In November 2021, Roblox Corporation filed a lawsuit against YouTube Gaming content creator Benjamin "Ruben Sim" for allegedly shutting down the gaming platform's developer's conference (RDC) in October 2021 after posing a false terrorist threat to the conference. Today, Simon sent a request to his nearly 45,000 Twitter followers to help him pay for the legal troubles he endured.After also accusing him of allegedly hacking into the website to access the gaming platform after being banned, Roblox requested a total payment of $1.65M in damages.“Defendant Simon is the leader of a ‘cybermob’ that with malice, fraud, and oppression, commits and encourages unlawful acts designed to injure Roblox and its users.”Simon has continuously denied the allegations Roblox Corporation pinned against him and mentioned that he was prepared to fight his way to victory. He even referenced Roblox's own conduct as a company and their failure to correctly moderate user-generated content.Today, nearly eight months after the lawsuit, Simon took to Twitter to plead with his followers to help him cover the legal costs of the lawsuit.He said,"My only reasonable option was to hire a lawyer. The retainer alone was $10,000 and completely wiped out my savings."ruben sim 🇹🇼@realRubenSimI've set up a GoFundMe to cover my legal costs from the Roblox lawsuit and accompanying video series.

Ruben did not promote terrorism, upload nudity pictures or commit any fraud. These weren’t him. He only does videos and makes satirical jokes on YouTube for fun.
