It's funny but ngl this is kinda sad. Yeah the dad messed up, but randomly being on the hook for $118k is devastating for a family.

    Sucks but ending the channel after spending all that money on advertising is the wrong move, it sounds to me like what your son needs is another round of investment. Have you considered pivoting to AI-enhanced content?

    He probably should have been fired when he bought Robux on the company credit card the first time.

    IIRC he did the purchase using his personal CC, but his account also had his work CC linked

    Dave said he entered the company card himself to buy Robux for his son, and it then sat saved on the Google account that also carries his work email, calendar, and files. Dave did not say why he used the company card for that purchase.

    Doesn't sound that way in the article

    Lol just look at the channel, 400 views, 300 views, some has 1k views and some random ones has 120k views. I don't see how is a problem, the ad campaign did work.
