DogPack404 claimed that in one instance, MrBeast celebrated hitting 40million subscribers by supposedly giving away cash prizes to random fans who ordered a signed shirt. "During those five hours I counted 46 illegal lotteries," the individual said.

The individual claimed he worked as an "ideation specialist" for MrBeast. He shared parts of what appears to be a non-disclosure agreement with the MrBeast logo on X, to show he had worked for the company. The Mirror US has approached MrBeast's and DogPack404's representatives for comment.
