A serious car accident in mid 2012 around a year after the incident he'd gone to create a twitch account before gaining a reputation for his personality, gaming skills and finally, his physical disability. As a wheelchair, streamer within one zillion, ope had become a twitch partner and was streaming to an audience of between 200 and 400 viewers per stream leading to subscriptions and donations, fueled in part by zillion's unfavorable physical circumstances, as so what physical circumstances as a whole in The beginning, there was absolutely no reason as to why the audience might assume that, for some reason, zillion wasn't actually disabled. That would be until january 2013, approximately six months after beginning his streaming journey, when zillion op's, promotional facebook page will be hacked creating initial suspicions that his apparent disability was nothing more than one giant hoax. The hacker who seemed to have known zillion personally began publicly posting to the facebook page in posts that confidently suggested zillion was able to walk and was therefore a fraudster, swindling sympathy money from his audience.

Don't get angry zillion just walk away from the computer for a minute. I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's a chip in button for a charity. Let me steal your money, maybe we're not like you, sir. We wouldn't mess with your paypal.

Unlike you, we're above stealing money from those in need, hey guys, i'm sick donate to me to pay my hospital bills, i'm giving away a keyboard that was given to me by another fool who doesn't care that i scare my viewers for money, hi guys who wants To raise money for something jesus is a new set of legs. Did some squats tonight my thighs are on fire. Please stop ddosing my legs in spite of these post hints, okay, didn't post any actual evidence, proving that this was in fact the case. Therefore, zillion's facebook audience simply assumed that the hacker was a troll who was using the opportunity to publicly mock zillion's handicap status.

However, in light of these posts, the audience would notice that zilean did have a history of engaging in fraudulent activity for his own personal gain. For example, on the 10th of january 2013, just 10 days before his facebook was hacked, he'd be banned on diablo 3 as a result of beginning his stream. Whilst having a botting script active, the incident will be shared to reddit, where it received over 700 uploads with a pokemon guys. I don't want to be worried about this again, because i want to be weird.

Okay, i agree that people should be banned all the time and whatever the okay, but there's some games that don't give a about botters they just don't they just don't do, but they ban streamers that do it when they're sleeping when everybody does it. I don't want to be this fast, the andy of oh, they do it so i'll. Do it too, but, like i think, as a company, you have to make it a duty to show people that you care about something or you do something. Okay or you care about it, not only when streamers do it.

Okay, it hasn't equal. You can use a streamer as as an example ban them to show everybody right, hey guys what happens if you do it, but if you only do it to uh to streamers. It's just kind of like it's just kind of lame post and also explaining that zillion lied to his audience about the band stating that it was for accountability as opposed to reality. The craziest comment on this entire post was without a doubt this one.

It makes me question whether he is really in a wheelchair. Maybe it's all just part of the act, how they know well, if you're, if your account is active and playing the game 23 24 hours a day, okay for eight days straight, that's you should almost immediately bend the account. I'm sorry, but this comment was only speculation. If you wan na, send a ticket and say hey, i didn't actually cheat here's the proof, yeah you're chilling, but otherwise just bend it.

What what that's just? Nobody plays the game for a full week straight without stopping farming. The same thing with the same behaviors. It is so obvious to see the scripts in it in time. Four months later, on the fifth of april 2013, something would happen while zillion was streaming proving this reddit comment correct, whilst ending zillion's entire career in the process, all right check it out get get on your mountain follow me.

Maybe i don't want to follow you when it's easily out geared our dog. Oh my god, we took our dog um like to the fish shop today, because the dog loves just like going out and meeting new people. We constantly have to take him to like. Oh, this is so cute, like he's cuddling with me, because he's scared, if you believe that actions speak louder than words zillion.

Turning his camera downwards, to hide his empty wheelchair was basically the same as him saying. I've just exposed myself doing something that i definitely shouldn't have been doing. His girlfriend seemed to realize this as well. She was the one in the background of the call telling the story about their dog.

The second zillion gets up. She pauses mid-sentence, then lets out a very panicked. Oh my god, oh my god, before going on to tell some very rushed, possibly improvised story about heading to the fish shop: nah, no shots. Okay, yeah! I think the story is true, but i don't think it's cheap right, let's about heading to the fish shop earlier that day after zillion's camera was turned away from his empty wheelchair.

