He was making this video before all that stuff came up. He addresses that he has another part coming out about that specifically.
But this is significant because MrBeast is seen by people as mother Theresa, just perfectly selfless, when the reality is, the money he gives away are to his already rich friends; he promotes gambling to children making promises that they could be the one winning, when reality is the people chosen aren't random, the outcomes aren't random, he claims his videos aren't faked and this guy systematically dismantles that and shows many examples of fakery. He runs illegal sweepstakes, etc.
I'm guessing MrBeast gives enough money to the right politicians, FBI and DOJ bureaucrats to make this all go away. It'll be interesting to see if the IRS gives them all the finger and takes him down anyways.
It was the same with Capone. He spent so much time and effort buying off the Bureau of Investigation (the FBI's predecessor) that he was blindsided when the IRS swooped in and stuffed him into a cell.
This is why the old way of having the IRS, FBI and Treasury agents have overlap made sense. (As much as it pains my old 'shiner heart to say that.) You can bribe the local G-Men, but can you buy off the G-Men, T-Men and the Revenuers, too?
Fraud? I'd wager that's the least of the possible criminal activity.

Somewhere, at IRS headquarters, a giant red light is flashing at somebody's watch panel.

Pretty sure his handler agency will take care of that stuff.
