7:39 problem with something like this you are not allowed to just sue them you have to do arbitration with their team and then they ended up rolling that back because of my friend no way yeah because she she almost got kidnapped at Airbnb what the ████ by the owner by the owner yeah so they were like hey can you deal with the owner first aren't they supposed to do background checks on the people well what happened was she was staying at this Airbnb this it was this Turkish guy that owned it who was like an actor and then uh he showed up at the foyer when she was like leaving and uh tried to put her in a bag Jesus ████ Christ she's that small I'm sure it was a it was an appropriate bag fit in a duffel bag yeah her name is Natalie white and then you can look at the case and everything she ended up winning a $10 million lawsuit against the guy holy sh and he fled the country and went back to Turkey does that mean he couldn't pay her yeah he

8:29 left yeah does that mean she gets to keep the house I don't know I don't know what happened with the house but but then because of that exact case Airbnb retracted that arbitration clause or revised I wonder if that guy had a prior history he um he didn't he was he he was an actor like a I think he was like he's like a 6'4 like really big dude oh ████ and and he's in like movies and music videos and stuff and then just that happened and that was his only didn't ruin his career in the turkey or was it an American Career he's an actor in Turkey now I think he's just hiding in Turkey he hid to escape the charges but before I guarantee you he's now somewhere in Turkey tricking kids with a ice cream cone and they never get and they're just ████ kid still

9:21 there waiting for their ████ vanilla conb I hate that guy honestly and he's like and every night he looks in the mirror and it's like that was close almost went viral again that's such a crazy thing that happened we did a we did a story specifically on that here she's she was staying alone yeah we did we did a story I think like two almost two years ago we did that story but then like I remember telling you guys hey this one's serious cuz it's my friend and then all you guys made too many jokes I to put on patreon oh cuz she was going to see it she was like looking forward to the video and I was like oh yeah yeah it's coming out it's coming out oh damn oh my God who was making those jokes was it me everyone but it's fine it was funny but like she would have been really pissed
