A team of on-chain investigators claims that MrBeast and his YouTube influencer network made millions of dollars from dubious cryptocurrency transactions. 

MrBeast, whose real name is James Stephen “Jimmy” Donaldson, has 320 million YouTube subscribers, making him one of the most well-known social media personalities in the world. His extensive platform has been used as a marketing avenue for ambitious and occasionally controversial cryptocurrency ventures. 

MrBeast allegedly used his power to profit from insider trading, according to experts from advice business Loock.io and blockchain researchers like SomaXBT, who earlier accused Donaldson of earning $10 million from low-cap coins.
