What Is MrBeast Suffering From? – An Investigation Reveals a $23 Million Cryptocurrency Fraud

A recent in-depth investigation by blockchain analysts has uncovered a complex network involved in cryptocurrency activities linked to MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson), the most popular YouTube content creator with over 320 million subscribers. The findings suggest that MrBeast’s “illness” is not physical health, but rather the way he exploits his enormous influence to carry out opaque cryptocurrency transactions, earning tens of millions of dollars from trusting investors.

A Trading Network Valued at $23 Million

Analysts from consulting firm Loock.io, along with experts like SomaXBT, discovered an intricate mechanism for insider trading. By tracking over 50 cryptocurrency wallets connected to MrBeast, they identified a recurring pattern: the famous YouTuber would buy low-value tokens, promote them to his massive follower base, then quickly sell off before prices plummeted.

These allegations are not limited to MrBeast. Other YouTubers such as Rosana Pansino and DogPacks404 have publicly criticized these actions, while further analysis continues to reveal connections to other figures like KSI, who is believed to have accumulated around $10 million through similar tactics.

The report estimates that MrBeast has earned a total of over $23 million from various cryptocurrency projects:

• SUPER (SuperFarm/SuperVerse): $11.45 million from staking profits
• ERN: $4.65 million
• PMON: $1.72 million
• STAK: $1.31 million
• AIOZ: $1 million
• Other projects: Totaling $3.87 million

More detailed activity is revealed in the case of the ERN token. According to the investigation, MrBeast received a massive batch of tokens from the pre-sale round, then accumulated additional tokens. He transferred about half of his holdings to wallet 0x2eB7 and the rest to 0x9b00. Both wallets quickly dumped their holdings, netting $1.83 million. At the same time, MrBeast also sold his tokens directly on the market, earning $2.97 million during this process.

SuperVerse – “A Big Deal” From $100,000 to $7.5 Million

One of the clearest examples is SuperVerse (formerly SuperFarm). Data shows MrBeast invested approximately $100,000 into the project, promoted the SUPER token (currently trading at $0.12 according to recent data) to his followers, then withdrew about $7.5 million — a 75-fold return on his initial investment.

Although many promotional posts related to SuperVerse have been deleted from social media, MrBeast continues to follow the project’s official account. This raises serious questions about transparency and legal compliance in influencer-led promotional campaigns. Instead of disclosing his personal relationship with the project, he exploits his follower base to drive up the price, all while concealing his own position.

Not only MrBeast, but a vast network of other content creators—including names like KSI—is believed to have engaged in similar activities. Collectively, this network is estimated to have made around $10 million from promoting and subsequently selling tokens to retail investors.

Symptoms of a Modern-Day Illness

MrBeast’s “illness”—as analysts define it—is not physical but ethical. It’s the ability to leverage personal influence to execute insider trades, hide involvement, and ultimately harm those who trust him. Investigations show that this form of “investor deception” is not an isolated case but a widespread pattern within the YouTube creator community.

Analysts also advise MrBeast to stop using Metamask swap due to its 0.87% fee and outdated mechanism. Instead, they recommend using Defillama swap, while most experienced users have already switched to Rabby wallets for more efficient management of their crypto assets.

These findings are not just a scandal involving an individual but serve as a warning about the dangers of unchecked influence in the crypto market. What is MrBeast “sick” with? It’s the abuse of power and a lack of responsibility toward his followers.
