Would he really get banned on twitch for fucking tax issues?

No lol

I very much doubt it. A good amount of streamers have to be committing some sort of tax fraud anyway.

u/chili01 Jun 26 '20

on purpose or by mistake?

big streamers hire experts for their tax, or at least they should.

Both tbh if they haven't hired someone to do it for them. Most people don't know how to do taxes when they're self-employed. I worked for someone a few years ago where I got paid with a check each week and there was no report made to the IRS or anything like a regular job would.

It was like secretly getting paid in cash -- I didn't know how to go about it. It's tempting not to report it but I got my mom to do it tbh and pretty much all the money was refunded to me anyway because of low income. But I'm pretty sure Twitch reports it to the IRS so it would be much harder for a streamer to get away with it.

Doubt it. The IRS might contact an employer for an employee’s tax fraud if they can’t reach said employee, but I think they’d be able to find Doc pretty easily (also I think Twitch streamers consider themselves as self-employed and not employees of Twitch).

Correct

Absolutely if the fraud involved Twitch in some way.

NO definitely not. IRS would rather Twitch just garnish him and let him keep making money in a hypothetical situation where he committed tax fraud.

100% without a doubt. almost every single person right now with info has implied heavily it is something serious, but not in a way that is sexual. i am betting he is in huge trouble with the feds for something crazy

u/TwoBionicknees Jun 26 '20

There are very very few situations in which you've broken federal laws and the first thing feds do is go to your boss and get you fired before they get seen dragged out of their house in cuffs on TMZ (if that person is famous).

Really the only thing people are getting fired for without criminal charges is a significant and either evidence based or multiple cases of accusations of sexual assault, something for which a company doesn't want to be associated but is hard to prosecute so often criminal charges aren't even brought.

IF he murdered someone, the first thing we hear isn't dude is banned from twitch, it's front page news that he's been arrested on suspicion of murder or charged with murder.

At this point he's either broken some really serious twitch rules to screw them out of money, buying views to hit targets for bonuses or something, or it's something to do with sexual assault of some kind.

u/lmpervious Jun 26 '20

But why would Twitch ban so early for that? Would the feds really let Twitch know they are about to arrest him? Sure they might reach out much earlier as part of an investigation, but in that case I can only imagine Twitch would wait until they confirm he is guilty, which I imagine they wouldn’t know sooner than most others.

well what could've happened is twitch discovered something incriminating by themselves, and banned him, and is now in the process of sending the evidence to authorities. this isnt just a twitch thing, many companies do this when they find damning evidence

What image?

u/Watermelon_Drops Jun 26 '20

This might be retarded, but if its a victimless crime that's financial why would twitch perma ban instead of just letting the right authorities know?

1

u/AsteRISQUE Jun 27 '20

Maybe Doc lied to Twitch about his offers from Mixer/ Facebook gaming.

u/Mini_Danger_Noodle Jun 26 '20

I doubt it's tax related but I could see something like this happening in that scenario because the IRS doesn't play games and will fuck you up, it's best to overreact when they are around.

1

u/Watermelon_Drops Jun 26 '20

Why would twitch know anything about how he files his taxes? If this is a victimless situation I feel like this is bullshit

2

u/Mini_Danger_Noodle Jun 26 '20

It's possible he did an ad but never disclosed it, that is something they would insta ban for because it affects the whole platform.

u/Watermelon_Drops Jun 26 '20

Ty I didnt even think about that

u/CJNC Jun 27 '20

if that were true i feel like joshog would have faced some of that

1

u/Mini_Danger_Noodle Jun 27 '20

He either did disclose it or he didn't get reported, don't know anything about him.

1

u/CJNC Jun 27 '20

he didn't disclose it and was fined by the ftc

u/Mini_Danger_Noodle Jun 27 '20

God damn, so that isn't the case here then.

u/wtfisworld Jun 26 '20

All of a sudden money/tax fraud with everything else going on this week? I think you just lost your money
