I was initially skeptical because some of the accusations were extremely flimsy once they were expanded upon, and others were just never substantiated, but one girl, Lily LaBeau, mentioned a specific shoot for Kink.com and that shit is on video being handled the way she said.
The shoot was specifically on their TheUpperFloor brand, which is a livestream site, and according to her he brought up a cattle prod, which is one of her hard limits, which he was explicitly told, and when he did they kicked him out. You don’t see him being reprimanded and kicked out cause they cut to a different feed but you do see him disappear halfway through the shoot with no explanation and that does seem suspicious given he was one of the headline stars of the shoot.
So in short:
The accusations are credible given at least one is backed by video
He has been largely blacklisted and only works for himself now

Of course they can, but why should they? There’s nothing to lose for them (or anyone really) if they crowdfund it instead. It’s essentially a preorder and market research.
Like, you wouldn’t catch me dead paying into it but there’s nothing wrong with this strategy, until they steal the money and run, which they won’t because companies care about PR more than KS scammers do.
