Ed(techsource) Just announced that his office was robbed.

His office was robbed and I would like to see what you guys think about this, I've made a gofundme. Please make sure to share this link!

It's terrible that it happened, but why on earth did he have $100.000 worth of equipment in an office with no insurance?

[oofoofoof]

He had more, that was just my goal.

sorry, but we cannot allow funding links on the forums..

 

if they ran the media channel as a business, the business insurance will kick in to get back to creating media content.

"no one told him" he needed insurance.

Going to be a hard lesson for sure.

 

(just referring to the insurance thing, not the funding rule in any way)

Wait so his office was robbed, and you made a gofund me to get all the money?

That could be a bit suspicious.

It is a terrible thing that happened,

but if he needs some money, he would probably ask for it.

personally I'm bummed that he might not be able to trust anyone else for collabs now ._.

Especially after that Setup Makeover dude who ended up listing the setup for sale... It's been a hard year for Techsource.

Personally I'm not a big fan of his channel, and actually kinda hated his videos because I don't like his personality. I do wish him the best though.

Last time I saw him he judged people’s setups or something. It’s original and all but not a great way to make friends

[aezakmi]

wait, so the only thing between the street and his office was a thin garage door?

 

really

Life lesson in buying insurance WHEN YOUR GOD DAMN SETUP IS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS

JESUS HOW STUPID ARE THESE YOUTUBERS

It's not always possible to get insurance. For example, when we were still smaller and based out of a house rather than a commercial space, it was basically impossible for us to insure ourselves for the full amount of our gear. 

 

Of course we are doing everything properly these days, but I'm just saying it's not always black and white.

but he didn't even inquire. Even if he thought he had renters through the building, that never covers that much. I have 25k worth and I think I can get at least 50k for my home, which I might do soon since I have a lot of electronics. And it may not have covered everything but it made a dent. It's really lazy and careless to have 100k of crap and not know what will happen in a fire or robbery. Add that to the fact that he's a person who is likely to be doxed and shows off expensive shit on camera.

Remember, the guy does shit like this

 

doesn't get the benefit of the doubt.

The guy might be a Douche bag, but there’s no evidence of wrongdoing (besides pure ignorance about insurance) here. 

 

I have ave no reason to doubt his version of events about the theft. 

 

Besides, what would be the point? He didn’t make a go fund me, so he’s not trying to make money directly from it.

If I recall correctly, that's why the CSF break-in prank worked so well.

No Insurance, No sympathy

[Gunbust3r]

The same Ed who runs giveaways and then looks at your twitter to decide if you are worthy? Don't dare enter another sweep because you are only allowed to RT or promote HIS giveaways.

 

My sympathy is very limited for him.

[NelizMastr]

Wel, for some lucky robber he was a source of tech, alright
