The guy was involved in more than 5 pump-and-dump crypto scams. this is just one moremore. there were NFT scams also. There are indications and reports he made hundreds of millions of dollars scamming. This is a serious thing. Hype up via Twitter and than dump - that's his MO. I don't wanna hear WP:DUE and similar nonsense, as some people here are obviously redacting fanboys - that's factual looking at the history of the talk page and article. You don't find yourself in the middle of a crypto scam as you would in a bakery and than just coincidentally tens of millions of dollars heavier. Why isn't he charged then, you ask. The same reason Trump isn't charged for insider trading. It's ridiculous this is nowhere in the article. Who is protecting his image?~2026-36795-82 (talk) 03:01, 25 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Change Chandler Hallow's hyperlink to none. Currently redirects to MrBeast, which is incorrect. NotDima (talk) 18:15, 25 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Change from "The pair got married on Richard Branson's private island in the British Virgin Islands." To "The pair got married on Richard Branson's private island in Necker Island, British Virgin Islands." The place is a private island located in Nicker Island.

Comment: I will note here that we do have a relevant article that could be linked to: Necker Island (British Virgin Islands). It is possible that some alternative like "The pair got married at Richard Branson's private island called Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands" or "The pair got married on Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands, owned by entrepreneur Richard Branson" would be acceptable. --Super Goku V (talk) 05:48, 28 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
