid his bail after the incident. Several high-profile streamers have been the unfortunate targets of swatting in the first two weeks of August 2022. On August 7, Twitch star Adin Ross was swatted during a live broadcast, with viewers able to see law enforcement entering his room with guns drawn. The very next day, YouTuber IShowSpeed was also swatted during a live stream. Officers took the broadcaster outside to question him before placing him in handcuffs and ultimately ending the feed. Ross updated Speed\u2019s fans on the situation shortly after the clip of Speed\u2019s swatting went viral, reassuring viewers that he was \u201cdoing good\u201d and confirming that the YouTuber had, indeed, been swatted. Several days later, Speed has claimed that Adin Ross had paid his bail to get him out of jail \u2014 a whopping $20,000 amount. \u201c\u2018How much was your bail?’\u201d he read a comment aloud from his chat during another live stream. \u201cIt was $20,000. My boy Adin came in clutch. He paid it fully.\u201d \u201cHe wired it. Obviously, he wasn\u2019t in town, so he wired it to the confederation of the department I was in. It was really pretty simple. They gave me back all my stuff \u2014 my phone, my pants that I was with. I didn\u2019t have any shoes on, so they just gave me some flip flops. \u2026that was really pretty much it.\u201d (Topic begins at 43:57) Some commenters aren\u2019t believing Speed\u2019s story, though. A few claim that he might be joking, as Speed was the victim of a swatting and not the perpetrator of the crime. Others claim that Speed was not swatted, but instead prank called the authorities, as Speed had dialed someone on his August 8 live stream named \u2018911\u2019 in his contacts. However, the person who answered on the other end of the line has also been said to be a friend of Speed\u2019s, who he\u2019d placed in his contacts under that name. Ross himself has not commented on this particular claim of paying Speed\u2019s bail at the time of writing. IShowSpeed and Adin aren\u2019t the only streamers who\u2019ve been swatted recently; Apex Legends star \u2018ImperialHal\u2019 was also swatted during a broadcast on July 30, while streamer \u2018Keffals\u2019 was swatted on August 5, leaving her \u201cterrified.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
