Bank Robbery "Prank"

In August 2020, the Stokes Twins were charged with false imprisonment and falsely reporting an emergency (swatting) for a YouTube video recorded in October 2019. The video was about a fake bank robbery prank where they dressed as robbers and asked strangers for help to escape. In one prank, they called an Uber driver who did not know about the joke. When he refused to help, they tried to pressure him. Bystanders called the police, and the driver was held at gunpoint until officers realized he wasn’t involved. The twins were warned but continued filming another prank at the University of California, Irvine.

Their lawyers argued that the police had given them advice for the video and that one of the twins had notified the police about the prank beforehand. They also pointed out that it took ten months to charge them and that the twins were only informed after a press release. On April 1, 2021, the twins pleaded guilty and were sentenced to 160 hours of community service and a year of probation.

Copying Other YouTubers

The Stokes Twins have faced backlash for allegedly copying content from several well-known YouTubers, including MrBeast, Charles The French, SSSniperWolf, Mark Rober, FaZe Rug, and JianHao Tan, often without giving proper credit. They have been accused of replicating thumbnails and even entire videos, such as Charles The French's "The Problem With Online Classes." In response, Charles The French released a video titled "DID THE STOKES TWINS COPY US?" The controversy gained further attention when YouTuber SunnyV2 discussed the accusations in a video dedicated to exposing the Stokes Twins' practices.
