BANSHEE GONE WILD IN HIS CONTINUOUS DYING SITUATION WITH MONEY
This document holds the growth of user @BansheeBoo's (rebranded on November 12th 2019 and was known as @Octobaby till late 2019. Also known by the given name: Brendon) activity on Twitter and the use of his money over time within his struggling situation with 'suppose’ bills, food/house security and his behaviour with usage of donations given. This report gives the activity of his debts from beginning of 2019 to 2020 (or most updated information given to this day) and including the money spent on items that are shown publicly online. Each timestamp will be represented as an ‘’ for the movement over time for this individual. There will also be a solo at the end of this documentation for other situations that have been upheld on suspicious behaviour of Brendon (Summer Stories ). We apologize if the screenshot images are hard to keep track of in the presentation of this document, we have tried our best to make this straight forward throughout its complexity on Twitter user BansheeBoo.
Beginning of the Main Timelines:
(These s within this timeline are focused on the money usage of BansheeBoo’s in his possession over time only. This also includes the behaviour of his out of control nature with money and discussions that have been focused on the topic. This includes public posts on his Twitter handle and his personal Discord server that has been gathered. A separate will be present at the bottom of the main Timeline for the questioning behaviours of the individual. There are five main s for this timeline to separate accordingly).
2019 Shenanigans
(Please proceed to scroll for the screenshots for this to follow along).
Proceeding with this document, we will be discussing Brendon’s usage of donations from the beginning of 2019 when he went by his former Alias, OctoBaby. From January 29, 2019/Screenshot no.1, Brendon began to ask his followers and mutuals for money in order to pay for bills after stating they were messed up. Throughout the year, he made 8 posts regarding donations and how he would be willing to accept them for bills and food due to becoming jobless (information regarding becoming jobless is out of our knowledge) and a LAN Major which will be discussed later on (in Segue into G7 ). He offered commissions but there is no indication of him accepting them, making the assumption that he is only receiving donations. Brendon has also started up a Twitch channel after becoming jobless in order to create content to stream (screenshot no.5). He tries to use it as a new source of income to receive donations and bits from his future audience.
During this, Brendon’s mother left to live in Florida and in the process, leaving Brendon behind and his grandmother to pay for the rest of the bills in the property in which they share together to this day. It is said by Brendon that his town is very small and finding work is very difficult. Considering that both live in this house, bills would most likely be paid by both parties to help support one another.

Segue into G7
(Refer to screenshots down below).
Brendon had taken an interest in wanting to attend G7 on the 26th of August 2019 (referring to screenshot no.1) and wondered if his audience would be happy to donate towards the tournament itself and hotel funds for the stay. He suggested that he might do commissions to save up for this event. His main goal was to enter the tournament and meet some friends; like every individual would do for these events. Brendon then announces on January 4th 2020 (referring to screenshot no.2) that his parents accepted on paying for his future bills and payment for emergency venue for G7/Genesis 7 as an early birthday gift. It is noted that Arashi (@ArashiOfThePast) has been aiding Brendon in trying to find a place to stay while at the G7 event. Throughout his next few tweets (screenshots no.3 - no.6) have all been related to begging on finding a room when his own was canceled by a hotel in a span of a month.
After these tweets, Brendon then goes on with judging the event he attended (screenshot no.7) without being much ready to attend a convention or on what to basically expect. Especially for an event that isn’t close to home for many individuals. His tweets have mainly been ‘personal opinions’ on the convention. It is always good to do reseh on convention utilities before attending your first one or first one in a while to prevent yourself from having many issues. It has been stated (in screenshot no.8) that bills have been good due to the aid of his parents chipping in more on bills for him and his Grandmother. He is also very determined to go to Riptide.
It will become very obvious to readers viewing this documentation that Brendon’s spending habits throughout the future ARKs and that conventions shouldn’t really be a big option for Brendon to take if he wants to stay up float with his situation with bills in the future as well as the rise of COVID 19 being more focused on at the beginning of the year. This also includes his behaviour and attitude to others in relation to his living situations and money usage.

