During his time on YouTube, before allegedly being shut down by Muslim threats to him and his parents (because giving in to terrorism is always the answer), he ran a charity and asked for donations totaling $500 (possibly Canuck bucks?) per month. Donations above the goal of $500 were supposed to be donated to Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto. However, there were many suspicious circumstances surrounding his charitable appeals. First off, it is illegal under Canadian law to collect funds for charity without registering with the government. Moreover, he was quoted as saying that some of the money was to go to his car payments, tuition, and continuation of his "ministries".[24] Eventually, he stopped listing the amount of money donated, and said that no matter how much money a person donated, each donation was counted as one dollar (which should be a red flag right there).

In his original plan, a donation of $1000 would have met his overall target, resulting in $500 going to Sick Kids Hospital. Under the new plan, a donation of $1000 would only count as $1 towards his monthly goal; thus 500 donations of $1000 would result in VenomFangX pocketing $500,000 while contributing a grand total of $0 to charity. He claimed to have made this change in response to requests from his fans, but there is little evidence to suggest that his donors consented to this. PayPal closed his original account, presumably for a terms of use violation. According to the YouTube user lordhathor, VenomFangX went on to create additional PayPal accounts in order to continue soliciting donations in contravention of PayPal's terms of use, but PayPal subsequently closed these accounts.[25]

VenomFangX set up a PayPal account as a site for people to send him donations. However, VenomFangX encountered difficulties with Paypal, YouTube, and his parents. His Paypal account was shut down.[26] His YouTube account was closed. His parents then shut down his website and posted an apology which read, in part: "This site has been taken offline by the parents of VenomFangX, they don't support/share his views and apologize if he has offended anyone. This site will be offline for good in 3 days."

A video created by dprjones titled "Once Upon A Time, Part 2" posted on April 30, 2009 reveals the true intention of VenomFangX's agenda of keeping all the money over $500 for himself. The video shows an enlarged image the description box of one of VenomFangX's videos, which reads as follows,

"I need $400 a month for the car because my dad is the one paying for my school, my car, my cellphone, my house, my everything. He said that $400 a month would be a way of pulling some of my own weight and showing some responsibility. The reason why I didn't mention this when I asked for donations, is because my dad did not ask me for $400 a month until he found out I was receiving donations and preaching the gospel full time. I protested at first, but..."

As the last line shows, VenomFangX had not told his own family that he was collecting donations and was prepared to allow his father to continue to pay all of the expenses. Not only did VenomFangX steal from sick kids and a children's hospital, he was also willing to deceive his own family. And yet he still has the unmitigated gall to state that "I didn't steal anything. Don't believe everything you hear on the internet."[27]
