Give gifts to followers on Twitch It is a common practice among most people, especially on special dates such as birthdays, channel anniversaries or during Christmas. However, sometimes things don’t go as planned and, by mistake, you can find yourself owing millions of euros.
This is precisely what happened to the streamer Vedal987, also known for being behind the popular AI-controlled V-Tuber, Neurosama. As part of a subathon, Vedal wanted to send his viewers five codes that would provide a 100% discount on a plush that normally sells for $30. However, the streamer was unaware that these codes were not single-use and could be used unlimited.
As expected, the audience took advantage of the mistake and began buying stuffed animals in large quantities. After a few minutes, Vedal realized that around five million stuffed animals in totalaccumulating an apparent debt of $150 million with the store.

Quickly, he realized that he was not really $30 million in the red; It was simply a mistake. After the incident, Vedal jokingly explained publicly how to file for personal bankruptcy so he wouldn’t have to face that huge sum of money.
Fortunately, everything was a scare and Vedal joked again with his followers, stating that all he needed was have more subscribers than anyone in Twitch history. Later, it was revealed that he chose to directly cancel all orders with the stuffed animal company, avoiding going into debt for the rest of his life.
