Note on Credibility:

Geno Samuel has been deemed to be an unreliable narrator for the following reason:
Has a habit of making dishonest and disingenuous statements[note 1]
Bear this in mind, and use healthy skepticism when taking statements from the subject being discussed.

Simply making the doc has already gotten attention from Chris which prompted her to retcon her past. Christory has already been interfered with.

Edwin Grigonis, also known by the pseudonym Geno Samuel, (born circa 1990s)[5] is a Lithuanian-born YouTuber and musician. He is a Christuber and carpetbagger known for creating the series Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History, as well as exploiting Chris's imagery by selling items themed after him without his permission.

In June 2018, Chris expressed his hope that Geno and his fanbase will "recover swiftly" from Geno's termination on YouTube.[6]

On 20 September 2019, Chris DM'd Geno and asked his input on creating a "Genochu" TSSSF custom card featuring him. Geno politely declined the request, and Chris in turn thanked him for responding and said the offer would remain open if he changed his mind.[7]

In a 4 July 2022 letter, Chris mentioned a desire to collaborate with Geno, writing that he would contact Geno as soon as he was able;[8] the latter reacted with "Fuck." in a Kiwi Farms post on learning of Chris's comment.[9]

On 21 October 2023, Chris viewed and commented during a livestream on Geno's channel in which Geno played back old video of Chris.[10]

In 2023, Geno began offering knockoff Sonichu medallions for sale. His medallions also included a Certificate of Authenticity, in an imitation of Chris commonly including a Certificate in his own for-sale medallions. Chris criticized Geno's medallion product in a 14 December 2023 post, writing, "Geno. Don’t even with the “Certificate”. 3D Printed never surpasses the full soul effort in hand-crafting. It’s not funny."[11]

On 10 January 2024, Chris congratulated Geno on his wife's pregnancy.[12]

On 3 February 2024, Geno began advertising more Chris-themed items for sale, including a shirt with a "WANT WOMAN!" slogan on it. Chris objected to it, asking, "Can you please stop the “Want Woman” shirt?"[13] Geno appears unlikely to accede to Chris's request - in a r/ChrisChanSonichu thread about Chris's comment, Geno replied to another Reddit user that he was "watching the sales roll in" and defended offering the item for sale.[14]

Notes

  1. Geno has made posts falsely claiming: that he does not read the CWCki, which he has used material from in his series Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History; that his series is unbiased, when there is bias within it; that he is not gaming a system for selfish gain regarding his sales, when he has ripped off Chris's design of Sonichu medallions.
