An increasingly desperate Jeremiah Payne livestreamed for five hours on Saturday night in an attempt to raise the $600.00 he says he needs to pay for unspecified fines that are due on Monday or else face 280 days in jail.
Frustrated, Payne started to lash out at both his viewers and his fellow members of the First Amendment auditing community, noting at times that he had 9 people watching his stream while only one person would be active in his side chat at a time.
Payne didn’t lash out at “trolls” for once as Payne no longer gets full time coverage from his previous advisories. Unlike the times when trolling Payne brought competing bands of “troll armies” in 2023, the modern Payne lives in relative obscurity, getting an occasional look from former nemesis Fraudit Wrangler or story in this publication when he does something newsworthy.
Saturday’s low energy presentation offered nothing to the trolls to dig into. Payne was depressingly candid about what he claimed to be his current future: 280 days in jail for not paying the fine and homelessness for his mother, wife and 7-year-old child, all of whom are dependent on him and cannot work on their own.
As usual, Payne didn’t take advantage of his Streamyard to promote his cash apps, PayPal or GoFundMe links. He pinned two of the links over in his side chat but didn’t put them in a scrolling banner or verbally remind his fans as to the URLs for his donation links.
He also failed to clarify exactly why he needed the money. After almost 10 hours on the air, the exact charges he faces are not known. Only Payne’s assurance that he needs $600.00 immediately to “pay a fine” or else he’ll go to jail for 280 days on Monday has been offered, and sadly, that’s not enough in this day and age to spur donations based on Payne’s past history of deception.
Payne achieved great fame in 2023 after he and his wife Samantha were arrested during a live stream from their hotel for outstanding warrants after a tip off from a viewer to police. Payne left his stream going after he was arrested, and fans and looky-loos were treated to a weekend of the camera featuring the empty hotel room.
Jose “Chille” DeCastro immediately attempted to help Payne by raising money to bond both he and his wife Samantha out of jail, but Payne refused further help from DeCastro. Eventually, Payne would denounce DeCastro’s help in a public statement, leading to DeCastro ending all help for the Paynes in the future.
Saturday night, Payne again lashed out at DeCastro and others in the First Amendment auditing community. He claimed that he had reached out to all the big names – Josh Abrams, James Freeman, DeCastro, Lackluster, etc., and no one responded to his plight.
More importantly, long time friend News Now Preston reportedly turned his back on Payne, saying that he was too busy to help him or to go live to alert his fans that Payne was in need of help or faced prison time.
As Payne ended his five-hour-long broadcast Saturday night, he had raised a total of $170.00 and was increasingly lashing out, in a mix of sadness and anger, in frustration as no one would help him or donate to his case.
Payne’s forgotten GoFundMe campaign, His “A Family Fallen on Hard Times” fund again brought in $0.00 for the day, with $80.00 raised out of a $7,000.00 goal. The market itself remained stagnant for a second day in a row during the holiday season, with no funding taken in by any of the campaigns we follow.

Sadly, for Payne. people would only pay 600$ to see him go to jail for 280 days.
See, you only go to jail on Monday, if the judge has given you more than a few chances to pay the fine/court cost/whatever. They never say pay by next Monday or else. They never do. Better yet, you go to the clerk’s office, and ask nicely for a payment plan. You know, 100$ a month for the next 6 months. You sign the paper and the clerk files it with the case. The judge reads that paper, see’s payment is pending or paying as agreed to and they don’t send you to jail. So, why again is he about to go to jail for? If it is for fines, it means he has burned a lot of bridges. Just like he has burned bridges with everyone who has ever tried to help him. So, if he goes to jail, and I don’t buy that story, if he goes to jail it will be solely on his own efforts or lack of.
