2019 February - Context for the Paul Denino Ice Poseidon "Ponzi scheme" streaming website.

This post will continue to be updated as more information and sources are compiled.

Recently a video clip from Paul Denino's live stream has hit the top of \/r/videos and front page of \/r/all.

\/r/Videos post: "**Live streamer unknowingly admits to running a ponzi scheme, conning millions of dollars from investors**"

Paul Denino is a livestreamer that began on Twitch, then after being banned from the platform moved to Youtube.

He is known as Ice Poseidon and runs the quarantined (and currently privated) subreddit /r/Ice_Poseidon. There is a second quarantined community that he does not run called /r/Ice_Poseidon2.

There are claims that Paul Denino has started a Ponzi scheme after a clip from his livestream has begun circulating in which he explains,

>"**In order for the investors to make their money back**, what we do is we grow the company to a certain point, and then **we have other investors come in** and obviously they invest their money as well, hopefully more than 2 million dollars, and then obviously when we get more than 2 million dollars invested, **the ??? investors get their 2 mil back**, and then we have more money for the company."

This sounds like promising investors returns, then paying those returns with new investors' money.

Which would be a Ponzi scheme.

The prospective company is Scuffed.com, which aims to compete with Twitch as a livestreaming platform.

Paul claims to have received an initial investment of $2 million.

Keemstar has tweeted a video in which he claims this is **not** a Ponzi scheme.

There are claims that Keemstar is invested in the same company that owns Scuffed.com, named Streamme Inc.

He has promoted Stream.me in the past.

######Take this part with some skepticism:

There are additional claims that Paul has spent investment money on a renovated 1984 Guerrilla Titan military vehicle and renting a mansion.

Video about the truck:

Paul claims the mansion is worth $7 million in this video:

There are additional claims that it is Paul's manager Brent Kaskel that has pushed him into accepting this deal.
