MrBeast Investigation INTRODUCTION
MrBeast, one of the most popular YouTubers with over 320 million subscribers across his main and side channels, has recently faced public scrutiny over various controversies. Allegations have emerged, including claims of faked videos, running illegal lotteries and employees with questionable track records. In addition, MrBeast's involvement in cryptocurrency has come under fire, with YouTubers like Rosana Pansino and DogPacks404 touching on the subject. However, their investigations only skimmed the surface of MrBeast’s crypto activities.

Their findings suggest a long history of insider trading, misleading investors, and using his influence to promote tokens, only to later dump them on the market. This document delves into the various tokens associated with these allegations and the insider trading claims, starting with identifying the wallets tied to MrBeast.
