Does xQc believe everything that happened to Logan Paul?
The 26-year-old streamer, xQc, indeed believes that the older Paul brother got duped. However, suspicion definitely arises because of the reactions, and on some occasions, a lot of people agree, they didn’t seem natural at all.
That said, it is not exactly super unbelievable that a fraudulent box made its way and landed in the YouTuber’s hands. Pokemon trading cards have their own fair share of prestige, and scammers use this opportunity to make thousands of dollars at the expense of unwary collectors.
