  1. How the fuck did you think you would get away with it?
  2. You're risking what is probably a super comfy job compared to working in a traditional business.
I will never understand how someone could throw away so much for booze, fast food and toys.

Why does an editor need a company card in the first place?

Justin is their editor, not Jackson. He did social media (?) or something. Truth is, he and Harrison showed up in LA and have thoroughly ridden Matt and Ryan’s coattails in the same lazy way Alli wandered onto third mic on Game Grumps. Boiling water, frog, lifelong friend from your home town, it’s easy to miss... if you’re r.etarded.

Too bad Chris doesn't recognize a slut that has a taste for Irish dick. It took TWO meth-headed friends of his to tell everyone the truth.

Context: Chris's last gf cheated on him and went after another Irish content creator who's younger. I ain't got the 4chan posts but it's out in the open now.

I don't like comparing the two of them because the Super Mega and OneyPlays are businesses ran by manchildren who are stuck in high school. Remember that Chris, along with his entire group of friends, STILL stayed friends with that pedo minded Shadman.

Nah you’re like Chris, Cory, Zach the entire sleepy cabin crew are all dick farts for continually sticking up for Shad but Matt and Ryan NEED SuperMega to succeed cause they’re not really rolling in prospects. Matt’s not gonna become a successful musician cause his music sucks he’s like a F-tier Freddie Dredd or Post Malone

Matt and Ryan will probably fade into other video and audio production crews in 5 years. I remember the whole Cyndago thing and how Ryan's BF killed himself. SuperMega was there for Ryan and Matt when they were going through that time. They need to work at other production crews so their friendship can stay fresh. (IMO They were funnier when they were editing for other people)

I don't see SuperMega going far if they keep entrusting their friends to do jobs and finances.
 
Curious as to how Jackson's brothers feel about this, haven't kept up with SM's content in a few years but I remember Carson and Harrison appearing in quite a few videos, notably Carson who IIRC filmed a few live-action videos for them. Might've even filmed live-action stuff for Game Grumps too, but I can't be sure. I imagine they're probably staying out of it, but that's gotta create some tension between Matt/Ryan and the remaining Tucker bros.
Can't say I'm as surprised as a lot of other people are though, a personal cow of mine put me on the radar for a lot of lesser-known SuperMega drama, most notably Matt's crazy abusive ex(?) girlfriend. There's like a whole gossip subcommunity of exceptional ex-stans who've been waiting for SM to crash and burn, which honestly felt inevitable considering their youtuber upbringing.

I hope they find a way to land on there feet, I personally hope it’s not music but they’re both pretty talented editor and videographers. The skit they did with MeatCanyon while pretty subpar comedy was really well shot and I feel like they could be making some pretty decent short films.

SuperMega/Gamegrumps is a business. Oneyplays is a side project. The difference is the former treat lets plays as sooper srs business and the latter are making a video game/have a tv show on air/own a successful business (a real one, not lets players pretending to do business).

I remember Lyle once saying on a stream years ago something to the affect of “I don’t play video games for work, I play video games TO work” as in he started letsplaying and twitch streaming to bring attention and support his voice acting and animations

Both are talented enough to easily find normal work within a production company, especially in digital media. Digital media companies will prioritize someone with a large instagram following and viral videos over an impressive college education or even skill because A) it highlights their company and they can ride off the clout, and B) it shows they have an eye for what people like. Unlike Arin who's burned bridges with fucking Adult Swim no less (or at least several people doing very, very well with it right now Smiling Friends is a goddamn gem ), Matt and Ryan seem (well, until this, seemed) smart enough to be able to swing a new job. But going from making more money in five years than most people even in the United States could ever dream of to a $40K per year salary as young online editors would sting.

Professional film work VS "new media" is always seen as more legitimate and desirable by the boomers who run the industry, plus the editing software Supermega uses (Premiere) is not the same as the film industry standard (AVID), which will prevent them from more legitimate film jobs unless they learn it (and it's a pain in the fucking ass to learn.)

Tl;dr: Unless they catastrophically fuck up, they'll always find work. But with their asinine finance practices, they won't be happy making 1/4 of what they make now in their 40s.

For being a supremeautismo you’ve made some solid points honestly. I hope they just get an accountant or someone else to handle the fiscal shit who ISNT a friend or someone they know personally
 
Knowing Supermega, I'd like to say this is all a huge, elaborate bit, but it's probably real.

Give me my 🌈, but I'm gonna say this is a prank for now.
 
