 On October 31, 2022, Technicals uploaded a new video<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFBjrSpeiUE "Exposing the Corruption in the Smash Community"]</ref>, aiming to bring light to events that he argued showed significant corruption in the upper echelons of the ''Smash'' community. His main argument revolved around the Global Ban Database (GBD) created by {{Sm|Cagt}} in September 2020, which he eventually dissolved in August 2022, specifically how Nairo was omitted from it despite his legal liability from sexually contacting a minor, arguing that Cagt was pressured into removing his name following his public absolution. While Cagt claimed the database was only a suggestion, Technicals argued that his status as a major tournament organizer added reasonable doubt that he would not enforce the database onto others with evidence to suggest him doing just that. Technicals also points out that he was on the GBD, though with notes that he was not banned in certain regions like Las Vegas. As a method of protest, Technicals attended {{Trn|Double Down 2022}} with a large sign reading "Ban Nairo"; he was barred from entry on the second day, with the reasoning being his sign was too political and he was on the GBD. On the third day, Technicals disguised himself as a woman to bypass the venue's security, and subsequently had a verbal altercation with {{Sm|GimR}} and {{Sm|Aposl}} that he secretly recorded. He brought up that Nairo frequently re-streams [[VGBC]] content, to which they replied they do not associate with him. Technicals pointed out that it is common practice to ask permission to re-stream, theorizing that they either lied to him about not associating with Nairo or are simply doing nothing to stop him. The "Ban Nairo" sign was later censored out of re-uploads of the matches where it appears on stream.
-On January 28, 2024, Hax released a new video titled "The Truth"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn_J19CgFzo The Truth]</ref> in which he would plead innocent of all accusations of harassment, does not deserve to be banned and should be unbanned immediately, and claims that Leffen conspired with Jisu to harm several members of the community. He also claims that while neither himself and Leffen should not be banned, Leffen should be found guilty of all claims levied against him. He would specifically point out the suspicious timings of when certain people spoke out about their experiences, of which several were later determined to be at least partially fabricated. He also mentioned how Leffen "doctored" the [[Metagame (documentary)|Metagame]] documentary to adhere to his narrative. The video received a mixed reaction upon release. While many viewers and commenters believe that Leffen is a manipulator with a history of underhandedness, the video itself did not necessarily bring much new or compelling evidence towards that claim, and the vindictive tone from Hax himself gave the video the feeling of a revenge piece instead of a genuine investigation. Many also pointed out that Leffen requesting a portion of the metagame documentary be altered due to perceived unfair depictions and the [[Samox|creator]] complying is not the same as doctoring, as Leffen did not have control over the final product.
