Once Pansino began covering this, she became aware of the allegations of a toxic work environment in Donaldson’s company. With the help of an employee whistleblower, she obtained an employee handbook that supported the claims of toxicity and a hostile work environment.
Pansino Reports To The FBI
After months of collecting anecdotal evidence against Donaldson, Pansino came into possession of screenshots and a screen recording that scrolled a MrBeast Slack channel. Slack is similar to Discord but is mainly used by businesses. The Slack messages were disturbing and allegedly included an inappropriate photo of a minor. This comes after one of Donaldson’s high-ranking employees was let go after allegations that she groomed a minor.
Aside from that content, the channel was filled with racism, the use of slurs, inappropriate jokes about minors, jokes about school shootings, and other highly concerning things. While Donaldson’s Slack account never said his name, the former employee confirmed that his screen name is “John Smith” in the messages. This is also further confirmed by the content of the messages themselves. The “John Smith” character often refers to himself as MrBeast or Jimmy, directly or indirectly.
