Ludwig is one of YouTube’s most popular streamers and has a lot of responsibility for others. With so much turmoil on Twitch in the previous month, Ludwig, who is a very close friend of MrBeast, recently stated that he needed to take safeguards for others so that they didn’t get duped by a “person.”

Ludwig revealed he was scammed out of $100,000 by a Twitch gambler because he was trustworthy. And it compelled him to engage a private investigator to keep an eye out for them so they don’t defraud others, too. But they did, tragically.

Ludwig shares that he was once scammed of $100,000

In his recent interview with Anthony Padilla, YouTube streamer Ludwig told the story of getting scammed because of his trusting nature, and how he had to play the parent for a certain streamer so that they don’t do anything wrong again.

“I think I give the benefit of the doubt and I get scammed very easily. In that story the person who scammed me, it kind of ended where I kept an eye on them…I didn’t press charges [until] I found out they scammed again.” To which Anthony Padilla asked Ludwig, “Does that make you want to press charges now?” To which Ludwig replied, “Here’s why I’m so good at getting scammed. No.”

Ludwig further explained, “Short story, just gave me a hundred thousand dollars. They moved to Texas to try to get a regular job… they fell back into the cycle of gambling because they’re an addict. They roped in like three people at a bowling alley they worked at. And then because the video [How I Got Scammed and Lost $100,000] was so popular the people who worked at that bowling alley hit me up…then the private investigator looked into it and then I got him to pay back all the people before it became a problem.”

A soft corner in the heart, just like MrBeast

Ludwig who said that he felt like a “parent” when he stopped that person from scamming, showcased the soft side of him, just like MrBeast. Jimmy Donaldson is widely known for his charitable works and giveaways, and a person like him will be prone to do good deeds. It can also be said that the streaming community, although goes through a lot, still has a way to come around things and make things work out for each other.
