== Manipulation ==
'''Josh Wells,''' also known as Josh Wilman or '''Flexburger''', was one of the original, and most influential, [[management|managers]] of Daniel Larson.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/139sc49/comment/jj3nmf3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> In the beginning of his management, Flexburger heavily manipulated Daniel, leading to the [[May 6th]] incident. He's also been documenting Daniel on YouTube since 2022 on the LarsonLeak channels. With all of his channels combined, he has over 30,000 subscribers.
Flexburger, along with several other [[Management|managers]], manipulated Daniel into doing extremely degrading acts, such as the [[May 6th]] incident, over the course of a couple of months. Flexburger manipulated Daniel into doing things such as promoting his [[Presidential Campaign|presidential campaign]], despite Daniel not being old enough to be president.


He also leaked Daniel's disturbing [[Daniel's pinterest account|Pinterest account]] and catfished him while pretending to be a minor.

Flexburger became aware of Daniel in 2020.

=== Pinterest Controversy ===
== Personas ==
Flexburger has been accused of not only manipulating Daniel Larson, but the community as well. Flexburger leaked a [[Daniel's pinterest account|Pinterest account]] of Daniel's, which implicated him of being a pedophile. It had collections, likes, and pins of little girls (especially [[Grace VanderWaal]]), age of consent maps, and other disturbing videos.
{{Stub}}


The leak was controversial however, as Flexburger, for a short period of time, was in control of Daniel's leaked Pinterest, as well as his [[Social Media Accounts|other accounts]]. Many speculate that Flexburger was the one to like and pin the videos to frame Daniel as a [[Pedophilia|pedophile]].
=== Partyhouse Records/Interscope Records ===


'''These accusations of manipulation are false'''. The dates of the pins date back to 2019, long before Flexburger was his manager and even before Daniel was publicly known and posted onto social media. Even if the Pinterest account is fake, it does very little to counter the claim that Daniel is a pedophile, as there is plenty of other information implicating him as a pedophile.
=== Josh ===


=== War and Doxxing ===
=== [[Larsonleak|LarsonLeak]] ===
Daniel, as revenge for Flexburger exposing him, [[The Flexburger War|declared war on him]]. Flexburger was already an enemy of the [[r/Daniellarson]] subreddit, and following this declaration, was doxxed and stopped communicating with Daniel in August of 2021.

In late September 2023 during the college arc, Daniel and a friend appeared to encounter someone ''claiming'' to be Flexburger near the campus. Daniel begins filming saying "So this is Flexburger..." causing Flex to turn around and flip Daniel the bird, saying "fuck you Daniel! Fuck you!"

On May 6, 2023, to celebrate the anniversary of the [[May 6th|May 6th Incident]], Flexburger returned and hosted a Reddit AMA under the username "[https://www.reddit.com/user/smokesomuch2 smokesomuch2."] To kick off this 'celebration,' Flexburger leaked some [[May 2023 Flexburger Leaks|never-before-seen lore]], and also started a Twitter, [[@flexburgerr]].


Below are some excerpts from the AMA.
=== [[Larsonleak|LarsonLeak]]/YouTube Career ===
In November of 2022, Flex made his first YouTube channel named LarsonLeak. At first, it was anonymous and not linked to him. He posted rare never seen before photos of Daniel during his childhood, as well as an interview with [[Travis Larson|Daniel's father.]] A year later in 2023, he would launch his second channel, "LarsonLeak Raw", posting more documentary type content about Daniel. It's now used as his main channel, and has surpassed the original LarsonLeak page in subscribers.
