I was vaguely aware of the selling of weapons and skins for cash involving other games. I decided to investigate further after reading about this YouTube gamer who committed suicide by driving his McClaren sports car the wrong way on the 805 in San Diego killing a mom and daughter. His video channel is still up on YouTube. These YouTube stars become wealthy with massive amounts of followers being paid by YouTube which makes money by selling ads on the videos. This guy who went by the name of McSkillet was only 18. He was distraught over being banned from selling his $100K inventory of skins.
