Nelk Boys are not just an entertainment group on YouTube. They have become a symbol of how harmless internet pranks can be turned into an empire of deception and exploitation. From teenage pranks to promoting dubious crypto schemes and online casinos, they have steadily crossed the line, becoming leaders in making money off their gullible fans. Today, we will expose all their dirt, breaking down how they use their millions of subscribers and lead them down the path to ruin. You can read more detailed investigations in our special section.

The Beginning — Pranks Aiming for Scandal

So, who are the Nelk Boys? The founder and brain behind this venture is Kyle Forgeard, who, along with his buddies Stephen Deleonardis (known as SteveWillDoIt) and Salim Sirur, started with harmless pranks on YouTube. In 2015, they began gaining popularity thanks to viral videos like the famous "Coke Prank on Cops," where they made police officers think they had cocaine in their car, when in fact, it was just Coca-Cola.

They pressed all the public's buttons—risk, conflict with the law, and absolutely crazy humor. The result? Millions of views, money, and attention.

But attention needed to be maintained, and the audience demanded more and more shocking content. The Nelk Boys began raising the stakes, becoming more radical in their antics. They didn’t just tease the police; they endangered the safety of their subscribers by organizing mass gatherings that ended in arrests and legal issues. But that was just the beginning.

The Path to Wealth Through Casinos — Real Predators

At some point, the Nelk Boys realized that pranks alone wouldn't take them far. Real money had to be earned elsewhere, and then the idea appeared that revolutionized their business—online casinos. They partnered with platforms like Stake, which allow streamers to play with fake money. The strategy was simple: they promoted the casino, showing their young subscribers that they could become millionaires overnight.

But as you understand, the reality is much darker. Online casinos are a black hole where money gets sucked in, and very few come out alive. The Nelk Boys show their viewers a sweet life—luxury cars, villas, parties with top celebrities, creating the illusion that all of this is accessible thanks to casinos. But the truth is that they themselves never risk their money. All their so-called winnings are staged, and the money that goes to all these parties is earned from their subscribers' pockets.

How Does Their Scheme Work?

How does this scheme work? Approximately like this: the Nelk Boys create content where they play on Stake or other casino platforms, showing huge wins and success. But what they don’t say is that these platforms usually pay them for promotion, and their "game" carries no financial risks for them. Viewers, mostly young and impressionable, believe that they too might get lucky. They register using Nelk's links, start playing, and lose everything. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

No warnings about risks, no honest comments. The Nelk Boys essentially lure their audience into a gambling trap, and the only ones who win in this game are themselves. The profit? Millions of dollars from casino commissions, which get new victims with each new registered account. Now imagine how many kids and teenagers watch their streams, how many people have lost their money, families, and future.

NFT — A New Wave of Deception

If casinos aren't shocking enough, the Nelk Boys went even further and launched an NFT scam. In early 2022, they launched a project called Full Send Metacard, offering fans unique tokens that supposedly gave access to exclusive events, parties, and even business opportunities. 23 million dollars were earned on these digital "cards" in just a few days.

But here's the catch: after a few months, it became clear that the Nelk Boys' promises were empty. The owners of these NFTs mostly received meaningless discounts and access to events that no one cared about. The tokens lost 75% of their value, and those who invested in this project ended up with empty wallets and shattered hopes. Soon, Nelk removed all mentions of the project from their pages, leaving thousands of deceived fans alone with their problem.

Legal Issues and Run-Ins with the Law

Of course, all these actions couldn’t go unnoticed by the law. The Nelk Boys have repeatedly ended up in court. For example, in 2021, they were involved in a lawsuit due to a prank where they created a fake meth lab. The unsuspecting courier delivering an order there was so scared that he sued them for physical and moral damages.

Another episode involving the Nelk Boys is their constant violation of pandemic rules. In 2020, they gathered a crowd of fans in Illinois, which led to mass arrests and fines. State authorities threatened to sue them for violating quarantine laws.

Why Are the Nelk Boys Still Popular?

It’s a logical question: how do the Nelk Boys, after all these scandals and blatant schemes, still remain popular? The answer is that they promote themselves as "folk heroes" challenging the system. They manipulate their audience's emotions by presenting themselves as those who live "the dream," using the image of bad boys who do whatever they want.

But the truth is that they are just cynical dealers who know how to exploit their audience for personal gain. They have no moral boundaries when it comes to money. And the more their fans believe that the Nelk Boys live a free and fun life, the deeper they fall into the trap.

What’s Next?

The Nelk Boys won’t stop as long as it brings in money. With each new scheme, be it casinos, NFTs, or something else, they find new ways to deceive their audience. They don’t care about those who lose money or their lives due to gambling. They continue to promote this content, creating an illusion of success that is sold as an ideal for the younger generation.

If you value your future, stay away from them and their schemes. This isn’t a success story; it’s a story of deception and cynicism where the only winners are those who know how to manipulate people’s naivety and dreams.
