A Twitch.tv troll learns what karma means and loses over 50,000 dollars in this lesson!
On the streaming platform Twitch.tv, it is common for streamers to receive donations from their fans. However, when donation amounts appear in the range of 1,000 dollars to 5,000 dollars, that is something special. As a “joke”, a user named iNexus_Ninja wanted to send high amounts of money to various streamers and have them refunded via PayPal after one month. The streamers were supposed to be overjoyed on camera and then fall into deep sorrow a month later. That was the plan.to annoy.
But PayPal did not play along with this game.
The Twitch streamers were stunned
When one receives such a high donation, the first thing to do is check their PayPal account to see if the numbers they saw are really correct. If that is the case, then the joy is of course particularly great. iNexus_Ninja caused a lot of joy among various streamers by donating high sums of money to them live during the stream via PayPal.
The troll’s plan was to dispute the payments with PayPal after about 30 days and have the money refunded. When a refund request is made, PayPal checks the case and looks for a reason for a refund. The most common reasons for a refund are: Stolen credit cards or non-received goods. In this case, the staff at PayPal apparently found no argument for a refund and literally threw a wrench into the troll’s plans.
Whether iNexus_Ninja has learned a lesson for life from this is uncertain, as he often shows on his Twitter profile how much money he has and what he spends it on. Nevertheless, a loss of 50,000 dollars is hopefully uncomfortable for him as well.
However, the streamers can be happy, as they can keep all the money that iNexus_Ninja has donated to them and do not have to worry about a large negative balance showing up for this payment in a few weeks.
