For anybody wondering what is going on with $CANCER live stream… my life was saved for whole 24 hours untill someone tuned in my stream and got me to download verified game on Steam
After this I was drained for over 32,000$ USD of my creator fees earned on pumpdotfun and everything quickly changed. I can’t breathe, I can’t think, im completely lost on what is going to happen next, can’t shake the feeling that it is my fault that I might end up on street again or not have anything to eat in few days… my heart wants to jump out of my mouth and it hurts.
I won’t rewatch this myself but I have added a clip from the stream after I noticed what has happened.
also I have succesfully (CTOed) my creator rewards and they have been redirected to safe device.

More context:
Yesterday a video game streamer named rastalandTV inadvertently livestreamed themselves being a victim of a cryptodraining campaign.
This particular spearphishing campaign is extraordinarily heinous because RastaLand is suffering from Stage-4 Sarcoma and is actively seeking donations for their cancer treatment. They lost $30,000 of the money which was designated for their cancer treatment. In the steam clip their friend tries to console them while they cry out, “I am broken now.”
They were contacted by an unknown person who requested they play their video game demo (downloadable from Steam). In exchange for RastaLand playing their video game demo on stream, they would financially compensate them.
Unfortunately, the Steam game was actually a cryptodrainer masquerading as a legitimate video game.

Comments
This is probably the only time I actually feel sympathy for someone getting scammed like this, because cancer sucks and it affects everyone in some way eventually (my family has had to face it too). If they ever catch the guy that did this, his property needs to be searched for corpses because this is some hardcore psychopath behavior.
But the lesson of this is the same: don’t ever use crypto currencies. Don’t accept them, don’t buy with them, don’t mine them, don’t even look at them. Even if you don’t get scammed, your engagement with the ecosystem supports people who do shit like this.
