"This is my attempt to break free": Twitch streamer DNP3 reveals crippling gambling addiction, says he used up investor funds

Twitch streamer and crypto advisor DNP3 recently shared a Twitlonger detailing his crippling addiction to gambling and how he used up his life savings and funds from investors to try to even out his losses from gambling.

The content creator and crypto enthusiast apologized to his supporters, fans, and family whose trust he had broken. Speaking of the guilt and shame he felt regarding the situation, DNP3 said that the confession was his way to "break free" from a life of gambling:

Gambling has been a contentious topic in the Twitch community over the last few months. The ban on certain gambling practices, which went into effect back in October, was directly responsible for Trainwreckstv's Kick.com emerging as an alternative streaming platform in recent weeks.

That said, the initial pushback by certain streamers and people in the streaming community was also due to a similar revelation by a streamer, ItsSliker, who committed fraud by using money from viewers and friends to fuel his gambling addiction.

DNP3's revelation is not that different since he is associated with various crypto projects such as CluCoin and GoobersNFT. Because of this, he had access to funds from people who invested in some of these projects and illegally used them to gamble. Here's what he had to say in the Twitlonger:

Many of DNP3's supporters have made it clear that his addiction to gambling was not an excuse to commit fraud. One user asked him to step down from crypto projects because he stole from supporters:

Many of his followers were of the same opinion:

Many wished him the best and hoped that he would make a quick recovery:

As pointed out by many in the tweet's response thread, the crypto world has a lot of scams and pump-and-dump schemes. Coffeezilla
