ice poseidon - thai prison


Ice Poseidon, aka Paul Denino, is a controversial American streamer known for his pranks and general tomfoolery. He’s been banned from Twitch since 2017, when a viewer doxxed him with a fake bomb threat, and he was dragged off an airplane by police.


Streaming mostly on Kick these days, he’s once again found himself in trouble with the law, this time by pissing off the wrong restaurant owner in Bangkok. Except now, his punishment might mean five years in a Thai prison, and a permanent break from streaming.


Ice Poseidon had rented a private room in the restaurant with his girlfriend and a few streaming buddies when they decided to have a cross-dressing party, complete with a steamy lap dance. Before long though, the restaurant owner had had enough. “I would like all of you to go to the police station now for doing something like this and disrespecting Thai culture,” she said.



Ice and his crew were indeed arrested, allegedly for violating Thailand’s Computer Crimes Act, a law the country has used to target OnlyFans creators in the past, as well as for distributing lewd content. “Kim is actually facing the most heat,” Ice wrote on Discord about his girlfriend. “They actually said her dress was too sexual for the public.” Ice also claimed she’d been assaulted after being detained.


“If I get five years, I’m just going to kill myself,” he wrote. “I will not be able to survive Thai jail.”



American streamers in foreign countries have a history of causing problems — just last month the Twitch streamer Johnny Somali was choked in Japan as retaliation against his racist comments — but even Ice’s critics were on his side this time. “This is like the only time Ice didn’t do anything that bad,” @disregardedkitchen commented on YouTube.


“She has NO Rights,” @axlyoung1218 agreed, referencing the restaurant owner. “Regardless of what those guys did.”


In the end, that’ll be up to a court to decide. On that count, it’s unclear exactly what the future holds. Ice has paid $12,000 in bail money, and some sources indicate the charges have been dropped. Others, however, maintain, a court date still awaits him. Either way, it’ll set new case law on the legal ramifications of being insufferable.
