It could happen that they can "hire" another person as a manager and pay them regularly, honoring a verbal agreement, but that also illegal if they have been "hiring" this person for more than 2 months, and that person can legally sue that vtuber for not providing health insurance, and other legal benefits from being employed. After all, a verbal agreement, can be used as a contract even in a court of law, if there's enough proof of that said verbal agreement.
