DSP's Amazon Wish List - https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3RGWWKZJKJL5A

Anyone who is more knowledgeable about wishlists, can you purchase your own items?
Yes, and the only person who'd know is Phil (or anyone else who has access to his account), and this is a very good point. In the past he's needed to rely on """anonymous benefactors""" to buy him big-ticket items when he begs for them specifically. Now he can just make a big list with all of his gimme-gimmes and buy them as he gets money for them and thank his wonderful fans while he shows off his newest toy that he'll immediately begin to neglect.

One of my first thoughts was Phil couldn't stand not being able to show off all the junk he's wasted money on so he would set up a wishlist to create some level of plausible deniability and be able to brag about it. Plus you know a few fans will actually buy him stuff too so it is a win-win. Not even going to predict this will effect tips/bits/subs either. Everything else has worked out so why wouldn't this?
 
I wonder two things.
1.) In the past he asked for PSN Cards and "gifts" and some people pointed out he was trying to avoid taxes or scam them. Isn't this the same thing?
2.) Since he is lying about the use of his Patreon, can that cause issues?

Is this all a scam in an attempt to not claim the wishlist gifts on his taxes?

Phil, that's still taxable income. It's not like your mom giving you something, they're your viewers.

Fucking this.

I've long been a fan of the idea that a lot of the "anonymous" gifters are just him giving himself shit. Way too many people helping him out at the last minute, time and again. This helps to obfuscate how much funds he truly has lying around. Him admitting that his mommy gifted him $4k during the wedding arc (which I speculate was more than $4k) may have been one of the few if not only honest times he's told us he got money not from his paypigs.

NOw I know he's not stupid enough to donate large sums of money to himself purely for optics because he'd have to eat the fees on that. I'm just saying, there are too many coincidences surrounding Mr. Burnell and his last-minute good samaritans.

This Amazon wishlist thing is just gonna let him do more of his hand-waving, if the opportunity presents itself. 'Oh dood, someone gifted me that awesome cool new game! They wish to remain anonymous though. ack ack ack'

EDIT so as not to double post: I would love for someone to bring up his stated patreon purpose to him in a stream...doesn't he still get a few hundred dollars a month from the lunatics that are still on auto-pay with him? He should have well in excess the amounts needed for any game even with Washington's 65% sales tax.

Finally!
 
So DSP won't put EVERY game up there in case too many games are bought and he doesn't have time to play them. Instead he's just going to put up PSN codes for his fans to help with the cost of games. Wish list is like a wedding registry (his words) and if someone buys something on the list it disappears from the list.

He's going to put games up that he already has on his schedule for people to buy for him. Then put up codes, and re-up the codes after each time they get bought so he has credit to buy a new game "if it pops up." And to help with the new releases he wants to chase. Also, how am I (hypothetically of course) supposed to give a $40 PSN credit for him to play Bloodstained and say please play Bloodstained if he doesn't put the game Bloodstained on his wish list?

Is he going to resell PSN codes? I can't see what the goal of the wish list here if he gets a PSN credit code for a game, and also the game. How is he going to keep track of all the different PSN credit he gets?

Holy shit, this sounds like a huuuuuge shell game. I can't wait to see him try to juggle this.

Milking those retards till the last drop. I'm only surprised he hasn't done this sooner. "trolling him" by buying him expensive stuff on amazon that he actually wants will be the new hip, Tevin-approved thing.

So this whole thing is just a way for Phil to force his fans to send him codes to unlock the digital download of a game they have purchased for him, because either he thinks it's a loophole that doesn't count as income or he thinks it's so sneakily obfuscated there's no way for the IRS to find out.

He just got on a payment plan for his unpaid 2018 taxes a little over a month ago and he's immediately trying to come up with some grift to turn a small percentage of his income into under-the-table pay to defraud the IRS. The funny thing to me is if Phil were smart there is a way to do this very simply and not have to report it as income. Someone sending you a digital download code is essentially someone transferring the deed of ownership to you and you are required to report the 'fair market value' of that donation at the time received as income.

It's seem like, especially given his recent completely misunderstood explanation of how 'gift exemptions' work, that he doesn't understand this or he would be trying to grift his fans into also sending him a donation to cover the income tax on whatever wishlist items they donate to him. I think he really believes his incorrect idea of how 'gift exemptions' work in that as long as people don't buy him over a certain dollar amount of purchases he is not required to report it as income.

I will laugh a lot if this dumb motherfucker creates a public, easily trackable list of unreported income while he's already on the hook for unpaid taxes.
 
I just wonder how long it will take before a new computer, PS5, laundry machine, livingroom tv, car and other not stream related stuff starts appearing on it...