The stream would end. However, the chat would continue to discuss what they had just seen and seemingly in a state of panic. Zillion joined the discussion by both gaslighting and lying to his audience about what had just happened, guys guys, i'm just saying maybe they're in the same room or something like that guys back in the days the twitch delay was like three seconds: that's somebody's did zil. Just stand lol! No, i fell.

I pushed off my chair and ate it. Oh my gosh zil, i'm gon na say it did. Look like you stood up. Is he alright lol? He got back to the keyboard.

He is okay, i'm pissed and in pain. Wait. So the stream's over i need to fix myself and my dog dumped water on everything i will try and be back. It hurts to breathe.

I hit my side on the corner of the desk. Poor zil, i'm gon na die for a few. I will try to be back soon. Is he walking yeah he stood up and walked.

Then the camera went off the viewer known as indie rocker who'd written. This final message would then take to reddit shortly thereafter continuing the discussion around what had just happened. Indie rocker here felt so gypped when i saw him stand up and walk called it out and all my comments were deleted straight away. Wish i hadn't donated money to this guy zilian, deleting any comments calling him out instantly suggested that he was guilty.

His story didn't exactly add up either if he had really fallen out of his seat. How was he able to get up and move the camera so that it was no longer facing the empty wheelchair? Additionally, after the vod was clipped, viewers noticed that zillion walked away without any problems, as seen in the reflection of the fish tank behind him, and in the wake of this discovery, the fraudulent moment will be shared to every class jesus. The person who originally hacked a zillion's facebook partner 180 people find the clip prompting him to log into the page once again before making another hacked post, which stated so what a day i wake up to be informed of what has happened. I read all the articles.

All i can say is karma. You deserve everything you have coming to your zillion. I do hope you put those legs to use and get a real job. You owe a lot of people money now.

What i find funny about this is your terrible cover-up of it. All the streaming business is a much better place without creeps like you in it, oh, and by the way, this isn't james, it's matt in brackets, hypno. You fall with hypno being an old friend that zillion used to stream with from around one year prior. However - and i told you so hacked facebook status was only the beginning of the repercussions against zillion op, when twitch would learn of the fraudulent activity.

His account would be banned permanently with an official statement by twitch reading the twitch broadcaster xilian op did indeed have his channel closed and his partnership contract terminated on the basis of flawed moving forward, we'll be offering refunds to those who subscribe to his channel through twitch. We have zero tolerance for this type of behavior and the character demonstrated in this situation is truly reprehensible. His actions are a huge slap in the face to twitch community members with real disabilities, such as aeron and groups such as ablegamers, who have helped spread a message of inclusiveness and positivity to not only the twitch community but gaming as a whole. However, this was still only the surface of what would become the zillion op disability, rabbit hole in july 2013, just three months after his massive expose, a user by the name of inigo montoya tv would upload a video, titled, zilean and panthoria mate omfg, in which zillion Can be seen standing up straight with seemingly no need for any wheelchair assistance.

There's zillion he has legs, it should be. It's live they're gon na go nuts they're gon na be like what zillion, because no one's seen you since it went, doesn't look like this one. No, he has no beard. Look at this, no beard look at how much he lifts.

Interestingly. Zillion had also shoved his beard, making him almost unrecognizable, which might have been a deliberate move to avoid further public humiliation, the beard would make a comeback when zillion started streaming on hitbox tv in two thousand, oh sure he could find little success, given his obliterated reputation. So there was really no discussion about the streamer for seven whole years between 2013 and 2020.. However, this would change once again when the internet would discover a channel that looks suspiciously familiar going by the name of it's bluish.

The streamer running this suspicious page was clearly zillion and it would hilariously be the person who originally hacked his facebook page in 2013. Who would once again expose him on the livestream, fascinating, dude, streamer, zillion op banned for faking? A disability has returned under a new, alias and just got partnered. However, wait you got this partnership with the story. Wait, you probably got affiliated.

