/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>"So, kinda case you working this time?"
>"Well you remember Nijisanji? The Vtuber company?"
>"Oh yeah everyone was talking about them after the suicide attempt followed by the legal document sharin. But that's not your area, so why are you doing it?"
>"Well something was brought to my attention that their talent only makes 1-3% of their merch sales, 2 being the number tossed the most. I began to dig around but I couldn't get my foot in the door anywhere. Least not from Nijisanji. All their merch sponsors gladly handed over sales and their cut of the profit. All above board. Not a peep from the company."
>"So what did you do?"
>"Well I happened to notice something, take a look at this."
>"Wait she got nine sponsorships and her fellow Gen mates got 4 combined!?"
>"Yeah, and it gets weirder. Turns out she wasn't even the most subscribed nor highest earner."
>"That's.... odd."
>"I thought so too, which made me question a few things, before I found this."
>"A hiring doc? What's this gotta do with anything?"
>"Read the requirements. Minimal English required. Now what company hires an English manager that hardly knows English? It doesn't make sense. Unless..."
>"There was already someone on the English side who knew English and Japanese....but if they have a manager who can already do that why hire in new...wait..."
>"EXACTLY!"
>"You mean she's the one controlling the books? Wouldn't that mean...?"
>"Embezzling funds, yes. But I couldn't just go off circumstantial evidence . I needed hard proof, a smoking gun. That's when I looked into their AR Live."
