![]() He's a 23 year old millionaire "influencer". This may be a stunt on his part, but it's not sounding like it. [E! Online] On Wednesday, Aug. 5, the agency executed a federal search warrant at the 23-year-old YouTube star's Calabasas, Calif. home. The bureau confirmed to E! News that the search warrant is part of an ongoing investigation related to "allegations of criminal acts surrounding the incident at Scottsdale Fashion Square in May 2020." A spokesperson for the FBI's Phoenix unit said a search warrant was also executed in Las Vegas. Paul, who has amassed more than 20 million subscribers to his YouTube channel, is no stranger to controversy. In June, he was charged with criminal trespass and unlawful assembly for being at a protest that was declared unlawful. Police also alleged he illegally entered and remained inside an Arizona mall when it was closed. "Following the riots and looting that occurred on the evening of May 30th 2020 at Scottsdale Fashion Square mall, the Scottsdale Police Department received hundreds of tips and videos identifying social media influencer, Jake Joseph Paul (23), as a participant in the riot," police said in a statement at the time. "Our investigation has revealed that Paul was present after the protest was declared an unlawful assembly and the rioters were ordered to leave the area by the police." |

#2 Pretty sure this was the same jerk who put the body of a person who killed themselves in Japan's "suicide forest" on YouTube and could potentially have gotten himself legal consequences there (the Japanese media and government collude to give the families of those people privacy when possible, over there). |
