Twitch streamer Asmongold, real name Zack, has broken his silence on the controversy surrounding an alleged charity fraud involving Softgiving (now Brandfluence) and prominent internet personalities, including himself. The esports journalist Jacob Wolf initially reported that Softgiving had quietly collected 42% of donations from Twitch streamers’ charity livestreams over a two-year period.
Asmongold Breaks Silence on Alleged Charity Fraud
During a livestream on January 7, 2024, Asmongold revealed that he couldn’t discuss the matter previously due to an ongoing lawsuit. He acknowledged the surprise, stating, “Big f**king surprise! I haven’t talked about the big thing that there’s a lawsuit about.” The streamer from Austin, Texas, assured his audience that he would address the situation once the legal proceedings concluded, saying, “After it’s over, I will have something to say.”

Asmongold’s Stance on Addressing Controversies
Asmongold delved further into his decision not to discuss Softgiving’s alleged charity fraud earlier, explaining that he usually avoids responding to random accusations on platforms like Twitter or Reddit. However, when it comes to public figures making claims, he believes they should be held accountable for their statements. He emphasized, “I will address something that somebody says who has a public platform because they have to take accountability for being morons.”
The co-founder of One True King (OTK) expressed his indifference towards people expressing anger over the situation, likening it to a dog barking as he drives down the street. He made it clear that such reactions didn’t matter to him because those individuals lacked accountability.
Fan Reactions to Asmongold’s Revelation
As news of Asmongold’s revelation spread, the r/LivestreamFail subreddit became a hub for discussions. Fans shared their opinions, with one user noting how furious Asmongold appeared that the controversy had become public. Others praised his nonchalant attitude, highlighting that he seemed unfazed by the unfulfilled donation goals from the charity stream.
The community speculated on reasons behind Asmongold’s frustration, with some believing it stemmed from the increasing attention on the controversy. Additionally, there were discussions about why certain figures, like Charlie “MoistCr1TiKaL,” associated with OTK, had not addressed the situation publicly.
As the lawsuit unfolds, the Twitch community awaits further developments and any future statements from Asmongold and other implicated personalities.
