Initially a streamer on Twitch, Denino was publicly banned from the platform for being swatted off an airplane at Phoenix airport after a viewer called in a bomb threat under Denino's name. Following several years of streaming on YouTube, Denino moved to Mixer, only for the streaming platform to shut down in July 2020. On May 6, 2023, Denino started streaming on Kick.
Denino admitted to taking over $500,000 in funds from the liquidity pool of CXCOIN, a cryptocurrency pump and dump scheme, profiting him over $300,000. Denino stated his intention to reimburse $150,000 to the investors he had defrauded; however, reports indicate that only $40,000 have been verified as returned to the token holders.
On June 28, 2023, Denino was arrested in Bangkok after he live-streamed himself giving his girlfriend a lap dance, and charged for violating Thailand's anti-pornography laws. Denino published an apology video on his Twitter promptly after being arrested. On August 18, 2023, Denino revealed that criminal charges against him had been dropped and that he had left Thailand.
