They stole $1.7 million

- In November 2018, Defy Media shut down without any notice. They laid off their workers without warning and have held ransom the money earned by the KRplus Creators who were in their network. I was one of those Creators. Defy was my former employer and the multichannel network that represented Game Theory, Film Theory, and GTLive - EVERYTHING. We trusted them to help us and for that we and 49 other Creators in their network collectively lost 1.7 MILLION DOLLARS. Money that was owed to us, EARNED by us, and taken by DEFY. Today, the fate of that money rests in the hands of a bank, Ally Bank, who will decide the people who get their money back and those who are out of luck. After trying other methods of solving the situation, nothing has worked, so at this point we have no choice but to make our fight public. Steph and I have personally been going out of pocket to try and get everyone's money back, but to improve your chances, we need your help.
This is my story of what happened. And this is what we all can do to help ensure no other Creator, large or small, has their money stolen from them ever again.

Angry Matpat is scary, but I can relate to how he was feeling. I hope this has been solved the best it could've been.
Yup

I was scared too😅
which part was he angry?

Matpat is like spiderman, absolutely wholesome but when he loses his patience he's absolutely terrifying
As one of the creators who was in the Defy network, thank you MatPat for making this video and all the other efforts you and Steph have made behind the scenes on this.
whatever are you ok
I used 2 watch your videos
Are doing ok
You guys should sue the people behind DEFY

Matpat: sits on a couch
Everyone: sweats
Edit: coming back to this after 2 years makes me sad tbh
So true lmaoooo.
underrated comment
Never let dogs on a couch
we just become extremely scared, like something is wrong
Love this comment but I think it’s better if you say
“MatPat: talks in a serious tone
Fans: *sweats* “
Poor MatPat had no idea who he made his banner for. I don’t blame him. This was 4 years ago 5:49
im starting to realise how many sad videos mat has on game theorists
and how many matpat hater degens there are too
MAT IS 32?
...am I the only person who thinks he looks 24-ish?
no, you're not the only one
I thought he was like 23, 24, or 26.....
He ages good
no
Yeah honestly he does not look 32
It feels like he’s on the verge of tears at some points
he is.....
I can’t tell haha!
I can tell
Yah...
But he really is... and I find it amazing that he didn’t. He’s an amazing guy and he doesn’t deserve this.
I’m watching this 3 years later. But even then, this still disgust me. How they abused their power and didn’t seem to bat much of a eye for creator’s.
I’m so sorry.
Wish you the best, and I wanna at least try to support by watching. I hope you managed to recover the money.

Same watching this 3 years later, and I am crying

Thank you for being an inspiration for me and my household..we r fans and supporters!!!

Brother, MatPat, go to sleep. Go into hibernation. Take a break on the videos. Your son needs you more than we do. Find the $1.7million. We will be waiting for you, right here, when you get back
Kirby Edwards That’s the Problem he makes money from ad revenue or the videos.
Yeah... Even if he just makes quick, ten minute vlogs or something so he at least gets some income, anyone who is a true fan (Not one of those people who think KRplusrs are Video-Making Machines that don't have human needs) won't mind. We'll be happy that he's recovering from this massive scam. If you read this MatPat... Just know that we care more about YOU than the quantity of videos.
But he can’t take a break, he NEEDS money to support his son, so he does, sadly, have to keep making videos
This is the predicament of a KRplus income.
Screw the algorithm and enjoy your family MatPat!
😄
If there is one suggestion that I could make for matpat to get the time he needs for sleep, his son, and figuring out this whole pile of crap is to branch out and let the fans or smaller channels that do similar things to film/game theory make videos for matpat (money and stuff would need to talked about for each individual creator) but still matpat take a day off and relax. You earned it
This is more complicated than the FNaF timeline

No. While he was doing to intro about the 2018 highs and lows he said that he lost his friend due to suicide so he raised money for mental health research
@@foxzero99gaming16 no his friend commited suicide in 2018 not because of this
Seeing Matt on a couch is scary. I’m glad that Game Theorists stayed and is still thriving.
MatPat, if you need a break to take care of Oliver and Stephanie, take it. Being a parent and a husband is more important then making sure we get updates.

If they don't put out vids, they don't make money tho. Maybe they should start a Patreon for parental leave. :')
@@ohfrostygod8077 Found the guy with the deadbeat dad

Never change, broseph!
Seeing someone whose usually an optimist/pacifist get angry is one of the most unsettling things I’ve dealt with in real life. I could *feel* this man’s anger through my screen.
What is this dude’s stamina he can hold tears way longer than me
Maybe he cried before so that he didn't in the vid idk
I love your profile picture.

Angry Matt is compelling. Sorry to hear this happened to you. It really is outrageous. Here's hoping things catch up to this person in the future and that Ally Bank hears you out.

Angry mat is like an angry dad who is calm while yelling on their child.

Anyone who puts their heart and soul, their time, their money, don't deserve this to happen to them, they should not have all their money taken due to greed, and pride, remember hubris brings out the worst in us, humanity, we have choices be careful who you trust.
You can just hear in his voice how sad he is while talking about this
When Matpat is mad at you, then you DID DONE MESSED UP.

You know, there was so much potential these MCN's could have done, different cut tiers with different benefits, like access to studios, access to production staff, merch management, etc.

Not that comic relief scripted anger, I mean geniune, unbottled, fiery anger
No need to be impressed over spilled emotions
Glad this is getting more attention. I got robbed too. Still pretty angry about it.

Really because whenever youtubers want to live their lives and/or spend time with their families, people get impatient
Good idea
At that if he doesn't have enough money, the vacation doesn't mean to go out, it just to take care of his family and himself without worrying about youtube
With what money? First we gotta get people on this.
This video made me really think that behind every successful KRplus channel there is an incredible amount of efforts and complications I never thought about... it just makes all the effort you make even more significant.
I wish you the best of luck in getting success from here on❤

As of the time I'm commenting, this video has reached 3.2M views in less than 24 hours
Currently on trending there's some Jimmy Kimmel style video uploaded 3 days ago with 650k views
How has something like this not hit trending yet, if KRplus's algorithm was impartial like they claim it is
Also depends on county. Pewds was no1 on some trending pages and in some counties its nothing. I feel like some countries trends are controlled a little bit but some are really left alone.
There's no algorithm for the Trending videos, those are picked out by people working at KRplus.
You think youtube WANTS this on trending? They'll never let this be there
I assume the trending page is mostly influenced by what KRplus thinks a general population will be interested in, not the stuff that is KRplus-niche specific.
