FaZe Banks stepped down as FaZe CEO after crypto scam claims tied to Adin Ross, denying wrongdoing and calling the narrative unfair and damaging.
Faze Banks, the esports content creator, announced on Friday that he is stepping down as the CEO of his organization, FaZe. In a statement posted on his social media handle, the popular streamer said that he is stepping down amid allegations of a scam from Crypto and streamer Adin Ross.
"I've never scammed anyone a day in my f------ life," Banks wrote in the statement. "The entire narrative is unfair, and part of the reason it exists is cause my 'FaZe' name is so easily framed and manipulated."
The fact that this is affecting the guys at all, is whack," the 33-year-old continued. "So for the time being I’m gunna be stepping away from not only FaZe, but all this internet shit. It’s destroying my life inside and out.
