Pringles Outbreak Conspiracy

Leo's Pringles Outbreak is a widely known incident in the Leo's Fortune community where the fanbase was shook by a failed marketing collaboration between Leo's Fortune and Pringles that led to several being diseased or worse, dead. In spite of the outbreak however, numerous figures in the Leo's community (including Delvinze) propose that the official explanation of foodborne disease doesn't account for numerous inconsistencies in the narrative.

## Breakdown

Assuming that the Pringles Outbreak was caused by Listeria (the most deadly foodborne infection, with a mortality rate of 16.9%) it still does not account for the sheer amount of deaths. More than half of the people infected with the supposed foodborne illness died and many seemingly had no traditional symptoms of foodborne illness such as vomiting or diarrhea. The deaths were often random, and according to the families affected by the loss of those who ate Leo's Pringles, the victims died very fast with no prior signs of any infection upon closer analysis.

Delvinze, a supposed Leo's Fortune insider, claims that the Pringles incident was to be expected after prior "very deliberate misconduct" from the Leo's Fortune team, prompting rapid theorization and a rise of conspiracies in regards to figuring out what happened.

## Disclaimer

This page details not just one conspiracy, but many. There are dozens of theories on the Pringles Outbreak due to inconsistencies and Delvinze's statement that led to speculation across the board. As such, not all are documentable, but the most prominent ones will be featured below.

## The Murderer

In 2017, a user on 4chan's /b/ board posted a blood-stained sketch of a deranged Leo and Oel with a strange object on the bottom left, alongside more imagery of mutilated corpses that soon mostly got deleted. Due to Leoverse's relative obscurity, it would take a good amount of time until the images hit the community, but one thing immediately stood out to members once they found it later in 2019 - Oel's inclusion. Given that Delvinze only posted proof of Oel circa 2018, it became immediately suspicious that someone would have an image of an unknown character and coincidentally was posted only mere weeks after the Pringles Outbreak.
At some point, many members of the Leoverse began tagging the developers on social media hoping for a response to the strange imagery conveyed, but all of them went ignored. The case went cold until a big breadcrumb became apparent: the object on the bottom left.

With some analysis and editing of one of the gore-riddled images that were included in the 4chan thread, it immediately became apparent that this object had some prominence as strange traces of it were found in every single image posted, thus not only proving their correlation to a presumable actual murderer on the loose, but seeming to be a sign of signature for the crimes committed.

The primary theory, then, is that the contaminated Pringles merely served as a cover story for a mass murderer on the loose who had tied himself to the Leo's Fortune brand, which would immensely damage the company and games reputation, so tying it into a failed marketing ploy was a gigantic success in hiding the truth. Alternative proposals of the Murderer theory however, suggest that 1337 Game Design was somehow behind the murders for reasons unknown, but these theories are largely shot down for lack of proof. The most likely explanation is a crime unrelated to the Pringles ordeal being spearheaded by a serial killer who just so happens to be a Leo's Fortune fan, yet to this day the truth is unknown.
