Was Phil still in contact with John Rambo and Howard in 2014? They could be the "Youtubers" he had "business lunch" with. Either way, it could be Onision and not him on that Reddit post.
Oh boy, if Phil gets fucked by government bureaucracy of all things, that'll be funny as hell. Not for a lack of warning, mind you, since people have been speculating (in this very own thread, no less) that he could end up facing problems with the IRS. Beep beep, Phil.
Phil has said in the past that he was only able to deduct the square footage of his office and seemed somewhat familiar with his particular tax laws. Also, Phil wouldn't go to dinners to discuss collaboration with partners. Additionally, it doesn't have Phil's hallmark of capitalising ALL the letters to emphasise a point. No way that post is him.
It can't be a health issue because how would he not be sure if he could talk about it?
Another thing that struck me recently is how he complains about not having enough time for his breaks. Why the fuck does he have to post them immediately after the stream? Why can't he just chill out and post them in the morning when he gets up? Or after his 2nd stream?
Many things about Phil's life would solve themselves if the motherfucker could refrain from watching shitty movies or
wrassling until 5 AM every single day, and actually waking up around 9 AM (which is still a luxury wake up time, since most people who work will wake up around 7-8 AM). He'd have enough time before his stream to have a decent breakfast, take a shower, perhaps even go to a nearby gym and exercise a little.
He claims his sleep schedule is fucked up, but that's something you can easily fix in 1 or 2 days of maintaining a proper sleep schedule. I know from experience, it's piss easy to do it. He could even do it gradually since he's in no rush to do it, sleeping 1 hour earlier every night until his hours are more "normal" without any real sacrifices.
EDIT
Definitely sounds like an audit---what other "notice" could cause him to "lose everything"? Having been there and done that, I'm not even making fun of Phil on this one. He's full of self-pity as usual and takes no responsibility, but he sounds legit depressed and he doesn't ask for money in the new video, so I'm going to take a pass on bashing the guy. I'm sure he'll do something else horrible in the near future to ridicule.
Don't forget about his past arrogance about his "business" and how everything was hunky dory because he had this Dean of Accounting dude doing his taxes. I'll enjoy him squirming through an audit and get completely fucked out of his assets, if that's the case (which I'm still not sure it is). This situation, if confirmed, will be 100% his own goddamn fault, the best kind of Phil situation that there is to laugh at.
