“MrBeast’s Secret Telegram Group Sparks FBI Investigation: What You Need to Know!”
Around the same time, a former employee of MrBeast, named DogPack404 on YouTube, posted a video where he interviews Jake Weddle, another former employee of MrBeast.
In the video, Weddle claimed MrBeast knowingly hired a registered sex offender during his time there, stating: “Well, there was a known sex offender, a registered sex offender, convicted sex offender on the registry and everything, who worked there.”
According to Weddle, MrBeast knew about the person’s alleged history of doing “not great stuff to some underage people” and that MrBeast “covered up the fact” that he worked there by putting him in masks on videos, as per Metro.

Weddle claimed this person, who no longer works at the company, was internally referred to as “Delaware.”
Jake Franklin, another former employee of MrBeast’s, subsequently confirmed the person was his brother-in-law in a statement on X.
In an X post explaining the situation, Franklin confirmed Delaware is a registered sex offender, after taking a plea deal with the person who accused him, with the charges set to be dropped later this year, Metro reported.
Other MrBeast fans were left disappointed earlier this month when Lunchly, the pre-packaged meal created by MrBeast and fellow YouTube stars Logan Paul and Olajide ‘KSI” Olatunji, was hit with claims that the packages contained mold.
Lunchly was framed as a slightly healthier alternative to Lunchables when it first launched, but those claims were quickly challenged by creators Pansino and YouTuber Doctor Mike, Forbes reported on Monday.
