I don't believe in "scandal speculation", I think it's wrong and weird, but it was so obvious that Mr. Beast had shady dealings going on, the evidence was literally just the basic concept of his content - if he actually meant well, he either wouldn't have the money to do all these crazy stunts because he'd just throw it all at a bunch of charities at once, or would just buy a yacht and mind his own business. At most his stunts would just be direct camera videos with no editing to ensure as little money is wasted on non-charity affairs as possible. He's like the most plainly obvious 2010s kids movie twist villain. Evil Richard Ayoade guinea pig from The Bad Guys.
