Their partnership is with Respawn Products, a gaming focused furniture company, not Respawn Entertainment. The link provided is to the later and should be edited to reflect that -- 2601:40B:300:FE60:1DE4:3A69:DD2E:FCC1 ( talk) 19:24, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
Since this clan is known for having members that cheat in Call Of Duty games (usually exploiting Quickscoping among other dirty and questionable tactics), can there be a section added as long as it's properly sourced? -- 2601:40E:8100:870F:416A:10FE:1C4D:659D ( talk) 21:02, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
There has been no case of cheating except of the case involving the Agony twins, which happened years ago and as a result they were kicked out of FaZe and later rejoined after having apologized to the community and talked with the team. So I think there's no reason for a separate section Γιαννης Παπαδογκονας ( talk) 13:41, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
It's still going on. There's members of the clan that are cheating in Black Ops 4 multiplayer using aimbot and purposely lagging to get advantages. There are a series of videos being produced with the proof and will be sent to various sources. -- 2601:40E:8100:870F:57E:3138:3BED:9906 ( talk) 15:47, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
There are currenetly multiple members of this clan being reported in the media for cheating. Subsequently a lot of of them have been given bans by the gaming companies involved. COD: Warzone, Fportnite and multiple others. This section needs to be expanded and further talked about. Cheating in games is nothing other than fraud, and doing so in competitions where money is involved should have serious consequences. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 105.244.196.96 ( talk) 14:18, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Please could you update the Manager and CEO title role from Thomas Oliveira to Lee Trink (Former President of Capitol Records), who has taken the CEO position over back in September 2017. He is an owner and investor as well. Many thanks.

I've put a tag on the article looking for help in rewriting in the article, as what is left from the previous deletion doesn't make much sense by itself. It would be good to get some prose for each of the teams and a brief history, I'll try to make a start, give me a shout if anything needs added. -- IrnBruFan7 ( talk) 14:00, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

I have been steadily adding some of FaZe Clan's biggest controversies, and have a few more in line, but do you think these are notable/notorious enough to be there? These are just quick drafts and not text that is going to be there.
August 2017 – Jake Paul claimed that FaZe owner Richard "Banks" Bengston assaulted his assistant. The assistant was later found out to be lying.
November 2017 – FaZe owner Richard "Banks" Bengston and Alissa Violet Butler were allegedly assaulted in Barley House bar by the bodyguards. Barley House released their statement, saying that they didn't assault anyone, Bengston and Violet were shouting obscenities on people, not respecting the bar's bodyguards..
June 2018 – FAZE Apparel filed a lawsuit over the phrase "FaZe", which FaZe Clan were selling on their merchandise. FaZe had to start using the phrase "FaZe Clan" on all their merchandise.
September 2018 – FaZe member Nate "Nate Hill" Hill and his teammate, Trevor "Funk" Siegler, were playing in the Fortnite Fall Skirmish. When Siegler died in-game, he started watching the live stream of the tournament and called out positions of his enemies. They both quickly publicly apologied. Epic Games suspended both of them from the tournament.
June 2019 – Investor group Hubrick files a lawsuit on FaZe Clan for theft of furniture, equipment, data and for spreading their trade secrets.
October 2019 – FaZe owner Richard "Banks" Bengston wrecked an apartment in Las Vegas, causing 30,000 USD in damages.
November 2019 – FaZe member Jarvis "Jarvis" Khattri was seen using third party programs, hacks, in the video game Fortnite Battle Royale. That is against Epic Games' terms of service and they permanently banned him. The community were pretty vocal about it, and FaZe Clan is continually having discussions with Epic Games about it.
December 2019 – Professional gamer for FaZe, Kyle "Mongraal" Jackson and his teammates, Benjy "benjyfishy" Fish, Jaden "Wolfiez" Ashman, Nathan "nayte" Berquignol, and their coach also signed by FaZe, Hugh "DestinysJesus" Gilmour were competing in a Fortnite tournament. A few days later a video came out allegedly showing Gilmour giving information about their enemies by watching their live streams. Epic Games reviewed the case and didn't rule him guilty.
On May 7, 2014, former FaZe graphics designer and creators of its logo, Joey "Ferox" Ricciuto released a video, stating that "he felt used and not respected". [1] A year later, Oliveira released a statement, saying "Ferox helped us with a lot of our early graphics design in our history. [...] I always gave him my input on how I wanted the team to be branded." Oliveira also addressed the creation of the FaZe logo: "Did he create the FaZe logo? No. I came up with the concept of it. He designed it." [2]
On July 16, 2016, journalist Richard Lewis published messages purporting to show that FaZe owners Nordan "Rain" Shat and Richard "Banks" Bengston owned CSGOWild, a betting site. [3] Two days later, YouTuber "HonorTheCall" uploaded a video where he accused them of knowing the outcome of rolls in advance. On the same day, CSGOWild's owner released a statement saying, "FaZe Clan, and any of its members do not and have never owned any part of Wild." continuing, "...we worked out a sponsorship deal. Banks, Rain and a few other team members got paid in return for promotion. [...] Not only did we stop working with the guys from FaZe over a month ago..." [4] [5] On May 10, 2020, Bengston admitted owning and registering CSGOWild in Antigua to fund their professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team, making upwards of $200,000 every day. [6] Shat denied Bengston's statements. [7]
On January 26, 2015, FaZe Clan announced co-producing the video game Starnet Eclipse with iCazual Entertainment. In the video, FaZe solicited donations, which would give donors exclusive content, to fund the game. [8] iCazual promised to release the game in June 2015, but instead released a pre-alpha version. iCazual stated that the game was scheduled for release in 2016, but nothing came to fruition. [9] [10] [11] On September 5, 2016, YouTuber "HonorTheCall" released a video about the game's delays, promises, and high prices; pointing to being a scam. [12] iCazual promptly released a statement, in which they said they are issuing refunds to the donors. [13] [14] It is speculated that the game's development has been halted.
On May 20, 2019, Fortnite player for FaZe, Turner "Tfue" Tenney, filed a lawsuit against FaZe, alleging that the organization had deprived him of business opportunities and taking up to 80 percent of his sponsorship revenue. Tenney also claimed that some members had encouraged him to gamble and drink while underage. [15] [16] FaZe released a statement denying the claims and stating they have not collected any money based on Tenney's tournament winnings or social media revenue, and only collected 20 percent of his sponsorship revenue. [17] [18] [19] Tenney later recanted the claim regarding underage gambling and drinking. [20] Tenney's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, says the two main reasons for the lawsuit are FaZe operating as a talent agency without having the license to do so, and Tenney's 6 month restrain from live streaming after the expiry of his contract. Freedman claims that Tenney is an artist and entertainer foremost. [21] FaZe's chief executive officer Lee Trink responded: "The salary was for his professional gaming skills. He doesn't convert to something else because he has other interests." [22] On August 1, 2019, FaZe counter sued Tenney for "divulging confidential information, publicly slandering the company, advocating for others to leave the company,...". [23] Tenney signed his contract in the state of New York, the contract says all litigation must be done in New York. Tenney filed the lawsuit in California, using its laws about the talent agency claims, while FaZe filed it in New York. [24] [25] On August 26, 2020, FaZe and Tenney had settled both lawsuits. [26]
Tenney also claimed FaZe signed a minor, Patrick "H1ghSky1", and continuously lied about his age, violating the California Labor Code. At the time of H1ghSky1's signing, he was only 11-years-old. He was suspended from multiple social media websites and from competing in the Fortnite World Cup 2019. [27] [28]
