Title: Twitch.tv streamer fakes being paralyzed, makes off with $20k and walks on cam

A bearded man in a wheelchair who has been playing video games live over the internet for the past two years suddenly got up and walked around late last night. Clearly, this is nothing short of a late Easter miracle. The female voice in the video is his un-paralyzed girlfriend who seems to be surprised by his getting up and walking, but immediately goes on to reminisce about a strange story involving their dog and a fish store. (the female mind can be so flighty at times) The man in question Angel Hamilton ( going by the name of ZillianOP ) left his webcam on in his twitch channel and captured the miracle for all to see. His twitch.tv channel (http://www.twitch.tv/zilianOP) has since been closed, most likely due to his ability to now go out and enjoy the outside world. Over the months as he was streaming on twitch.tv Angel was able to solicit over $20,000 in donations and stream earnings. These donations were used to purchase many items seen on his stream including electronics, a $2,000+ wheelchair and $5,000 to move across to country and live near his girlfriend (Panthoria).

The guy is a piece of shit, but I'm sure after "internet justice" I'm going to feel sympathetic for him.

Read about this yesterday. Amazing stuff. I love how his girlfriend tried to salvage the situation with a dumb story like it's not on video. Dude's a prick, but he's found the right girl to hold it for him.

I've seen many a questionable donation drive on twitch, but usually they're vague and just say "donate if you want to or don't" which is fair enough.  But this dude...just wow.

Perpetuating ironic racism on the Internet, is like a more abstract crowding of the Jews into murder rooms.

In the forthcoming race wars, well we'll probably see.

Rufous, why do you think Madonna has a thing about adopting negro almost-orphan children?

She published a book called SEX a while back, tastefully done, black and white pics. A few pictured her, as an old woman, being molested, by virile negroes.

It's pretty obvious now.

Despite how much he deserves it, I don't think anyone should do that to Martin Raperman.

You are right, of course.

If someone broke his legs he could keep posting.  It's obviously his fingers we should be worrying about.

He could dictate to another person or to some speech recognition software. Better cut off his tongue.

Bait taken.

Armstrong did not commit charity fraud as his deception wasn't used to obtain contributions to a non-existent charity. The Armstrong Foundation is very much a charity.

How can you just sit there and be so casually sociopathic?  People were HURT by this and their confidence was destroyed!  I wish you would just crawl into a hole and starve to death you terrible human being.  May your whole family be raped.

someone gave a guy $1000 yesterday cause he's good at Mario 64 (well, not just good...he's got the world record for speed.)   Notch gave the same guy $500.   This probably spurred on a bunch of other people who wanted to be part of something to donate as well. 

twitch celebs...it's a thing.

pretending to be a wheelie over two years netted him 20k? Is this in addition to having a job or in place of it, because that isn't all that much over that span of time.

And Don, I thought Notch gave the mario speed-runner $1337, you know, cus internet humor circa 1999.
