King Pokemon and Steve Aoki are Committing Charity Fraud & Tax Evasion
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 май 2024
- In this video I examine the Aoki Foundation's tax records and investigate the criminal activity of Gary King Pokemon and Steve Aoki. Charity fraud, auction fraud, tax evasion, mail fraud, smuggling stolen goods, and theft are all crimes, that Gary Haase has encouraged and committed.
Steve Aoki, Gary Haase and Michael Waddell have been manipulating the prices of collectibles using the Aoki foundation and their company Metazoo Games LLC. Gary Haase also co-founded a grading company called AGS Robograding because PSA was no longer handing him 10s when grading his cards, thus hurting his profit margins for the cards that he sells on ebay, instagram and efour.

Well that's a sentence I never thought I would hear 😂😂😂
I was specifically looking for a video dealing with all the metazoo fraud, and stumbled upon this. This video needs to be spread as much as possible, the scamming and fraud on display is unmatched.
I massively respect the effort you put into these videos, the Pokemon community desperately needs more voices like yours.
Why only 10k views the whole Pokemon community needs to here this
Man, the dumbest Pokemon videos have 100,000s of views and this only has 2k. Great work. Crazy that the algorithm isn't feeding it.

This is crazy! I used to think of him as the best Pokémon collector ever! Thank you so much for all of the info. Very disappointing that he acts like this :(
I knew metazoo smelled bad.... this video confirms it. I surely would not want my 9 year old playing with cards that recommend you remove your pants... terrible and innapropriate.
Using charity funds is one of the lowest thing I've ever heard
Love how Gary legit says he cares about children's health..but forced his son to watch a Pokémon episode that he had a medical episode because of
A huge thank you from me for putting this together. I've been trying to open people's eyes to how fraudulent the Aoki Foundation appears to be since late 2019, but sadly a lot of people are still donating money to the foundation. Until the Aoki Foundation make their financial information publicly transparent (which is incredibly commonplace in the charity world) everyone should avoid sending any money their way. There are plenty of very successful and very impactful autism charities around the world which have full transparency - if you're reading this and want to give money to charity, please do some due diligence beforehand to determine how much of your money gets put to use.
That was great, can’t say I have ever watched a RUclips video that long, that event in Vegas was so cringe. My lord
This is quality investigative journalism! You deserve a hefty award for your great work
Thank you, and I'm sorry that it took me longer than usual to get this video out. Figuring out what everyone was saying when Gary got caught stealing cards was the hardest part.
I always felt like the massive boom in Pokemon recently was astroturfed by the big names. All the same people who make a living off of investing and kept saying its good for the hobby that cards are quickly becoming too expensive for casual collectors
Yeah it has kaboomed for almost all cards that came out before 2005/2006 maybe even like 2009 especially the graded cards there’s no way little guys like me will ever be able to snag that psa 10 charizard but hey we can buy the v max for $600 lol I also noticed for the new gen there’s a few cards that are alot of $ like the charizard n pikachus v max a few others I’m missing but the other cards in the set some are under a dollar
He’s acts like a 20 year old newly millionaire. The good thing is that he cannot keep his mouth shut.
so happy to see someone take the time out to make this video for the people the needed it
Thank you, Steve and Gary deserve to be in prison for what they've done.
"So Thuan starts slippin' in her story, and Gary looks like he's about to have an aneurysm..."
^^^^^^^^One of the funniest things I've ever heard 🤣
A full year it took for this video to hit my recomended, yt is wild man, i hope this takes off. Ever since karl jobsts video about the video game market i suspected something similar was happening with cards. Absolutely heartbreaking
Gary’s downfall will be his big mouth. Also funny how all big Pokémon tubers have a charity now.
It's also how Bill Mastro got caught, but the influx in "charity efforts" is not by coincidence.
Well done on this video. Everyone needs to see this!
I'm a few months late to getting to your videos, but I can't thank you enough for shedding light on a side of a hobby we all need to see. Thank you and keep it up fella - we appreciate you.
Another huge scammer is ROYALTY GAMING POKEMON. You should research them and see how this rip and ship shop is ripping people off.
