So we came across our favorite hordeman’s Youtube channel (watch for coarse COARSE language), and he starting posting videos about Smash leaks similar to the likes of LaxChris, as a very raunchy and hateful parody towards those kinds of Youtubers who cover obviously fake leaks for ad revenue and Patreon supporters. Specifically, he started posting these the day after the original text leak containing the Grinch Cast™ was posted (now formally known as “The Chadondorf Post”). He posted videos covering parody fake smash leaks daily, constantly referencing how the ESRB leak revealing Smash 4′s roster was revealed “45 DAYS BEFORE LAUNCH”.
45 days before the launch of Smash Bros Ultimate, we get our Grinch Leak, and in future videos, this guy starts going on more angry rants about how “YO YOU SMASH LEAK COVERERS YOU DONT KNOW WHATS REAL SO DONT PRETEND YOU DO”, and through a couple comments and tweets, it becomes apparent that he’s connected in some way. And now since all eyes are on him, and he could face serious legal repercussions, he’s been backpedalling BIG TIME as the day goes by.
A few more things show up, and it looks like (not confirmed obviously, this is the most recently speculated turn of events) the story is that his friend DM’d him the Grinch Pic way back when. He thinks that it’s a fake and decides to hold onto it so that he can troll the world big time come the 45 days before mark. He drops it (either assuming it’s a fake for trolling or out of hubris because it’s he knows its real), and now the world is looking at it with more and more evidence that it might be real, so he backpedals and tries to take his name off the leak so Nintendo doesn’t obliterate him.
If it’s real, he’s responsible for leaking sensitive information from Nintendo, can get sued by Nintendo AND by his friend (or friend of a friend or complete stranger) Eric who he had either tried to frame or who is also in trouble for breaking NDA.
If it’s fake, then Rosalina dude gets sued like hell by BOTH printing companies thought to be a part of this fiasco because it severely damages their reputations and their relationship with Nintendo.
well i guess this is it
