A member of Mr Beast's team confirmed that he did, in fact, work for them. Although, he apparently only worked there for a short amount of time.
The video goes into some detailed allegations of actually illegal practices taking place with a lot of their contests and giveaways, such as obfuscating the "no purchase necessary" clause in their promo copies, making it unreasonably hard to enter the contest without making a purchase, "fixing" the contest so that some prizes go out to friends/family of the company instead of outside entrants, forging autographed merch, etc.
He provides a lot of evidence, largely including video footage and screenshots of the exact things he's alleging. In fact, just about every claim he makes in the video is backed up by a clip or a screenshot. Whether or not those prove the claims he's making is one thing, but to say he's not provided any coherent evidence wouldn't really be accurate.
Did you watch the video? I know it's long and not the most entertaining thing in the world, but I'm getting the feeling that you're running on assumptions here, because a lot of the blanks you have are filled in by the video.
There is another video that goes into detail about how it is illegal to sell products for entry to a random giveaway. Which he had done multiple times.
He is absolutely scamming people and uses predatory tactics against children. Watch the SomeOrdinaryGamers video on it, it's pretty clear. (For posterity, that video I'm mentioning is Mutahar watching and commenting about a different video to clarify and give his opinion)
