Right before FlaSh went to military (and right before crypto scandal blew up), he had a stream with Suit (crypto scandal head), Gamst and Britney that revealed how much he made off of Crypto. They were discussing how much money they've made so far and FlaSh brought up "I've made more in 1 month with crypto than I've made in 10 years [of streaming+progaming]. I've put a lot here and there and it all rose up".
