First of all, I must apologize for
pulling the curtain back like this. Uh,
this is my speaking voice, and
unfortunately, this is a serious video,
so I'm not going to be talking through a
character you are all used to hearing.
For those that watch my stream, this is
not going to be a surprise that I sound
like this, but I recognize lots of you
probably think that I sound like this in
real life. Um, and that's just not the
case. So, now that that's cleared up,
let's get into this. Richard Little, CEO
of Influencer Stuff, also known as
Pikito, is in a lot of trouble with a
lot of content creators. In the coming
weeks, expect to hear much more about
this [ __ ] from other creators. But
for now, I need to tell you my story. In
this video, I am going to be detailing
the ways in which he lied to and stole
from myself and every single person who
bought a plushie. Due to the nature of
this video, I expect this video will
probably gain some kind of traction
outside of my core audience. So, for
context, last February I did my very
first merch campaign through influencer
stuff, and it was in short a disaster.
Uh, pause if you'd like to read the
details, but that's not what we're
talking about today. Now, if you
purchased a plushy and thought that it
was weird that it took nearly a year to
arrive, uh, you were right. You see, in
February, after we sold out all the
plushies, um, oh, my alarm's going off.
Sorry. uh which was just over 2,000
units. My manager took all the funds uh
not just the profit but also the money
that you paid for shipping. And
for the whole year he tried to hide this
from me in every way he could.
Consistently giving me fake updates and
[ __ ] explanations as to why people
weren't getting their plushies, why it
was taking so long, blah blah blah. This
went on for months. But then in mid
October 2022, he told me and had me
tweet a confirmation that all plushies
had been finally shipped out. Uh this
was a lie. He knew it was a lie and he
had me do it anyway. Uh in actuality,
the plushies had been where they always
were, which was just in the fulfillment
center awaiting to be shipped. I just
didn't know that yet. So, a month passes
and I'm still getting daily tweets and
emails like, "Where's my plushie? I paid
for my plushy. I haven't got my plushy."
And I'm upset for these people because
like what the [ __ ] is going on? How long
does it take to send a [ __ ] plushy?
So I get hold of the fulfillment center
direct, which by the way, up until this
point, Richard had been very careful to
not give me the contact information for.
He had done everything to hide that from
me. But once I got it and I called the
fulfillment center to give them a piece
of my mind, I learned the truth about
the whole campaign direct from the
source, which was that not just all that
stuff I showed earlier, which by the
way, I'm not getting into, but you know,
is pretty [ __ ] bad. But the reason
the plushies hadn't been shipped out is
because Richard still owed the
fulfillment center the shipping fees,
which if you'll remember was collected
at the point of sale. Everyone who
bought a plushy had already paid for
their shipping fees. So, like, what the
[ __ ] was going on? Now, a couple months
prior to this, Richard had fired every
single person working for him at
influencer stuff and told me it was
because they were all stealing from him.
The [ __ ] nerve of this guy, I swear. But
having spoken to those ex employees,
they all said they quit citing ethical
reasons and the fact that Richard owed
them a lot of money. I also knew that
several content creator friends of mine
were owed money by Richard. And then I
also remembered that years ago, before I
even started working with Richard, an
in-allife friend of mine warned me not
to work with him for this exact reason.
He had done a branding deal with Richard
and Richard didn't pay him for like a
year. In this moment, my brain had
already pieced together what had
happened. He had obviously taken the
funds and who knows what he's done with
them. But the reason he can't pay me and
the reason he can't pay anyone else is
because he simply doesn't have our money
anymore. So, I asked the ex employees if
the ethical reason they left was because
Richard was using content creator earned
funds on other things and they confirmed
this. Now, let's get back to the
fulfillment center. For the last 10
months, Richard has been slowly drip
feeding the fulfillment center small
payments so they can send out small
batches of plushies here and there. This
is the reason it took you so long to get
your plushies. If it did take you so
long to get your plushies, my manager
took your money in February that you
paid for and you paid for that shipping.
You paid it up front. I know you did.
And he's I I don't know what he's done
with it. I just don't know what he's
done with it. All I do know is that he
doesn't have it anymore. So, he was
having to somehow raise his own money to
pay for the shipping. I actually have it
on somewhat good authority that money
that was used to pay for the shipping
was probably actually taken from other
content creators who have recently done
deals with influencer stuff. Thus
creating a horrible cycle of content
creators doing branding deals, their
money getting paid to other people.
