Brainwaves Episode 116 – Bank Wyrm

by Iain McAllister · Published 27 Feb 2023 · Updated 6 Jul 2023

It’s Jamie’s last cast for a little while and it is full of news. From Wyrmwood handling of sexual assault allegations to Hasbro bank troubles and companies not delivering on time. There are even two pieces of Monopoly news, just for Jamie. All this, and more, in episode 116 of Brainwaves.

Headlines

The Wyrmwood video mentioned in this piece has since been taken down.

Former Employee Alleges Termination By Wyrmwood Gaming To Cover For Sexual Misconduct

Andrew’s videos

I'm a former employee of @WyrmwoodGaming
and want to put my story on record. I'm who the tweet was talking about. Remember firing me, Doug?

This is a very long video because I wanted to break down all of the facts and details of the story that Wyrmwood didn't cover or forgot, while also disputing their attacks on my character.
