For the Twitch streamer Thomas “Sodapoppin” Morris, a moderator in the past allegedly stole from the content creator in a nasty way. Sodapoppin shared the story during the stream.
Who is it about? It is about the streamer Sodapoppin, who is one of the biggest streamers in the international Twitch bubble with over 9 million followers on the platform. He founded the hardcore WoW guild OnlyFangs, which gained significant popularity.
Several years ago, Sodapoppin had a moderator named Matthew, whom he helped. Matthew supposedly needed a place to sleep because his parents had thrown him out. Sodapoppin says he took Matthew in.
Alleged $30,000 Donation Raises Questions
What happened next? The Twitch streamer continues, stating that he not only paid for Matthew’s flight and taxi to his house, but also gave him an older computer to work on. In total, Matthew supposedly lived with Sodapoppin for a month. During this time, he also started streaming, according to Sodapoppin.
One day, Matthew allegedly received a donation of $30,000 in his Twitch stream. A very high amount for a donation via Twitch, especially since Matthew was said to have around 50 viewers.
Matthew supposedly wanted to celebrate the donation with Sodapoppin and his colleagues, which is why he invited everyone out to eat.
How was Sodapoppin stolen from? However, Sodapoppin’s brother supposedly found discrepancies in the PayPal expenditures. In online shops for skins from Counter-Strike, Sodapoppin allegedly spent several thousand dollars through his PayPal.
Sodapoppin himself, however, never made these expenditures. Further puzzling: on such websites, users need to provide an identification document to purchase skins. It doesn’t work without it.
Sodapoppin believes Matthew had the login data of Sodapoppin’s PayPal since it was said to have been stored on the older computer Matthew worked on. An identification document is said to have been stolen by Matthew from Sodapoppin’s room. Thus, the former mod was able to buy skins.
Matthew then resold the skins and “donated” the money to himself through the Twitch stream.
Sodapoppin is actually known for running the American WoW hardcore guild OnlyFangs. German Twitch streamers now want to follow the example from the USA with their own guild, and Sodapoppin has already commented on their plans: German streamers plan a WoW event on Twitch, receiving a message from the example set in the USA
