Part 8/11:
Regarding claims that some of his challenges were rigged or involved friends and employees, MrBeast maintained that while he occasionally needed to fill spots in challenges due to sickness, he did not intentionally manipulate outcomes. He highlighted that any personal relationships with contestants were disclosed and insisted on fairness in the challenges he organized.

Timid at first, MrBeast asserted that he was not directly involved in the management of the crypto fund but acknowledged that his name associated with it contributed to the problematic optics.
