Well. Lets be clear with the language. It certainly sounds like there's some underhanded or immoral business practices there, but it is not a "scam" in the traditional sense. He's not defrauding customers, but he may have screwed over a friend or competitor.
Scam has lost all meaning on LPSG. It is at the point where it no longer helps people to decide who to spend money on when so many things that are not a scam are called that.

Which is a shame, because honestly reviewing and discussing our transactions with people either on OF or elsewhere, is one of the ways this place can actually be most useful to all of us.

But I digress.

Carson's a very clever and enterprising guy and I don't doubt he looked into the all the legalities of this puzzle business and found that he technically did not owe this guy anything. The story is also one-sided, and this person my have overemphasized Carson's interest in partnering with him, etc. For the time being I'm going to assume the truth is somewhere in the middle, but maybe that's because I don't really care so much about puzzles.

However if anyone wants to talk more about how all the sexy content has basically disappeared from his IG subscriber tab, I'm all ears.

Carson has basically no sense of ethics. What he did to that other puzzle maker is unethical and is just one example of how he's kind of a trash person who simply wants to use anyone or anything he can for his gain. It's not illegal but just very shitty behavior that will bite him in the ass, and clearly it's starting to.

I wouldn't call him clever or enterprising, because clearly there's no depth to anything he's working on – overselling his role with NASA and using NASA in his pre-season merch drop to make money; his subscriber page and how not only he deleted most content with no communication but charges hundreds/thousands for nudes (all while pretending to be squeaky clean and flat out lying about his "holy" ethics in interviews); making a podcast with Carolyn where he was all about the ads from ep 1, which thankfully, presumably CBS shut down ASAP. I'm sure there's more.

Carson is a user and I fully believe this story because it lines up with everything else Carson has done. I want to like him and think he's so hot, but it's been mostly negative or sus over the last year of him. So disappointing.

I mean, there are some partial truths here. But you're also making an awful lots of assumptions that don't necessarily check out.

There aren't too many assumptions there. Everything I mentioned is pretty well established – the NASA thing, the sub page and how he uses it, the pod with Carolyn, the puzzles. Where there's smoke, my friend, there is often fire.

He's done nothing wrong with NASA or his Subscriber page. You're reading into what is basically a young guy taking advantage of his luck to get a little ahead in life, and there's nothing wrong with that.

The puzzle thing is thus far a one-sided story, and while it certainly sounds bad I think it's a tad early to totally condemn him for it.

I don't know enough about the podcast thing to comment, so I'll give you that one.

On the plus side if his puzzle business goes under maybe he'll pay more attention to his IG subscription again?

Seriously though it's probably in his best interest to reach out to the puzzle guy, make amends, and put this thing to bed as quickly as possible. Twitter is already dancing on his grave.

The smoke is coming from a very one sided source who wants you to have that image of Carson. He may have been shad, but we are lacking a lot of info to base a judgemeant on. For most here just the absence of nudes is enough to join the hate parade.

I mean we don't even know if he actually sold any nudes as no one here has even seen them.
