If there’s evidence that there was an oral or chatroom agreement it can count. That said, child labor laws can also get you if you employ a child and then don’t pay them.

Yep, I got 200$ because of “Child Labor” and they didn’t pay me (someone else) and I didn’t even need to sue them.

The majority of his devs, if not all are under 16, the owner has not done any work at all

Gather the other devs that got scammed, you can pool your cases, and have a EVEN BETTER chance of winning!

The legal evidence would only be eligible for pursuit assuming the court allows them to be taken. You could not simply, “submit a gyazo of the chat messages” and hope for a valid case.
You not only would need to prove that the messages are in-fact relevant to the case, you also need to associate with absolute certainty that those messages are sent from the person in which scammed you. Which once again, to us, and the OP, is nothing more then a discord name on a screen.
I’m sorry, but everyone on this thread needs to wake up, and accept the fact that unless you take precautions before the fact, anything that happened, happened- learn from it.

Obviously, the lawyer would walk them through the actual process. Which is why I have been saying, talk to a lawyer.

How are you even supposed to take this to court? He wasn’t legally employed, and wasn’t being paid actual currency?
Is OP supposed to go to a lawyer and just say “I wasn’t paid virtual currency for something I did” and actually expect them to take it it court, let alone pick up the case?

It doesn’t necessarily need to go to court (and likely won’t). Most people will panic and pay up specifically to avoid that.

From what I know, the owner is not liked at all, and the majority of his devs want to find another place of work and then leave. Since I joined them I’ve not seen the owner do any work, I won’t be doing any legal action cause it’s not good enough for that however I will still try make him give me the payment
Legal action is how you get the payment. At least say “I’ll take legal action if you don’t pay me for my work”.

You’re assuming that a lawyer would even pick up this case. Do you even know what you’re talking about?
You’re suggesting a lawyer wouldn’t pick up a case where a child was promised over $100 for work that they completed, but were instead never paid? There’s multiple laws being broken here.

dont let that slide, you can still take action, the court of public opinion always exists; Just make a hit piece on them and release it on yt. If anyone gets an offer from them they’ll see your video and think twice with working with em

I have let people know of his tricks and in addition he is already hated a lot. Apparently and idk if this is true but when he bought the game, he used a scam to buy the game for 1/3rd of the price

That is only and ONLY IF he converted the promised Robux via DevEx. It wasn’t converted so it was still Robux and thereby cannot be taken to a court case.
If I promised someone 13,500 vbucks if they beat me in a 1v1 and they beat me but I never gave them the vbucks, could they take me to court? No, because it’s a VIRTUAL CURRENCY therefore it’s worth nothing. It can be worth something through conversion methods like DevEx, but in its unconverted state, it is worth nothing. $0.00.

Yeah I won’t be doing legal action, however me and friends are working to try get him to give me the payment I was promised
If someone promised to give you a really nice chair in exchange for work and they withheld it after the work was complete, even if you never planned to sell the chair, would you not be able to sue?
Robux can be exchanged for real life currency, so it has an intrinsic value, much as a chair does.
PSA: I am not a lawyer in any way, so do not take this as 100% solid legal advice, just speaking from what i’ve heard
As far as i know you cannot take any legal action as you were not actually hired in a legal sense, so there’s pretty much nothing you can do in that direction.
For future reference i’d try to check their username on HiddenDev’s Scam logs or any future people you work with to ensure they don’t have previous incidents. You could go for other more “open” methods like looking their username up online, but that’s generally more complicated unless someone has publicly speaked out about it