Richard owes money to first and then
Richard has to find another content
creator to do another branding deal to
pay that initial content creator. But it
gets worse because it's at this point I
contact a couple of random creators that
I don't really know on the influencer
stuff website. And whilst all of them
want to remain varying degrees of
anonymous, all of them were currently
owed or had been owed recently money
from Richard. Not one person had
anything good to say about him either.
And it was at this point I realized it
wasn't just my money that had been
Thanos snapped. It was every single
dollar that had gone through influencer
stuff all year. We are currently right
now amassing a content creator victims
group DM. So, uh if you want to join
that, you can tweet me. But yeah, uh
this guy owes like a lot of money to a
lot of people. But it gets worse because
you have to understand what dealing with
Richard is like. You see, Richard is a
severely mentally ill, pathological liar
who believes his own delusions. in this
situation. I have no doubt that he 100%
sees himself as the victim despite being
the root of all the problems, like
demonstratively so. And if you've ever
had the misfortune of having to confront
a pathological liar about their lies,
you'll know it's like League of Legends.
It's just a complete waste of time and
you just come away from it feeling
terrible, like why did I do that? And
even if Richard did one day decide to
tell me where the money went and he was
truthful, I wouldn't believe him anyway
because this dude lies about literally
everything. And I know I'm making jokes
because that's like how I deal with
stuff. I just make jokes. Um, but this
has like really actually affected me. I
already had like really really bad trust
issues in real life. And Richard's
constant lying has just really
extrapolated this recently. He tried to
garner pity when asked like where's my
money from like five different people.
He told them that he had recently been
robbed. Like his house had been robbed.
And one of them said that Richard didn't
show up to a business meeting. And he
said that it was because he was speaking
with the jury. You know, the famously
competent and fast acting American legal
system where you will be speaking to a
jury in court about your house robbery
the very same week that it happened. And
up until now, his lies have just been
like small or just straight up like
gaslighting. Like he told one content
creator, "Oh, I've already paid you. Did
it not come through?" But this lie was
just so far out of his intellectual
abilities. like he was completely
unqualified as a low-level pathological
liar to be attempting such a highlevel
tale. So when he tried this on me, he
found out that I'm the wrong one, which
is really weird because you'd think my
manager would know me. Like my whole
online World of Warcraft presence is
basically, look how petty I am. I had
already called his local sheriff's
department and they couldn't confirm to
me if the incident even occurred. Whilst
this doesn't really mean anything,
Richard was also somehow unable to
provide documents to prove his side,
like a police report or an insurance
claim or like anything really that you
would just want to show someone to
prove, hey, I'm not lying. So, the
timeline is that within 2 weeks, Richard
has reported a crime. They've caught the
guy because, you know, they're now in
court and there's a jury. So, obviously,
they're judging someone for sentencing.
This is how court works, I think. But it
gets worse because not only is this guy
a pathological liar and a cheat, he's
also just a really nasty, abusive
person. When you call him out for stuff,
he would turn it around on you like,
"How can you treat me this way? I was
there for you when no one was." But I'm
going to skip to my what I think is
probably my most outrageous example of
him just completely overstepping.
Because it really just shows what kind
of person he is. So, when I signed to
have Influencer Stuff manage me
exclusively, I received a computer as
part of my signing bonus worth
approximately $6,000. This computer
wasn't tied to any deal or any other
thing in particular. It was just,
"Thanks for joining. Here's the
computer." And the only way that I was
going to be held liable for this
computer was if um I wanted to leave
influencer stuff through no fault of
influencer stuff. So, if I just wanted
to leave because I wanted to leave, I
had to pay for the computer. Other than
that, the contract states that only
influencer stuff can get me branding
deals because that's what exclusivity
means. And any deal that I take,
influencer stuff gets 15%. And finally,
if for whatever reason Richard wants to
fire me, he has to give me 30 days
notice. And there is nothing in the
contract that states he would get paid
for the computer in this event. So on
December 15th, 2022, Richard asks me to
do a branding deal. And this is after I
had already uncovered his lies and his
deception and his [ __ ] And I told
him, "You know what? Sure, Richard. I'll
do it after you pay me because I wasn't
about to do something that he would be
taking a 15% cut from. Like, you got me
[ __ ] up. To which he responds, oh no,
don't worry about that contract. You can
just do it anyway. Which is like, that
is not how you do business. We have a
contract. At this time, I also told him
that I am not going to be reupping my
contract because duh. And obviously,
because Richard is just an insidious,
this didn't sit right with him. So,
Richard tells me that he will be
charging me for the PC and taking it out
of the money when he eventually pays me,
despite having absolutely no legal
grounds to do so. He knows that he has
no legal grounds to claim the computer,
but we are dealing with a fundamentally
horrible individual who is just simply
out to hurt people. He really drives it
home. It's funny you think I won't
charge you. This guy is scum. But it
gets worse. I know. I know. How could it
get worse? After the fulfillment center
finally shipped out all the remaining
plushies, they told me that Richard has
been setting his cut of the deal at 30%.
