PewDiePie is in trouble again
One of the world's highest paid YouTubers PewDiePie is in serious trouble again.

He has more than 57 million subscribers on YouTube and last year earned more than 拢11 million through the site.
PewDiePie's real name is Felix Kjellberg. He's a 27-year-old from Sweden who built a huge fan base creating videos, mostly about video games.
