    I'm going to go out on a limb and say Amazon isn't too concerned about shady business practices
  • @lazypaladin
    Rigged, illegal, whatever it is: "That raccoon is a paid actor" is hilarious πŸ˜‚
  • @rachelz57
    if devin does a part two, the eagleteam intro is gonna be "if YOUR boss puts you in a torment nexus and makes you run a marathon while sleep deprived, you'll want a good lawyer"
  • @xdtjv2843
    I like that CaptainSparkles admitted to doing an illegal lottery. It's honest and removes the 'hypocrit!' argument.
  • @hero_aqoe
    Can't wait for the paid raccoon to be the witness on the stand.
  • I feel like the "faked video" thing only matters because he repeatedly claims that it's not. The real meat is the "alleged" criminal acts and I have been really looking forward to your coverage.
  • @Jabrwock
    Canadian non-lawyer here. Federal Canadian lottery laws apply to all "promotional contest provisions of the Competition Act", regardless of the medium over which they are transmitted. Printed, radio, YouTube, doesn't matter. That being said, unless Mr Beast has operational offices in Canada, the Competition Act wouldn't apply even if Canadians entered his contests, as he's outside our jurisdiction.
  • @Carl6386
    Lmfaoo Devin calling all those lawyers assholes was hilarious.
  • @GuardianNamick
    I was not expecting the CaptainSparklez clip, but a good use of it to remind people "probably still not good to admit it on camera"
  • @Imightexist7
    One dollar allegations VS. Million dollar allegations
  • @kstricl
    I work at a print shop that regularly creates raffle tickets. I have the relevant requirements for raffle tickets bookmarked on our local government website and compare every requested design against it to make sure it complies. If anything is wrong, I inform the customer - in writing - to have them help us correct the missing information. CYA people.

    "Sir, a second drama video has hit the YouTuber." "Is it bad?" "No, it's worse."
  • @hedgie_doll2314
    "This raccoon is a paid actor" gets me every time and I still cannot tell if it is a joke
  • @lucas182512
    25:10 "I personally never met a lawyer from Quinn who wasn't a huge asshole" 🀣
  • @notLime_
    I'm pretty sure when DogPack talks about rigging, it's to make a point against Jimmy claiming the videos are never faked. It's less about legality and more about authenticity and honesty.
  • @thebfbs8746
    The latest video from Dogpack was pretty disturbing even if Jimmy didn’t break any laws. Jimmy, even if not a criminal, seems to not be a great person at all behind the scenes. Whilst Dogpack himself states that Jimmy most likely wasn’t breaking the Geneva Convention, he did something similar and it was kinda borderline. Not to mention it seems like he hired and hid a PDF file who committed their crime against someone who was 11 or younger at the time. Not to mention the Ava Chris Tyson and the Shadman stuff. Giving the nickname β€œDelaware” to a guy who is banned from their as a joke isn’t funny by any means, and in that video, you can hear Jimmy call him Delaware, so it’s likely that he knew. I honestly can’t wait for his response. It’ll be interesting that’s for sure.
  • @djdeemarz
    The fact that you have Pink Guy in the dead town of old YouTube had me shook. I miss old YouTube.
  • @LillyP-xs5qe
    "i have a life" that brave talk for a lawyer, i can assure you my brother in law who is a lawyer don't have much of a life.
  • @JongiB96
    I see a lot of comments here nearly celebrating this video with a "Hurrah! Mr. Beast did nothing wrong!" You have to understand that there is a difference between what is ethically/morally correct, and what is legally allowed. LegalEagle is a lawyer, and he inspected this controversy through the lens of law. That does not excuse Mr. Beast from any of the wrongdoings mentioned in the several videos by other youtubers highlighting this issue. If you think simply being legally correct makes you a good person, then you might need to step back, grow up, and parse through this entire controversy at a later time.