Which is two times the amount the
contract states. So, when he's been
talking to them about doing calculations
for payment, he's been incorrectly
calculating his own pay. He knows very
well his pay is 15%. His percent is not
30%. I don't know where he's getting 30%
from. The contract is really [ __ ]
clear about 15%. And I haven't even
brought up to him that I know that he's
been trying to calculate this amount
behind the scenes because I'm just so
done talking to this [ __ ] liar, dude.
Anyway, between the two campaigns that
Richard owes me money from, he owes me a
grand total of $38,426.15.
And don't you [ __ ] forget about the
15, [ __ ] This is the correct
calculation done with the correct
percentages and deducting the things
that I actually do owe in deductibles,
like a plane ticket he bought me last
year, but honestly, I don't expect to be
paid. Yeah. Yeah. And I know you
Americans are going to say sue him. But
listen, that's not how things work in
the real world. I'm in England. It would
take me so much more money than he owes
me just to sue him. And then if I win
and I sue him for the lawyer fees, who's
going to pay the rest of the victims if
he's spending like $200,000 just on me
and I know 12 people he owes five
figures to. Like, there is no winner in
this situation. I don't really have any
options but to make this video in the
hopes that more creators come forward
and this gets traction so this guy can
never work in this industry again and
abuse creators in the way that he has
been for so many years now. And Richard,
if you're watching this, get help. You
are a severely ill, disgusting wretch of
a person, and you will lose everything
if you do not get help and reassess your
behavior. I will never forgive you for
what you have done to me and the way you
made me a mouthpiece for your despicable
lies. I do not know how you sleep at
night, knowing how many people you have
stolen from and lied to. People whose
personal lives you knew about
intimately, and yet you still decided to
do the things you did. There are people
you have stolen from whose wedding you
attended, who you knew in real life. I
just can't fathom how you found yourself
in this position because you're just not
fit to be here. You're not fit to work
here. I don't know who let you in, but
you have made it abundantly clear that
someone is going to have to kick you out
and you only have yourself to blame.
Also, pay me, you c to everyone who
bought a plushie, thank you for
supporting me, and I'm just so so sorry
the shipping was so [ __ ] in the way
that it was. I obviously do not work
with Richard anymore. And I have since
teamed up with a new manufacturer and
fulfillment center so that in the future
this kind of thing can just never happen
again for any future merchandise I do.
They are also the people that picked up
the pieces after Richard's just complete
mishandling of this whole thing. So I
just have to really give them my props.
They they've been amazing. You guys
don't even know. I don't know if I'll
get paid for this campaign. But
honestly, I'm just happy you guys got a
product that I honestly put my soul
into. Every single inch of this plushy
was designed intentionally and I'm
really happy with how it came out. So,
I'm just happy that people got people
got the plushy. And as you can tell, I'm
running out of steam here. So, I'm
probably just going to end this here.
So, if you made it this far, thanks for
watching. Videos are coming, you guys. I
wanted to put out one more Warcraft
video last year, but Richard [ __ ] me
on that one, too. And dude, I can't even
get into that's a whole different story,
okay? But just trust me, videos soon.
They're [ __ ] bangers. I've been editing
three of them and they're coming out
this year. Also, I know this is cringe,
but since I'm still owed $40,000 from
Richard and I didn't get paid once last
year, please consider supporting me
financially through a Twitch sub, just
while I find my feet until I can get the
next videos out. This might not surprise
you, but I am not a wealthy content
creator. Making really long, highquality
uploads is really good for the viewer,
but it's really bad for the person who
makes the video. And that plushy deal,
that plushy money that is supposed to be
mine was the only reason I could justify
spending so much time on the Scarablord
series. and I have yet to be paid for
it. So, if you can help me out with a
Twitch sub, help me out.
