Ross subsequently apologized to Tate, and the brothers were released that week.⁠[6]

He joined MrBeast and xQc in a TeamWater livestream beginning on August 14 to support clean-water access. Stream Hatchet reported approximately $12 million raised in under eighteen hours. This was the event’s collective fundraising total, not Ross’s personal donation.⁠[11]

Impresa Legal Group announced a proposed class action for Jason Nufio in New Jersey’s Superior Court in Monmouth County, naming Ross, Drake, Stake, Kick and others.

Citing a Wall Street Journal investigation, The Crypto Times reported a multimillion-dollar promotional arrangement between Ross and Polymarket and clips discussing inside information. It also reported the company’s stated prohibition on trading with stolen or confidential data and plans to audit promotional content. These were reported claims and a company response, not a finding that Ross broke the law.⁠[17]

The court granted Stake’s motion to compel arbitration and stayed the entire case, including claims against Ross, pending arbitration. It did not decide liability or exonerate Ross.⁠[13]