That's a weird system in the US for company credit cards anyway (maybe not that weird, if you want to keep the paper trail small).
In germany most company credit cards (from bigger companies) are connected to the employee's private bank account.
The employees are then required to collect the bills/invoices and send them in.
The companies have a contract with the payment providers and somehow take over the positions that have been sent in by the employees, leaving any others.
That makes the cards usable for private and business expenses, which is useful on business trips outside the country if the employee doesn't have a private credit card (shocking concept for US citizens I assume :) ), and also does not incentivize misuse.

Fair, but knowing that their style of "comedy" is fake infighting and shit like that, it's not too far from the realm of possibility.

But, at the same time, everyone that lives in Cali is a scumbag, so idk.

You know what-- fuck it, why not?

I mean, let's be real, does this look like the face of a man who would scam a lifelong friend out of $60K?

The irony being Supermega has had a guy they featured who looks like a pedophile, while the Grumps actually have a real pedophile, is pretty delicious (like those Jackson cocktails! Mmmm.)

I just want to say I fucking hate LA hipsters and this 1980s gay pedophile look is crap. The few people who get your joke of looking ironically bad are outnumbered by the other 90% who just think you look like a chomo.
 


Jackson's Patreon announcement video sheds some light on the hard hitting details of behind the scenes at SuperMega. It gives us a completely reasonable reason for why he embezzled this much money, which is that he was just trying to get enough to afford a Plymouth Prowler. He also describes himself as providing leadership at SuperMega, which I can only assume is a reference to how he lead the company in credit card charges.



Heres a patreon exclusive video about one of his purchases, uploaded August 17 2021 about a monkey tiki mug created by Tiki Tony. These mugs are sold by Tikiland Trading Company and they're fucking expensive and cool
If we look at the receipts, we can find that he spent about $176 on the mug. In January 2022 he also returned to the Tikiland Trading Company, spending $375 on their website.

Monkey Mug as seen on their website.

Here are all the patreon exclusive drink recipes he made, they all sound pretty fucking good


- 2 oz of irish whiskey

- 1 oz Lemon Juice

- 1/4 oz Raspberry Liqueur (I used Chambord)

- 1/2 oz Simple Syrup

- Syrah Wine

- Soda Water
Add all ingredients besides the wine and soda water to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake thoroughly and strain over a cube of ice in a rocks glass. Float wine on top. Finally, top with soda water.

1 oz. 100 proof Rye

½ oz dark jamaican rum

¾ oz. Campari

1.25 oz. pineapple juice

1 oz. fresh lemon juice

¼ oz ginger syrup

Add all ingredients to a shaker, shake and strain over cracked ice

Garnish with an umbrella, lemon slice, and a cherry

3/4 oz orange juice (blood oranges if you’ve got them)

1 oz Islay Scotch (I used Laphroaig 10 year)

3/4 oz Cherry Heering

3/4 oz Punt e Mes Vermouth

1 egg white

Peychauds bitters (for garnish)

Add all ingredients except for bitters to a cocktail shaker and dry shake with the egg white (meaning no ice yet, this lets the egg white froth better)

After dry shaking, add ice and briefly shake again to chill the drink.

Strain into a coupe.

Add 1 or 2 dashes of bitters in a splatter like fashion atop the egg whites and enjoy!

2 oz 100 proof Rye whiskey

1 dash of Angostura bitters

2 dash of Bitter End Memphis BBQ bitters (until they make a Texas style)

1 macerated maraschino cherry

1 barspoon of syrup from cherries

Orange peel

Add the syrup, bitters, and cherry to a rocks glass. Macerate the cherry with the bitters.

Now add the Rye and a rock of ice.

Stir until chilled.

Garnish with an orange peel.

- 2 oz Bourbon

- 1/2 oz Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur

- 1 barspoon maple syrup

- 1 dash walnut bitters

- 2 dashes orange bitters

Add all ingredients over ice and stir. Garnish with a cherry (or three...) Pretty straightforward Old Fashioned construction.
Quick Tip: for a sweeter cocktail I would swap the Luxardo for some Cherry Heering

I graphed the data from that document (excluding the last month since they basically caught him right at the start of it) and added in a simple trend line. It seems like he started off small enough that it probably wasn't too hard to pass off as legitimate business expenses, but it looks like a habit developed in a hurry and was growing to the point where it would be difficult not to notice.

I'm most curious about January 2021. If there was some kind of new year's resolution it sure as hell didn't last for very long.

Looks like cycles of guilt / shame / fear of being caught -> “got away with it” / binge / spend.
