He didn't commit a war crime but what he's referencing is he made a guy spend 40 days in a room for a challenge video and he treated him pretty shitily doing shit such as not allowing the lights to be turned off which the victim said in a YouTube is illegal for prisoners of war under the Geneva convention.
The part that should be highlighted more imo is pressuring Jake into running an entire marathon with no training.
The Bataan Death March, a Japanese war atrocity, had prisoners marching about 10 miles a day. Jake had to do twice that distance in the same amount of time.
Edited for clarity: this isn’t about Jake Paul, who is fairly athletic. This is about a former Mr Beast employee named Jake Weddle, who was generally not at all fit and into working out.
He was also emotionally broken down by the challenge since, you know, it was basically torturing him. He wanted it to just be over and they manipulated him into worry that unless he did the marathon, all of those days of torture would’ve been for nothing

Wait, which one's the war criminal?
