New claims suggest FBI raid of ICE_POSEIDON wasn’t for spoofing

Popular IRL streamer ICE_POSEIDON was raided by the FBI in a five-hour-long search on March 19, which some claimed to be the result of bomb threats under a “spoofed” phone number.

Following the raid, mass speculation ensued as to its actual cause; however, popular Twitch streamer Boneclinks revealed allegations that could point to a different explanation than ‘spoofing,’ as stated during a broadcast on March 21.

“I’ve got information from people who have contacts within police departments, who say that it was not a ‘spoofing’ number situation,” Boneclinks claimed. “It was actually an ongoing investigation for a long time against DJ and against ICE_POSEIDON.”

While Boneclinks gave no hint as to what prompted the investigation, he likewise claimed that ICE_POSEIDON is no longer allowed to stream within the state of California – likely in relation to the scandal.

That’s not all; according to Boneclinks, all streamers in the CX Network’s streaming mansion were kicked out, aside from ICE_POSEIDON and one other broadcaster.

Drama Alert’s Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem reported that the raid was possibly performed due to bomb threats under a ‘spoofed’ phone number of POSEIDON’s, while others felt that it could have been the result of his alleged ‘Ponzi scheme’ business model.
