Exclusive bombshell report: I have obtained private legal and financial documents from a primary Ashes of Creation investor who I met with through video calls and emails after confirming their identity.
The documents detail a debt over $115 million U.S. dollars with over 380 pages of text messages exchanged between Steven Sharif and the investor that gives us a better timeline of what may have happened behind the scenes at Intrepid Studios from 2014 to 2026.
This video is created for the purposes of news reporting, commentary, and criticism. All footage used is under Fair Use/Fair Dealing guidelines. We have taken care to ensure no sensitive or private information is disclosed, and the intent is to discuss public behavior and real events, NOT to harass individuals.
Big thank you to Becka for supporting me through the long hours of editing and recording. Thank you to Cenex, SacredAura, TurtleDump, Cro, Brian, Jay and Kodiak for their feedback.
