The deleted
Streamable clip (link) you replied to here from over a month ago remains one of his most manipulative moments from 2022 so far imo. And of course this entire saga has played out precisely as you, myself, and everyone else here accurately predicted it would from the moment he began promoting it all. There was another similar clip to this one made where he was also talking about what he'd do with the $$$ made from t-shirt sales. It was uploaded either not long before or not long after this clip was made. Both of these were in response to a Twitter poll of his with only 3 options that he made to give off the appearance that it was
his fans idea for him to keep all the money. In one of these clips he originally promised to give substantially more $$$ to charity before eventually changing his mind. If someone has that clip, I'd really appreciate a link as it's what originally inspired this post - I'm just having trouble tracking it down.
To my knowledge Boogie hasn't yet followed up on his merch drive that's allegedly raising funds for some unnamed Ukrainian relief charity (maybe) - it's been over a month now. It's my understanding that if you want to get people to donate / support a particular cause, it's basically crucial to identify what kind of charity they'll be supporting prior to launching the product. When the NHL sells purple colored hockey jerseys in the month of October, they don't market them as "
funds raised will maybe go to an unnamed charity of some kind, not really sure" - it's specifically meant to raise money for breast cancer research and so they're advertised as such. Does Boogie have a short list of charities he's researched that have mission statements he agrees with and feels safe and excited to donate to? Has he done even a single Google search on the subject or reached out to anyone who can help facilitate such a donation? We know the answer. Who read the 3rd line in the above Tweet and genuinely believed at the time that funds raised by these t-shirts would actually make their way to a Ukrainian charity organization? Steven couldn't give off the appearance that he cares less if he tried.
I think any outside observer who had all the details of Boogie's post-court case grift would agree that this is really just a selfish and greedy play by Steven, that much is obvious. That he's effectively trying to shield himself from criticism by pretending it's actually some altruistic endeavor out of the goodness of his heart. Just like all of his grand plans about returning to a schedule filled with planned trips, YouTube upload ideas, and plenty of collaborations/podcasts, he quickly forgot about this apparent charity drive of his.
It's obvious that Steven used some bottom of the barrel ecommerce site that allows boomers who are unfamiliar with even MS Paint to
design shirts that cost pennies to print and are super low quality. When he did he "
I survived 2020" merch (and made <$400 after promoting and selling them for 3 1/2 months through March '21) he had them designed by a follower who calls himself a graphic designer. Don't get me wrong, those shirts were equally atrocious and everything about them makes the viewer feel dread. But every time Steven promoted them with dozens of tweets and "sponsors" within his own videos he mentioned that this follower of his was getting 50% of the profit - he made a big deal out of this. To my knowledge he hasn't mentioned any kind of similar deal going on with these new shirts which is good because zero people involved in the making of these should be getting paid a penny. Steven said himself and even pretended to be thrilled that he made $380~ on those t-shirts that he promoted for 3+ months, and that's the total figure prior to allegedly sending half to the shirt's designer. If Steven donated 10% of that merch run from a time when he had significantly more followers and time promoting them to a wider audience, then he'd be sending something like $38~ to Ukraine. This is the same guy who earlier last year said that he withdrew $600,000 worth of crypto in a single transaction.
Steven didn't want to give 50% to a designer this time so he alone "
designed" the shirts he originally hyped up to be high quality, "
custom designed based on real inmate t-shirts" (100% wrong lol), and supporting Ukrainian charity. The original orange inmate one I don't even think he had any input on, I'm convinced that it was a pre-existing option - he's that fucking lazy. The designs are so bad that there's no way he spent more than 4 minutes in the premade shirt designer putting these together. He first chose the color black. Then scrolled through 3 options and selected a premade background design (?) template, the white lines/circles. He then hit "upload image" which was his mugshot. Centered the image. And finally "add textbox" which he typed "
#FreeBoogie" into.
He hasn't followed up with his fans who say the shirts didn't arrive or weren't as advertised. And he hasn't followed up on his effort to donate proceeds to Ukrainian charity, or even named where the funds are going (Azov anyone?). Since first mentioning the t-shirt idea he's framed it as helping him in his legal proceedings by raising $$$ to pay for his lawyer. Steven knows that his followers are retarded and unaware of his court case's details just like they buy his story of Frank seriously trying to rape and kill him. When forced to acknowledge what's really happening he shifts to saying that actually he's just "
recouping" the $$$ that he already paid his lawyer a long time ago, but his framing on this has been manipulative since day 1. Even the sloganeering of "
Free Boogie" is intentionally misleading and makes zero sense. His court case is essentially done now so long as he doesn't fuck up. He's paid his lawyer already. But he wants his low IQ followers to believe that his continued freedom relies on their donations/shirt sales. This is McJuggerNuggets' Vimeo clone "
StoryFire" retarded levels of grift at play. All of this is so transparent and his retard followers just continue to buy into it lol.
Take this tweet for instance where he's responding to someone asking how they can be sure the money then send Steven will in turn be successfully donated to a legitimate charity org as well as paying off his actual legal fees + lawyer bills. The highlighted quote is him saying that he has no way to confirm to his followers that the $$$ made from shirt sales will actually be used to pay his lawyer. He's intentionally dodging + obfuscating the commenter's question by already deferring blame to the uninvolved lawyer, setting it up as if showing an anonymized outgoing invoice/payment confirmation with names + private info blacked out would be some grave privacy concern for the attorney in question. The only times that's been a problem for Steven is when he wanted it to become one. Like when he purposely left Apollo Legend's (RIP) name + email in the screenshot (but cropped out the contents that contradict his previous lies) he blasted to his followers so they'd harass him while Boogie pretended he didn't know who he was. Or when he accidentally leaves a Facebook friend's name fully visible by using the low opacity spray-paint tool instead of just blacking it out in the hopes his followers will also harass this private person who Boogie has a problem with.
But all of this is completely irrelevant. In the
Streamable clip I linked at the top of this post he admits that his lawyer has already been paid off. He's no longer making any payments to his lawyer at all but it's important to him that his gullible followers believe that to be true. The same ones he convinced Frank Hassle was legitimately set out on a mission to gimp, rape, and kill Steven, Sammy, and his neighbors who love him dearly. I really can not reiterate enough that it wasn't even a year ago when Steven claimed to have withdrawn $600,000 worth of crypto in a single transaction, be nearing millionaire status, and that while it was little known he actually was a crypto + day trading whiz who definitely didn't just hop aboard the $GME train well after it's peak in a desperate claim to relevance. Boogie himself said that he was being manipulative with this t-shirt / Ukrainian support saga himself in the brief clip below. (Btw my b for the spergout. This post isn't even that good or insightful. I haven't posted as much lately and as soon as I started typing and elaborating on his many lies, I just couldn't stop lol. My next posts will improve.)
