Streamer Blackmails Online Casino for 170 Bitcoins

Professional Counter-Strike player and well-known Twitch streamer Moe "m0E" Assad entered a promotional partnership with CSGO Diamonds some time ago. However, by mid-June, the relationship had deteriorated, leading both parties to take to Twitter to accuse each other of misconduct.

Assad accused CSGO Diamonds of providing him with confidential information in advance, which allowed him to win games of chance in a predictable manner during his live Twitch streams. This fraudulent scheme continued for an extended period until Assad devised a plan to extort money from the site’s owner by threatening to expose the scam.

The owner initially complied, paying Assad 170 Bitcoins. However, when Assad demanded additional payments, the owner refused. In response, Assad publicly revealed the rigging operation, sparking one of the largest scandals in the history of CSGO gambling.

Despite initially feeling that this was unethical, Assad publicly admitted that he went along with the scheme. Later, when a dispute between him and the gambling site's owner escalated, CSGO Diamonds claimed that Assad threatened to reveal the scheme. This alleged threat prompted CSGO Diamonds to admit their wrongdoing publicly and implicate Assad.

In a series of tweets, CSGO Diamonds presented their side of the story, acknowledging that revealing game outcomes to Assad was "a bad decision." They emphasized that Assad's willing participation in the scam was undeniable.
