The OG Weafy Imposter

Who is The OG Weafy Imposter?
They are an account that started impersonating Leafy after they're first ban on YT. The reasoning for their significance is how many people belived it, how many people it inpired to do the same and how popular they got. the popularity being to the point where Leafy had to come out with multiple statments saying it wasnt them.

They got verifed twice and its still speculated how the imposter was able to do it due to the fact that you need to send a picture of your ID to youtube to verify its the actual you (at least at the time anyway, they might have changed it since then). The most widly accepted theory is that the fake Weafy account is using Leafy's bank details to get verified as Leafy's bank details and home address got leaked back in 2017 when he got doxxed.

Fake Comeback
On December 3, 2020, a person pretending to be Leafy posted a new video on a YouTube account simpily named "LeafyIsHere". In their first video titled "Im actually back... (LeafyIsHere)" they announced their "comeback" to YouTube, calling out YouTube's double standard against them. Leafy had not mentioned anything about this channel on any of his socials, all the other videos on the channel are re-uploads of Leafy's Storyfire content or his old YouTube videos and the description states that the channel is not owned by Leafy but is actually owned by his manager (that the actual Leafy doesn't have) leading people to suspect that the account was another fake. This was later confirmed in Leafy's actual comeback to youtube where he talked about how the fake account had got verified, something that even they're original account didn't have. How the "I'm actually back" video would have been obtained is still a mystery.

After Leafy's 5th Suspension (Weafy)
After Leafys at the time new account "Weafy" got suspended, the imposter changed their account name to Weafy too. The account got verified again quickly if not immediately after, with them posting "They call me Weafy for a reason" on their community tab shortly afterwards.
