1. Executive summary
During the stream “Right Perspective Radio with Davis Lürmann [TH] #576 09‑Apr‑2026 [Dono‑Match],” host Davis Lurmann appears to have exploited a donation‑matching offer from a legitimate supporter (“Always Honest”) by using multiple fake supporter accounts to generate artificial donations. These inflated totals induced “Always Honest” and potentially other donors to contribute more money under false impressions of genuine audience support.
2. Parties involved
- Primary subject: Davis Lurmann – FTJ Media creator and host of “Right Perspective Radio,” with a main account showing concentrated logins on 2026‑04‑09 from IP range 50.83.11x.x.
- Victim donor: “Always Honest” – a real supporter who told Davis she would match whatever donations he received on certain streams, including the 09‑Apr‑2026 Dono‑Match broadcast.
- Suspected controlled accounts (examples): Lilly Hammer, Hanna Riech/Hannah Reich, Natalie Brooke Crystal Coggins, Addie Baddie, Katerina Duhauyst, Astrid, Ingrid Ella, Frida, Amy Bostwick, Broken Brooke, Kris Kiss, Marmalade, Yes Daddy Davis, Always HonestFan, and others listed in the compiled email/login records and seen donating or chatting in the stream.
3. Description of the scheme
- Before the relevant stream, “Always Honest” informed Davis that she would match all donations he received on certain broadcasts, essentially doubling the on‑screen donation totals from her own funds.
- On 09‑Apr‑2026, during “Right Perspective Radio with Davis Lürmann [TH] #576 09‑Apr‑2026 [Dono‑Match],” the chat shows a series of donations from numerous “fan” accounts, including sizable amounts in different currencies and detailed persona backstories (e.g., Lilly Hammer in Norway; Katerina from Belarus; Amy Bostwick as a “proud mother of 4”; Addie Baddie sending 80 USD).
- These donations were publicly represented as support from independent listeners, thereby increasing the amount “Always Honest” believed she was matching and signaling to other viewers that the stream was receiving strong genuine support.
- Internal platform data shows that many of these “donor” accounts are linked to Davis through shared emails, IP addresses, devices, and coordinated login patterns, indicating that they are not independent fans but controlled identities used to fabricate donations.
4. Evidence of linked sockpuppet accounts
4.1 Email and identity records
- A compiled email spreadsheet (“email.csv”) lists many user identities and associated email addresses; some usernames are directly tied to Davis’s own email addresses (for example, “phineaspcage” and “bringbeatback” mapped to davislurmann@* addresses), confirming that he operates multiple site personas.
- The same file lists numerous “fan” names that appear in chat and donations—Lilly Hammer, Hanna Riech, Hannah Reich, Natalie Brooke Crystal Coggins, Addie Baddie, Katerina Duhauyst, Astrid, Ingrid Ella, Frida, Amy Bostwick, Broken Brooke, Yes Daddy Davis, Always HonestFan, etc.—each with unique burner‑style emails at services such as atomicmail. This pattern indicates a deliberate network of themed accounts rather than organic sign‑ups.
4.2 IP address and device correlation
- Davis’s main account login history on 2026‑04‑09 shows repeated access from IP 50.83.11x.x around the time of the Dono‑Match stream.
- Other accounts (Broken Brooke, Natalie Brooke Crystal Coggins, Kris Kiss, Marmalade, and others) also show logins from the same 50.83.11x–50.83.12x IP range, using Chrome on Windows 10, with timestamps overlapping or immediately following Davis’s logins.
- In multiple cases, two or more of these accounts log in within seconds or minutes of each other from identical IP and device signatures, which is consistent with one operator switching between profiles rather than separate individuals connecting from different locations.
4.3 Chat and donation behavior
- Chat excerpts from the stream show these personas speaking as if they are distinct fans from different countries and life situations, praising Davis and announcing donations.
- For example, Lilly Hammer declares a 949.74 Norwegian krone donation and expresses affection in Norwegian; Katerina Duhauyst identifies herself as listening from Belarus and references exchange rates; Amy Bostwick describes herself as a “proud mother of 4 with a loving husband and new baby”; Addie Baddie interacts with Davis and is thanked for an 80 USD donation.
