This story really solidified my respect for Ludwig. To be able to admit you were scammed, talk about it openly so others won’t be scammed, and change the SCAMMER’s life for the better in the process, is a testament to his character. He sets a great example

Gotta respect the way you handled this situation, funny how me losing $1000 lead to the truth of a way bigger scam

can’t say i blame him for monetizing his loss of money

bro that cat is so chill

I’ve gotten scammed for 1500$ so I know how it feels. Knew this girl for a long time and she screwed me over with a fake story needing to borrow money. Never lend and money to any family or friends. Ruins relationships

gambling is dogshit and i hope everyone keeps becoming aware of the dangers it has on anyone it touches and the people around them

Funny how lud can turn his worst experiences into content for us

I lost $2000 a few days ago from a scam because I thought I was going to get more money. I feel stupid. So this video kind of helps. I’m still grieving, but I’ll be fine. 😓

I'm genuinely impressed, this takes a lot of maturity and restraint to not only admit you got scammed, but to not take the easy vindictive route.

It’s actually pretty touching that lud would choose to protect this guy from going to prison but Grayson should face harsher consequences. self banning/public shame isn’t enough - people don’t change easily, especially when it involves money.

I remember him telling chat about this guy when he got back from Vegas. We were all trying to tell him it was a scam but oh well, at least Lud can take the loss, and is willing to admit he was scammed.

He scammed me for 1,000. Same person, he’s still gambling

Ludwig: loses money
Ludwig: "CONTENT"

This is why I like Ludwig, he's tanking his $100,000 loss and giving Grayson a chance to have a fresh start on his life, when most people would want revenge. Mad respect.

Gambling addiction or not, I wouldn't let him off. You really trust him to 'self-ban' and not do this shit again? Remember the last time you put your trust in this guy? He might be playing nice now, but that's because he's backed into a corner; he'll say anything for a safe exit. Letting him go 100% leads to him scamming more people.

Grayson messed with the wrong guy when he scammed ludwig 😂

I'm glad he told the whole story. I hope it has a better ending than it stands right now. I've heard Ludwig talk about his gambling addiction in the past so when I heard he gambled 40k I was really worried about him. The fact he was ok with losing 50k is kind of crazy though.

Okay so Grayson is 23, the whole time i imagined some middle aged old man with gold aviator sunglasses, in a reversable suit, a Ron Swanson mustache, with a Brooklyn accent tellin Ludwig how he's gonna make him the big bucks

I remember him telling us about this guy on stream, wasn't expecting him to actually be a scammer cause he seemed so chill and normal.

Ludwig, i feel like you really should be reporting this guy. Getting him banned from vegas doesn't stop him from doing this to someone who can't afford a 50k loss. He can go gamble out of state, or online. How do you know he won't just find another outlet to do this and eventually ruin someones life?
