Twitch star Kaitlyn ‘Amouranth’ Siragusa continues to defend her purchase of a gas station from critics and even found herself schooling some claiming to be an accountant who said she was living in “fantasy.”
On November 9, Amouranth revealed she bought a gas station and by taking advantage of some loopholes, she was able to save a lot of money on her taxes in the process.
The move, while applauded by many of her fans, had others believing she was taking advantage of a system that only benefits rich people, leading her to confront those criticisms head-on.

“This is just fantasy. I wouldn’t sign that return with somebody else’s pen. I feel like I’ve been trolled,” he concluded.