That was amazing. Didn’t think I would get through the whole 2:19:49 but I couldn’t stop watching. Great work, I hope all the truth comes to light
Wow... you are spot on about everything 29.30mins into this video.... I was watching this break live on dumbmoney ... I cant believe Gary said this on a HOT MIC about trying and switch people over from Pokémon into METAZOO because that's" there market" what CROCKS! There Lies go DEEP and as a true Pokémon fan I am appalled by there actions into this BUBBLE!
So well put together mate appreciate the time & effort... cheers from Australia
What great evidence, commentary and editing you have done to create this video. I watched all of it, and it was very well organized. It's disgusting what people will do for money, and it's disgusting they have to tarnish a childhood favorite series.
Materials are nothing, we should instead stride to be prideful in our helpful and loving actions, not our greed and deceit. I really hope someday the karma of "King Pokemon"''s actions catch up to him. --The Elf "You sit on a throne of lies" snip had me dying laughing btw.
Has there been any investigations into the Aokia Foundation? He’s teamed up CGC and I wonder if they’re doing the same thing? I have been trying to find more dirt on Aokia. So many people praise him in the collectors world.
I really want to put a stake in this foundation. I’m sick of the grifters and egomaniacs
The fact the people in question all live in Las Vegas, the gambling capital of the world, says it all, those folk mentioned and the others connected then and now have vice gambling mentalities, that love lots of it, and they will do anything to get flush with funds to for fill the greed they desire with deception & lies implemented around them to succeed the cheapest cheating, easy way possible. The sins they thrive off, (which is a powerful one) to gain wealth is the most sinister thought process a human being could ever do which ends up leading them to not have a real sense of reality & care until questioned & prosecuted or whilst in the act but that Gary dude will know every trick in the book because he has worked in & ran casino's.
These videos are excellent!!! Subscribed. I hope this channel blows up.
Thank you 🙏
Why isnt this getting more attention?
I really enjoyed your perspective in this video and I think it's worth the watch for anyone who is serious about Pokemon cards as a hobby and investment. I think hard pill to swallow on this is how much influence Gary has on the hobby and I don't see that changing anytime soon. I think the only way that you will see that happen is if he does get into legal trouble or if his association with the tcg causes it to lose value. We'll see what happens.
So slow to watch this I waited so long as you know i told you long ago I stopped contact with him and didn’t end up doing a collab / donation fundraiser with him .
Videos like this are why I second guessed my approach .
I think you made the right choice good sir. The fact that Steve has been lying about where the funds are going since day one, the Aoki Foundation is irredeemable at this point.
@@PokemonOverflow I lost friendships I think through it because my friends set me up with him but towards the end I have a partner with autism and I didn’t trust it at all ……….
Insanely good video, I'm sad more people didn't pick up on this becasue it could have been massive
Thank you! 🙏 Eventually the right people will see it and hopefully take legal action against them.
43:40 yoo hook me up with the details, I wanna be part of this bust and make a positive change for ptcg, I see the forms but don't really know the info of Gary to fill out, can you make a tutorial on how to fill both forms 3949-A
& 211 lol?
Agreed, hey @PokemonOverflow think you can make this happen? I'm not from the US but want to help stop this bullshit any way I can too.
all of these people who essentially promote gambling by opening packs and then using the 'mental health' shit...ugh
I can’t believe this has less then 6k views. More people in the hobby need to watch this.
Slowbro's and Hoe-Oh's, we got 'em... Metazoo has been neutralized 😎
That comedian was horrific it’s crazy an then dude beat boxing , that’s sad I’m glad u exploited that event what a s*it show
Watched all the way through! Incredible video! Honestly, I have always kinda liked Gary. He's definitely always seemed super creepy and I wouldn't let my kids around him or anything, but Pokemon wise I just kinda thought he was a goofball. Probably a little sketchy, sure, but NOTHING like what you opened my eyes to. Completely changed my viewpoint on Gary, and Steve as well. Some of the stuff you showed the Aoki foundation doing was appalling. I'm curious to your thoughts on if there was any involvement of some of the Pokemon RUclipsrs in this video, specifically Leonhart and PokemonRadar, in any wrong doings? I don't at all feel it was implied, but I'm genuinely curious, as I watch these two often and Radar is actually a friend of a friend of mine. The only reason I ask is because, again, I was blown away by this video and it got me thinking maybe this whole hobby is sketchier than I thought. Anyways, great video dude! Peace
Just watched all the way through AGAIN... The MetaZoo stuff was on some crystal ball ish lol
This video is well done. Great work
Thank you, it was a lot of fun going through the Aoki Foundation's tax returns and showing that they have been lying about where donations are going.
