In the process of this research, he also discovered that Seth, the "owner" of MSM Talent, also owns a vtuber design guild, Spite Engine, that has not been paying artists and riggers.

Corrections
>The previous round-up mistakenly listed the dates of the NijiEN/Chronoir concerts at Anime Expo as 6/10. The dates of those concerts are 7/6 and 7/7.
>The previous round-up mistakenly listed news regarding Magical Girl HoloWitch under Nijisanji's header. It is obviously Hololive news. (This was already corrected in the last OP).
>The previous round-up mistakenly credited Amiya Aranha with winning the Indie 500 twice in a row. She has won the IndieCar Championship twice, but this was the first time she had won the Indie 500.
>The previous round-up mistakenly stated that Henya's 3D Showcase would be "before the end of May". Henya stated it would be "before the end of July". If you're reading this last, you may be confused. Don't sweat the details.
