Being banned, hacked, etc

Banned from Twitch in May 2018

On May 17, 2018, Tfue was banned from Twitch after having said the racial slur coon.

He promptly made an apology video where he also explained details regarding the situation.

On May 18, his ban was reduced from 30 days to 7 days. He was thus back on Twitch again by 24 May 24.

Banned from Fortnite in June 2018

On June 22, 2018, Tfue’s Fortnite account was banned since he had been selling accounts with rare skins.

Tfue created a new account called “Not Tfue” that held absolutely no skins except the recruiter skin (also know as default or simply no-skin playing).

On November 5 that same year, Fortnite’s developer Epic Games sent him an email where they offered him to get the Fortnite NFL Football Skins early, an offer which Tfue declined. Despite this, Epic Games gave him the skins. On November 6, Tfue purchased the Bullseye skin, citing that Epic Game’s gift meant that he was no longer a “real default” anyway.