3:55 I'm literally 25, and I'd never consider recording a "fun video" like logan did... Not even 5, or 10, or 15 years ago
Great run down video of everything! If you have the chance, I’d like to talk to you about some this stuff since I might be doing an interview with Gary about this to address a lot of this and/or making a video about some of these points!
The tactics he employs to deflect and worm his way out of controversy reminds me of a former president lol. It's pretty cringe how we have many of these weak influencers in the Pokemon community always simping for Gary, knowing full well hes slimey af.
There's a lot I could say, but I have to say that "Pokemon Saves the World" was a real shitshow (pardon my French) that's cheesier than a deli and more seedy than a farm field.
Dang, well said!!
Thank you for exposing the Pokemon saves the world shit man i watched the whole 2 hours you are the fucking man!
18:28 you need to do a video on how the youtubers TCa gaming , smpratt , and gem mint Pokémon are ripping off kids . These people have been scalping peoples Pokémon cards for 30 years + . Then they do videos on how they have all these nice expensive cards...... when in reality , they scammed some kid for his best Pokémon cards... it’s despicable and they need to be called out on this .
How on earth are they scamming children?
they all hang out with the Guru, haha, crooks all hang out
you are the greatest pokemon sleuth known to mankind, amazing stuff. the IRS should hire u
Thanks for sharing
Great video well done
Damn didn’t know all this!! Crazy .. Hard to be Woke! Great Video
How does this video not have 10 million views
Fantastic, this should have more views!
2 hours holy shit
wow glad i had a day off
I just think it's funny how the guy commented on how you should delete your channel and how you are a bad guy by showing evidence deletes his comment before I got to respond to him haha
This deserves more views. Well done my dude 🤘🏽
You and Rattle Pokémon need to start a Pokémon investigation channel
This all doesn’t end well….
youre the best 👍 thanks for making these vids
Anytime, I enjoy exposing con artists like them.
Hilarious to see the Pokémon saves the world footage, especially now with the added context of how they shipped smpratte’s cards
Man I do believe you about MetaZoo pump and dumps. Went to Dr. Applesauce yt video and commented on why MetaZoo was a pump and dump and he legit deleted my comment. In the video he was trying to promote MetaZoo even though the video was just determining fakes. was really upset he’s trying to cover it up. Kinda like him but starting to think some influencers are in on it. Also got the proof of you need more ammo for the community.
Man why does this quality video only have 6k views 😔
3 days later .. done watching the video
I agree
In the grand scheme of things an them trying to hype it up like that was bs an trash but I actually liked the concept an the artwork but , def at least 13 an up tho lol at least like 10
people need to see this
Great investigative work. Although I do believe tax mitigation is completely legal as opposed to tax evasion you definitely have shed light on some sketchy practices that may prove more than mitigation is going on. It Is your analysis of the live pokemon pulls that really takes the cake because that sh is bull... even Steve's looking at gary like wtff did you do ... then some more real sus . Real sus
Holy cow the stolen ship cards getting moved by his wife... you're onto something.
@@thepokemonprofit4507 Did you catch what Thuan said at 2:12:47
@@PokemonOverflow "he's going to have an aneurysm 😆" yes! she makes an account and doesn't sell anything... what was she going to sell? He probably had aneurysm when he saw she put the items up on her account
So one of the reasons why Gary uses multiple accounts, is to hide his earnings from the IRS. Gary was having Thuan sell things on eBay for him. This is why she told him this is not for me, and then the inventory was placed in their storage units.
Really great video. I am really hopeful now that they’re being really serious about squeezing tax money out this coming season that he might be caught. He beyond deserves it at this point.
