The founders of a controversial streaming platform facing fury for live-streaming a French content creator's death are crypto-billionaires who sponsor an F1 team.
Australia's youngest billionaire Ed Craven, 29, and his 31-year-old business partner, Bijan Tehrani, set up Kick in 2022 and also established Stake.com, the largest crypto-backed online casino in the world.
The gaming-fanatics are said to be worth a combined $5.6billion while Craven once made headlines for buying two mansions in Australia for a total of $120million.
But their streaming site is at the centre of a growing scandal after it broadcast Raphael Graven, better known online as Jean Pormanove, being allegedly tortured for ten days before he was found dead in Contes, Nice on Monday.
Graven, a prominent Kick streamer, was known for so-called 'humiliation streams' - featuring extreme violence.
