“This is how far motherf*cker will go. They stopped him from donating $50,000. They said it was a scam. And worst of all hundreds of thousands of people watching him think this is a scam. They lied and said I am filling my pockets while we are raising funds…” said the Hasan Piker after he caught the wind of the situation. 

In the end, Speed understood his mistake and made his donations. He donated $2000 four times. Making his total donation, $8000. Though the sum was significantly lower than what he had promised to give initially, HasanAbi and his community were still very grateful to speed for his help.