Good video so far 👀. But the Fresno nightcrawlers you can wear shorts and your "technically" not wearing pants 1:51:39
The card clearly states that it can not be used if you’re wearing pants and does not provide options or technical details. The creator of Metapoo has stated that his game is appropriate for children as young as 8.
@@PokemonOverflow I understand but shorts are not technically pants. That's the loophole but I see where your going w that text.
@@gabrielhecht5682 seems like it’s just a way to get kids in there underwear.. no loop hole rly lol. If they’re wearing shorts those are taken off also cuz that’s considered pants
Great video. This guy is 100% scummy and plenty to call him out on, but the tax stuff I can careless. This country is overtaxed
MetaZoo is just an NFT scam
Great content 👍👍👍👍💯👍👍👍👍💯 very true
Thank you kindly, and thanks for watching!!
Dude holy shit
“Giraffes and Pole-dancers”
*I’m Sorry What*
So I watched the fake sealed pokemon box opened a few weeks ago at 14.20 does that not look exactly like the crinkled box that was first pulled out of that sealed case they opened, he even asked what was wrong with the box that it shouldn't be bent or crinkled like that and sure enough gi Joe cards, I don't know maybe not but it makes me think that whole think was fake specifically with both Logan and Gary in the same room, two completely discredited idiots but somehow has still has a fan base, just wow
58:17 LMAO
😧
Oh jeez ...the layers...Steve u in this?..wut u accidently poke yoself with yo dim mak...? Ya better run from this guy.
Lock em up 🔒 💀👮♀️
Please can anyone post this on E4😂
Metazoo cards are so cheesy
You are the greatest man
My dog does help my depression sob
Yeah I saw this video even did the report to the IRS and yet there still making money.
i bought 3 2nd edition cryptid nation boxes to hope to sell them one day to some poor sap who doesnt even know who he is pysically
Hmmm how’s that going
@@craig89lx50 not good because it's dog doodoo
Why Gary's son look like jonah hill 😂
High pitch voice editing is way too annoying for me, could not finish the video once that started.
The high pitch is from having to speed up the footage. Thank you for your time.
@@PokemonOverflow video was very informative and professionally put together, high pitched voice was just a critique on my part. Appreciate the content
Wish this was talked about more although the name suits him since hes a tyrant. I HATE investors I can't afford my hobbie something I love and cherish I cant afford since I cant pay 200-300 dollars a pack for ex era
S***BAGGG
An elderly, morbidly obese man spends all his time on a children's hobby
He should have a seat
he’s always sitting though
Umm just so you understand , this would provide Gary with 0 protection during a audit and would be a simple thing to find lol … if that’s his plan for avoiding taxes it’s not a good plan.. when you sign up under FF they don’t send a forum to the government showing business income. But a 30 second audit would reveale all this, it’s not really scheme. He’s just not reporting the income , no different than taking cash and not reporting the income.
All I hear is crying.
The aoki foundation has been lying about where the money has been going since day one and Gariatric Haase is an abusive, racist crook. You should go easy on the copium, too much of it will destroy your brain.
i bet ur fun at parties lmfao
Do u think that Gary is? Or are you even Steven? Lol
Why tf did you make this 2hrs long? You should of split it into separate videos I mean it seems interesting to watch but not going to sit for that long
Well.. that's more of a loss for you.. i guess
Yeah I binged it. Couldn’t put it down. Really made me sick to my stomach to think about how these people claim “community blah blah blah” so much fraud
Shit you must have never seen a movie then eh? Fuckin fruit fly attention span.
While i do believe Gary is a scumbag, i think you have a wild bias against AGS because he was a main investor. The people who created the technology has nothing to do with Gary at all and based off how you described the company, again, sounds like you just have a lot of distain for Gary (i don’t like the guy either) and just bundling the two together.
AGS did not “create” the technology they use, nor is it unbiased. The company also sold counterfeit medical supplies to hospitals and use crypto scams to wash dirty funds. I proved it in my latest video on them, which I’m guessing that’s why you’re here.
Metazoo followers I hope you guys didn't put all your eggs in one basket 🧺
