I got scammed out of $1.25 million

The scam happened in a chat group with Youtube superstars MrBeast and Mark Rober, billionaires Tobi Lutke and Ed Craven, and streamer superstar Adin Ross.

I feel so stupid, and so ashamed.

At the same time it feels important to share my story. You can see a see a detailed video or read the full article here.

MrBeast, the world’s largest Youtube with over 400 million subscribers, has publicly announced a reward of $100 000 for anyone with information that leads to an arrest.

Now I turn to the internet and release all the information publicly.

Below you’ll find all chat logs, all phone numbers, and all crypto transactions.

The scammers live of our shame.
There is so much shame connected to being cheated. The shame keeps us quiet – and in the silence the scammers thrive.

The more people that read about this, the harder it is for scammers to succeed.

I’m asking you, please, write about this. Share this story.

And if you write about this, please mention the reward and link back to this page with the evidence.

Together we can make justice, and together we can protect each other.

If you want to ask me questions, you can reach me on [email protected].

About me

My name is Erik Bergman. I’m a gambling philanthropist.

I’ve been in the gambling industry since I was 16 and fell in love with online poker.

In contrast to that, I’m raised in a family where charity was always important. One of my core values is helping others.

This unusual combination has led me to create Great.com. On online casino guide with demo slots, that donates all of profits to charity.

So far in my life I’ve donated $6.2 million dollars to various charities.
