On the morning of March 21, 2019, Denino’s residence in Tarzana, Los Angeles, was raided by the FBI over a case involving wire fraud that implicated Denino and other members of his ‘Cx Network’, all electronics in the house belonging to Denino and the people living with him were seized. Cx Network subsequently folded in March 2019.

On August 1, 2019, Paul started streaming on Microsoft’s streaming-platform, Mixer. Denino stated that he was trying out Mixer in comparison to YouTube and that Mixer’s community and active staff-support made the community much more welcoming than YouTube. Another reason given for the platform switch is “Youtube has only downgraded their streaming discoverability over the years which sucks for the streamers.” As of 4/30/2021, Ice Poseidon has 37,582 followers and 1,989,889 total views.

Paul’s fan base are controversial with some describing the community as ‘toxic’ due to their frequent use of racial and sexual slurs, and harassment. His community is largely based around his large Discord community and his Reddit subreddit /r/Ice_Poseidon which was initially placed under “quarantine” by Reddit, and subsequently banned in October 2019 along with its community-run sister Subreddit /r/Ice_Poseidon2. Denino admits that it is nearly impossible to hide anything from the “Purple Army”.

Denino was banned from Twitch on April 28, 2017, after being swatted on American Airlines Flight 458 in Phoenix, where police officers removed Denino and another person. The incident made national news across the US as a hoax bomb threat had been called in by one of Denino’s viewers under his name. While this was not the first time he had been swatted during a livestream it was the first on Twitch to lead to a permanent suspension.

Following his ban from Twitch in spring-2017, Denino went to YouTube, taking most of his fans (the “Purple Army”) with him, a rarity for streamers.

From September 2016 Denino was affiliated with the eSports organization NRG Esports as part of their RuneScape roster and as a content creator. The sponsorship provided management services through team NRG’s Brent Kaskel. In June 2019, Denino announced he was no longer working with Kaskel after allegations of sexual abuse were made against Kaskel. Denino earned about US$60,000 dollars per month through various sponsorships.

Denino was a partnered streamer on Twitch. He rose to prominence for his RuneScape streams in 2015 playing under the pseudonym “Ice Poseidon” which he created using a random-name generator when he was twelve years of age. He moved into streaming IRL, beginning by streaming himself playing Pokémon Go. He was banned multiple times on Twitch. In late December 2016, Twitch announced the launch of the IRL section, allowing Denino to stream without the involvement of gaming for the first time. Denino was banned during his first IRL stream because he revealed a woman’s phone number on stream. This was his third ban on the platform, this time resulting in a 45-day ban. During the ban, Denino decided to move to California to pursue his Twitch career full-time. He frequently traveled around the country IRL streaming, averaging ten to thirty thousand concurrent viewers.
