Asmongold revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation contacted him about a $30,000 bounty offered by another Twitch streamer, but he chose not to take action.

During his stream on November 8, a viewer told him that they had seen a clip of a “streamer putting a $30,000 bounty on him” and that they “were not banned.” In response, Asmon initially pointed out that the person responsible was “joking.”

After a long pause, he continued to provide further context about the event, saying, “The FBI even contacted me about it.” Explaining his reasons for his decision ‘not to press charges’, he continued: ‘I watched the clip again and she was clearly not talking about me so I thought it was a waste of time.’

Although Asmon initially did not name any specific people involved, a viewer later names former Blizzard employee Mark Kern, aka Grummz, as the actual target of the bounty, who is a Twitch streamer. Denims had jokingly offered $30,000 to anyone who can make Grummz ‘disappear’.

Toneman, who offered the original $20,000 bounty on Grummz, was banned from X/Twitter as a result.

“She wasn’t talking about me, so that’s why I didn’t push it, even though it could have been interpreted that way,” Asmon concluded.

Before this conversation, Asmon talked about the ban on Twitch streamer Central Committee after comments they made about YouTube and Kick content creator Destiny.

Regarding the latter, Central Committee, aka Mike from PA, said: “Holy guys, if you live in Florida, I have an opportunity for you. If you want to make $100,000, let me know.”

Although the duration of the ban is unknown, the Central Committee later admitted that they “deserved the ban,” claiming the statement was a “joke.”

Asmongold is of course no stranger to being banned for controversial comments after making a timeout for two weeks from Twitch in October for his commentary on Palestine.
