On September 2, 2025, Hasan Piker reacted on stream to a [[BadEmpanada]] video covering publicly available FEC disbursement filings from Progressive Victory PAC. In the Video, personally identifiable information (addresses/full legal names) of several individual who had received payments from PV at the time was shown. Several of the individuals who's information were revealed were smaller streamers and friends of Destiny. Upon hearing this, Hasan concludes that the PAC itself must have been a {{wiki|slush_fund|slush fund}} for Destiny and his friends.<ref>{{cite | |||

Progressive Victory (PV) is a political action committee (PAC) that is focused on trying to combine online activists, creators and volunteers with more mainstream political movements.
Destiny worked with Sejin and various others to set up and fund deep canvassing efforts across the US for the 2024 political season.
Destiny responds to Hasan's FEC filing coverage of Progressive Victory
On September 2, 2025, Hasan Piker reacted on stream to a BadEmpanada video covering publicly available FEC disbursement filings from Progressive Victory PAC. In the Video, personally identifiable information (addresses/full legal names) of several individual who had received payments from PV at the time was shown. Several of the individuals who's information were revealed were smaller streamers and friends of Destiny. Upon hearing this, Hasan concludes that the PAC itself must have been a slush fund
for Destiny and his friends.[1]
On September 4, 2025, Destiny responded on his own stream, taking great issue with the brazen manner in which Hasan chose to reveal the personally identifiable information of individuals who had assisted PV. Destiny begins by rejecting Hasan's claim that PV was a front for any nefarious financial arrangement, pointing out that 527 PACs
would be a poor method for funneling money "discreetly" since the law requires them to publicly file the very same disclosures Hasan was reading from on stream. [2] Destiny goes on to state that his involvement with PV was solely in promoting campaigns and fundraising.[3] Repeatedly throughout the stream, Destiny floats the idea of pursuing a defamation case against Hasan.[4]

Destiny argues with Progressive Victory's social media account
In March 2026, ahead of Progressive Victory's "Choose Your Fighter" rally on March 28, Destiny criticized the event and its guest list which included extreme left-wing individuals such as Michael Beyer and Hasan Piker.[5] Progressive Victory's social media account responded directly, leading to a heated exchange over several hours.
