Chinese man sends $550K & family’s life savings to streamer so she’d call him “bro”
(Newsoftheweird)The man even resorted to just eating plain steamed buns, while sending everything he had to the unnamed creator.
Eventually, his family cut off access to their funds, so Hong resorted to breaking the law to acquire funds to send.
Man steals over $300,000 and sends it to streamer
The man, who was making deliveries as part of his family’s hardware business, began stealing copper materials and sold the items to waste recycling stations.
However, when a significant amount of copper went missing, a factory contacted the police, and Hong ended up turning himself in.
When the authorities showed they had evidence of his financial transactions, Hong confessed to 40 thefts. In total, he had stolen $316,000, all of which he sent to the streamer.
“I didn’t want to meet her; I just wanted to hear her call me ‘brother,’” he claimed.
In total, he had sent the creator 4 million yuan ($550,000 USD), which shocked the online community.
“If you just want to hear [her call you brother], why not record it and play it on repeat?” one user asked.
“Maybe he should see a psychiatrist,” said another.
This isn’t the first time someone has spent big money on a creator. In 2022, Twitch star Amouranth was sent $70K in cash, a new iPhone, and self-defense items from an anonymous viewer.