No, you got partner. These. These partners are handed out manually, i'm trying to get a bit of an interesting turn resilient. Having someone of an audience once again, he'd begin to put forward numerous pieces of evidence showing that he had actually been in a wheelchair during the early days of his streaming career in one notable moment, he'd pull up his facebook before showing numerous wheelchair photos, whilst out In public just prior to beginning his streaming journey, my beard's much shorter there i was in a wheelchair beforehand.

Uh me at concerts, okay, but why is my man my man's using a camera doing negatives? I don't get it guys. Am i crazy? Why is the camera having his inverted colors man? What the is this, but is wall street out in public just prior to beginning his streaming journey, my beard's much shorter there i was in a wheelchair uh me at concerts me out. Traveling me out doing everything. This was just like i was in a wheelchair uh.

I did get better and i am obviously no longer in a wheelchair unless, for some reason, zillion had lived a year of his life in a wheelchair for the sole purpose of looking disabled prior to beginning his streaming journey, it was basically confirmed that zillion was most Certainly disabled or at least had been temporarily. This is where wavy web surf comes into the mix who's. Another youtuber here on the platform. Many of you will already know exactly who he is, but we'll still leave a link to his channel in the description below after wavy web surf would learn of zillion's return in june 2020, in conjunction with the newly found evidence that zillion was disabled, at least to Some degree wavy web surf would conduct an hour-long interview with zillion to get the full story from his perspective.

Throughout the interview it feels as though zilean is speaking in a way that's truthful. It doesn't feel like he's trying to hide anything so under the assumptions. Here's what they discovered, firstly, zillion wasn't lying about either the car accident or needing to be in a wheelchair. I was in a wheelchair for two years.

I was in a car accident which put me in a wheelchair for more than a year prior to streaming and therefore the disability was never fabricated out of the blue in order to gain extra donations - and you know with these these facebook, because if this isn't coming His career kind of died and he's got like like nothing left in that regard right. This is the thing that can spark somebody back to life pretty much, and it's like you want to like reward scumminess, because just by you showing those photos that you created a fake, you know dis, disabled personality, that's completely not true and correct. The problem was that at some point in the journey there was clearly a shift from not being able to walk to being able to walk. When i started streaming, i needed it like completely.

Okay, it was my 100 go-to. If i needed to go to the bathroom i was getting in out of my bed pushing myself in a chair and going to the back. However, none of this was disclosed, so you can't change, i think, like i always say i think, between being cancelled but then being cancelled, right and doing a crime there's like a big gap right. So if you say a bad words and do something bad right, that's you know you can change yeah if you make a scheme that lasts for years of being disabled and do a legitimate fraud, which is a crime yeah.

I think there's a big difference in between and i think you being acting like a little ass within the two centers there's no between you're a degenerate yeah, that's yeah, yeah, that's fraud that is legitimate fraud, yeah. What about a billion at any time? That is, fraud? Absolutely 100 explanation about where he was at in his journey was one of his people. If you misrepresent, if you misrepresent why you're getting funds and why why you need funds for a certain thing right like like you, the disability put donations right and you're. Not that's! That's fraud, your shortcomings.

Do you feel like you? How does that look that like, when you are integrating your disability so much in stream that it may have put off a certain image that you were wheelchair-bound when you weren't? Are you willing to admit that perhaps not updating people was? This was a mistake. It was my biggest mistake, not updating people. I should have been open about the recovery from day one. My wheelchair is part of my stream and it's something where people see me do wheelies and something people see me stuck in.

I should 100 have been like hey guys today at physical therapy. I walked two steps: yeah that would have helped whatever what an exciting day for me - and i didn't say it now - the way that zillion talks about his past mistakes clearly shows that he's learned his lesson. He knows that he approached it terribly yet, despite his clear remorse, for what you might call the mismanagement of the situation, twitch would still remove his new. It's bluish account for ban evasion.

It seems a little unfair, given his clear display of remorse, as well as the fact that it happened over nine years ago. Now, however, it did seem like twitch was in the process of unbanning. His oj zillion account. So perhaps he'll have another opportunity to do his streaming in the future.

Interesting that wasn't a horrible take dude holy man. Imagine did imagine comparing actual fraudulent behavior to somebody saying a bad word. That's to me! That's like the most brain numbing i've ever seen in my life. Give me you.
