Real-life lawyer and content creator ‘LawByMike’ launched an ‘investigation’ into Caseoh’s fictional Goob Lagoon waterpark, finding it liable for hundreds of millions of dollars.
No, Twitch streamer Caseoh doesn’t actually own a waterpark in real life. However, his ‘Goob Lagoon’ waterpark in the game Waterpark Simulator has gone so viral that it’s no surprise some folks might think it’s a real place.
Caseoh’s streams playing the game have taken over social media, prompting fans to literally buy billboards and even rent out space on the sides of trucks advertising the nonexistent park.
Specifically, the amount of ‘injuries’ and ‘deaths’ from guests at Goob Lagoon have become an inside joke within the fanbase that has now expanded to the real world, even resulting in fans making an official-looking website to help ‘injured guests’ seek compensation.
Although Caseoh’s adventures at Goob Lagoon are now over, the streams grew so popular that an actual lawyer looked into the fictional waterpark to see exactly how deep in legal trouble it would be, if it were an actual business.
Lawyer says Caseoh would owe $400M for ‘crimes’ at Goob Lagoon
‘LawByMike’ is an experienced attorney based out of Los Angeles, California. He has practiced law in a variety of areas, such as personal injury, criminal defense, entertainment, and more.
On top of having his own practice, he also creates videos on YouTube, where he delves into the legal side of popular creators’ lives and breaks down the legal system for his 15 million subscribers.
In a September 30 upload, LawByMike looked into Caseoh’s Goob Lagoon, where he analyzed the many incidents of ‘injury’ caused to guests by dangerous water slides, slipping on puddles, and even getting walloped by Caseoh himself for spraying graffiti in the park.
Mike also pointed out violations of health codes and OSHA regulations, such as when Caseoh discovered trash bags and human waste inside the Goob Lagoon swimming pools. According to LawByMike, each violation is considered a separate incident, racking up thousands of dollars and lots of jail time.
Of course, he couldn’t just skip over the moment when Caseoh tased someone swimming in a pool, electrocuting and killing everyone inside it.
“Now we’re looking at mass murder,” Mike said. “We’ve got three counts of murder here. Caseoh’s going away for life. Depending on where he lives, the death penalty could happen here.”
He did, however, note that Caseoh could argue he didn’t know what would happen if he used the taser in the pool — but found that defense “weak” and unlikely to sway a judge.
Using Caseoh’s daily park reports, Mike found that there were around 22 estimated deaths at the Goob Lagoon, along with numerous health code violations, OSHA violations, and employment lawsuits, resulting in a hypothetical fine of $399 million.
Combined with other lawsuits from employees and fines from code violations, he estimated the number to be closer to $400M — and that’s not including the jail time Caseoh would have to face.
For the ‘crimes’ of criminal negligence, battery, battery with a deadly weapon, involuntary manslaughter, and second-degree murder, Mike hypothesized Caseoh would spend around 3,000 years in jail.
“This is the scariest waterpark I’ve ever seen,” Mike remarked. “…Caseoh, I loved reacting to you playing this game. Everyone should watch more of this series.”
Thus far, Caseoh has not reacted to his hypothetical prison sentence — but knowing his viewers, it won’t be long until the news gets to him. Unfortunately, his run at the Goob Lagoon is over… but it’s probably for the best, given all the (fake) legal trouble.