Nintendo Switch Fan
(Read screenshots from left to right for this below).
Banshee’s Nintendo Switch became less functional due to the fans not functioning properly. Brendon decided to make the choice on purchasing another Nintendo Switch instead of sending his current one to be repaired by Nintendo. The reason being: he wanted to proceed in purchasing Animal Crossing New Horizons and play it once its release. Members of this server consulted with Brendon about his unsustainable purchase on a brand new console. Brendon supposedly didn’t do perfect research on how much getting the switch repaired would be/or fans. A member interacted on behalf of the purchased Switch comparing it to the 20 dollar fans that can be used for repairing the current console but Brendon said he was not going to listen to backlash (no.3 screenshot), according to not take ‘criticism’ from others who are trying to help his situation when relating to expenses. (Referring to screenshots no.1 - no.3).
This proceeds to members giving others suggestions to Brendon to change up his streaming why the current console can be processed in being repaired but Brendon backfires that he was meaning to get a new one, as for his three main points (screenshot no.7). They do not support his reasoning to get a completely new console when the current one can still be repaired and can also function with the three main points. His Wii U gamepad charger and Gamecube are both suspended (no.7 screenshot) at this time due to their own technical issues, regardless Brendon still has a PC that can also be used for games not just consoles. Changing it up a bit for a temporary period should not do any harm. He states that ‘I wouldn’t have been stupid enough to actually go through with it’ (referring to screenshot no.6) when expressing that he isn’t struggling with money issues at that particular time. A member also has said ‘You have constant financial issues, spending $300 on a whim is not a good idea’ hence relating back to 2019 (2019 Shenanigans) when he has begged multiple times for money towards his bills for his property.
Throughout this conversation on the topic, Brendon shows a condescending tone towards others’ who try to help his situation or interact about his choices on the matter. Many suggestions were made at alternatives still to encourage him to just get his current Switch repaired, although Brendon continues to make excuses to go through with his actions on the new Switch. For plain knowledge, it should not be too hard to purchase some batteries for a wii remote or replace a gamepad charger but continues to say (referring to screenshot no.8) ‘im gameless atm.’ instead of considering the alternative suggestions that can positively be acted on. Nintendo also repairs consoles as fast as they can with their services for their customers (e.g: A joycon(s) repair/DS screen repair can take at least a week before being contacted for pick up. Information on fan repair is out of our knowledge but may take the same timeframe as the other console malfunctions mentioned). He then continues with his snobby attitude (‘okay cool you do you.’ on screenshot no.8) towards other members over their concern for his life situation at home. Brendon assures that he is fine and has all the utilities that he needs for survival.

Spree of April 2020
(All prices stated are in USD currency. Please refer to the screenshots below for this).
Throughout Mh-April 2020, Banshee’s economic status began to be stable through his Animal Crossing: New Horizon Tarantula Commissions in order to raise some money for his necessities. However, this financial stability only lasted for a short period of time as his spending habits were not able to keep up with this influx of commissions. First, on April 9th, he had bought himself a Samsung Tab A tablet (no.3-4 screenshots) in which his grandma offered to give him $125 USD for the tablet while he paid the other half of the price. This tablet is meant to be used in order to draw for himself and to possibly open commissions for his financial issues. All together, the tablet costs $250 USD.
On April 19th, he bought himself a PS4 with the Persona 5 Royal Steel book edition on April 19th (no.11 screenshot). So far, that’s an estimate of $585 USD without tax added in. However, his spending continued as he commissioned many artists on Twitter around this time period from April 5th all the way to July 2nd (no.5-10 screenshots for the users) with an estimate of $150-200 USD being spent (there could also be more commissions out there that we may have not located or found for this document and the estimate price shown might be bigger than expected from our investigation into BansheeBoo). He stated he was waiting for streaming equipment to arrive on April 23rd (screenshot no.12) for his ever growing Twitch career (the total of the equipment has not been said and is out of our knowledge to find the exact price due to multiple brands existing). This would be a grand estimate of around $900-1,000 USD in just a single month.
For a person who deals with many financial situations since 2019, this would not be one of the best decisions to make. There is no progression of being hired for a job due to COVID 19 (which is also out of his control at this very moment) and the constant begging on his account for donations towards his situations with bills. Later on, he explains in a thread (no.13 screenshot) emphasizing “and while yes, I have been treating myself lately with a PS4 and games. I am doing fine and will be for a while.” With his indication, it seems he is conscious of his financial decisions yet chooses to treat himself often through games, commissions, streaming equipment, etc instead of saving up on the side for these future bills not to affect his mental health and desperate need of donations which will be explained in From Prospering to Poverty. He states his only income at the moment is Twitch yet fails to mention that his grandma is currently supporting him and the bills in which they should be sharing in payment wise for the property they live in. It is also stated (in screenshot no.13) that he will be opening commissions now that he has a tablet to help support his living condition for the future bills (it should be noted that Brendon barely updates on what he spends his donations/money on when bills become a problem, failing to show his audience his proper living situations while spending on multiple things with the same money that is given into his possession).

From Prospering to Poverty
At the start of May 1st, 2020, Banshee posted a twitlonger indicating that he had gotten back into debt due to his grandmother experiencing a sudden financial crisis of $-1,600 USD being lost due to fraud. This fraud has caused many charge backs to the artists he has commissioned from April to July 2020 on their paypals. He couldn’t have the support from his family members due to COVID 19 or other situations that we have no knowledge of and asked for donations from his followers (no.1-2 screenshots). Credit card frauds can most likely be disputed in the United States so his grandmother would be able to get her stolen money back. Throughout the month, he continues to ask for donations and money because of his current situation yet he would not have been this deep into debt if he had not treated himself as much (Spree of April 2020 ) in April.

Separated Timeline from the Main Timeline:
(This timeline is disconnected from the first due to other circumstances that have been present over time on Twitter and in Discord servers BansheeBoo has actively been a part of. The timeline focuses on the questioning behaviour of BansheeBoo and should be held accountable due to uncomfortable allegations being made and evidence that have been shown and gathered in time of 2019. Please note that questioning behaviour of BansheeBoo in 2020 is not on record in this documentation. There is one for this second timeline).

Go ahead and tell me why that’s true and how it’s okay.
