Pokimane claims FaZe Clan\u2019s cryptocurrency drama is proof it could be \u201cillegal\u201d Twitch: Pokimane \/ FaZe ClanDuring her podcast with streamer Mizkif, Twitch star Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys reacted to FaZe Clan dropping Kay and suspending Jarvis over cryptocurrency. Pokimane and Mizkif were stunned after FaZe Clan announced only July 2 their decision to remove Kay from the company and suspend Jarvis, Nikan, and Teeqo over their promotion of cryptocurrency. The Morroco-Canadian slammed the content creators, calling them greedy for pushing sketchy crypto on their fans. The Twitch star also explained why the org\u2019s decision was possibly an \u2018admission\u2019 that their actions were \u201cillegal.\u201d Pokimane says she is confused by the greed of streamers After applauding FaZe Clan for their decision, Pokimane argued that the popular esports org was essentially admitting that the actions of some of its members were possibly illegal. \u201cIf that is not verbatim saying that\u2019s illegal, I don\u2019t know whatever could be,\u201d she exclaimed after reading their July 2 statement. The Twitch star then explained to Mizkif why she is confused by the influx of influencers promoting these schemes to their viewers. \u201cThis is what confuses me. Motherf**kers will be this rich and they will STILL do illegal stuff for money,\u201d she continued. Mizkif argued that it\u2019s difficult for some streamers to say no to promoting the digital currency due to fear of their money one day going away. Poki responded by saying, \u201cIs it though?\u201d before adding, \u201cIf you LITERALLY have millions in your bank account, how is that going to just \u2018go away?’\u201d Anys also stated that rich streamers shouldn\u2019t be this desperate. \u201cI think they just want more money and don\u2019t care. Let\u2019s say you got three million in the bank account. Your lifestyle between three million and five isn\u2019t going to change. If it\u2019s not going to impact yourself whatsoever then why are you doing these things?\u201d she said. She again shot down the idea that streamers were only doing this out of fear of their fame and money may one day go away: \u201cOh no, I made four million instead of seven. Wah wah, goo go ga ga. What about the money that viewers are losing who needed it a f**k ton more than you do!\u201d This isn\u2019t the first time Pokimane has been critical of wealthy streamers making money by promoting things to their viewers. On June 28, the star called out Trainwrecks for doing gambling streams. At the time of writing, it\u2019s not clear whether FaZe Clan will drop Jarvis, Nikan, and Teeqo as they are currently under investigation. The org stated, \u201cWe strongly condemn their recent behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