- Davis responds to these accounts on air as separate supporters, reinforcing to viewers and to “Always Honest” that multiple real listeners are donating, even though internal records link those accounts back to him.

| Lilly Hammer | Email + chat | Email lillyhammmer@* and large krone donation message in chat. |
| Natalie Brooke C. Coggins | Email + login history | Burner email; logins from same 50.83.11x/12x IP and Chrome/Windows 10. |
| Broken Brooke | Email + login history | Email brookebroken@; repeated logins from 50.83.12x Chrome/Windows 10. |
| Kris Kiss | Email + login history | Email kristinrorke@; logins clustered with Davis from 50.83.1x. |
| Addie Baddie | Email + chat | Email addiebaddie@; thanked on air for an 80 USD donation. |
| Yes Daddy Davis | Email yesdaddydavis@* clearly themed around Davis. | |
| Always HonestFan | Email alwayshonestfan@* derivative of legitimate donor’s name. |
6. Findings
Based solely on the evidence provided:
- Control of multiple identities: Davis Lurmann demonstrably controls multiple FTJ Media accounts, as shown by direct email associations and shared IP/device data.
- Use of these identities during Dono‑Match stream: Several of these controlled or strongly linked accounts appear in chat and donation logs for the 09‑Apr‑2026 Dono‑Match stream, presenting themselves as independent donors when they are not.
- Deceptive inflation of donations: By routing donations through these sockpuppet accounts during a stream where “Always Honest” had pledged to match all contributions, Davis inflated the apparent total donations and thus the amount “Always Honest” felt compelled to give, constituting a deceptive donation‑inflation scheme.
- Misrepresentation to broader donors: The same behavior misleads other viewers about the show’s organic financial support, which may influence their own decision to donate based on falsified social proof.
7. Impact and policy concerns
- Harm to “Always Honest”: She relied on what she believed were genuine donations and, due to Davis’s artificial inflation, may have matched funds that were not actually from independent supporters.
- Trust damage for members: Donors and subscribers expect transparent reporting of support; discovering that large portions of visible donations were from fabricated accounts undermines confidence in FTJ Media’s creator ecosystem.
- Policy violations: This conduct appears inconsistent with common‑sense prohibitions on fraud, misrepresentation, and manipulative behavior that are typical in Terms of Service for donation and streaming platforms, even absent direct financial‑instrument evidence.
8. Recommended actions (without card data)
8.1 Immediate internal measures
- Freeze and review: Temporarily freeze payout activity for Davis Lurmann and pause new donations to his channel while the investigation is formally documented.
- Correlate all linked accounts: Use existing email, IP, and device data to enumerate all accounts likely controlled by Davis and flag them for manual review and potential suspension.
- Preserve data: Archive all relevant logs (login histories, chat logs, donation events, internal notes) relating to Davis and the linked accounts to maintain an evidentiary trail.
8.2 Donor‑facing steps
- Notify “Always Honest”: Privately explain that irregularities were detected involving sockpuppet donors during streams where she pledged to match donations and that the platform is auditing affected events.
- Offer reconciliation: Provide her with a breakdown of which donations came from accounts linked to Davis so she can understand what portion of her matching contributions may have been induced by fabricated activity.
- General transparency: Consider a concise statement to the wider donor community emphasizing that FTJ Media has detected and is addressing deceptive practices by one creator and is strengthening anti‑fraud controls.
8.3 Policy and system improvements
- Clarify rules: Ensure the Terms of Service explicitly ban creators from operating undisclosed donor accounts or otherwise misrepresenting donation sources.
- Automated detection: Implement automated alerts for patterns like multiple accounts sharing IP ranges and devices, rapid account switching, and coordinated login bursts around specific events such as donation matches.
- Review donor‑match formats: For future donation‑matching arrangements, add internal checks (e.g., flagging self‑linked accounts) before totals are promoted or matched.
