Banned from Fortnite for sharing accounts to qualify for the tournament...

"I won’t ever cheat in Fortnite again."

Seems like he didn't get the message.

It seems he wasn't banned from Fortnite, just from participating in tournaments. So he may very well cheat in fortnite again, as his account wasn't banned.

Being said, nice of them to donate the winnings to charity, half expected them to just keep the money.

He's not wrong though. He won't cheat in Fortnite again.

Cheating in Fortnite gets you banned.

Cheating in Diablo gets you a White House consultant position.

I'm getting mixed signals here.

Cheating on your wife with a porn start and illegally paying her hush money gets you the white house.
