Kirklin Mack, a 26-year-old YouTuber, has gone viral with a controversial video titled 'I Convinced a Stranger to Rob a Bank.'
The video, posted on April 3, 2026, has garnered over 8 million views and features Mack convincing his old school friend, Adam, to join him in a fake bank robbery.
However, what Adam didn't know was that the entire scenario was set up and choreographed by Mack, with the help of FBI agents who contacted Adam to help them look for Mack due to their school connection.
Adam spent six weeks in the simulation, unaware of the cameras filming them, and was only made aware of the truth at the end.
The video has sparked a mix of reactions, with some viewers expressing concern for Adam's well-being and others praising Mack's creativity and production quality.
Mack, who has around 727,000 followers on YouTube, is not a regular poster but has a knack for creating viral content, with everything he posts hitting millions of views.
He is also involved in the Amazon Prime show 'Beast Games' as a co-host, co-creator, and editor, and has been compared to Jimmy Donaldson, also known as MrBeast, for his big challenges and high-quality content.
