In a series of videos posted on his TikTok account, Amigo Chino has claimed that he’s responsible for the car crash that occurred at Orange Theory Fitness. He says he was placed on house arrest after the incident.
The content creator’s videos have gone viral for his antics, which seem too exaggerated to be real. There are no reports of him getting arrested or causing the car crash at the gym in Boston last month. Yet, he’s seen wearing an ankle bracelet, and that has left TikTok users really confused.
Amigo Chino claims he caused Orange Theory car crash on TikTok
A driverless car indeed crashed into the Orange Theory Fitness building in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, in October, but there are no reports that suggest Amigo was the one to cause it.
In a viral video, the man claims he placed a brick on his boss’ gas pedal to make the car move on its own and crash into the building after he allegedly got “fired on the first day” of the job.
The following video on his account displays an unverified news story with an NBC Boston banner, reporting his narration of the incident in an AI-generated voice.
The headline shown in his TikTok reads: “Mass TikTokkker ‘amigo chino’ arrested Wednesday morning on the count of destruction of a Orange Theory Fitness building.” However, there is no such report on NBC Boston’s website.
The story only gets interesting as Chino claims he got out on bail thanks to the help of a “homie”. But, he says he was placed on house arrest.
TikToker says he’s on the run
In his TikTok, Chino shows off his ankle bracelet after claiming that he was on house arrest. But, in the following video, he cuts it open and tells his followers he wasn’t abiding by the law.
In the series of videos posted in less than 24 hours, the content creator claims to be ‘on the run’ after getting rid of his ankle bracelet but advises his followers to not repeat the mistakes he has made.
Chino says he’s trying to get to California from Boston with very little money on him while his phone is running out of battery as well.
While he is ‘on the run’, Chino has urged his followers to buy the “Free Amigo” merch. His website has items displaying his picture that resembles a mug shot with #freechino printed below it.
It appears to be an elaborate prank
Amigo’s claims about being responsible for the Orange Theory gym crash seem like an elaborate prank pulled on TikTok to promote himself and his range of merch.
The supposed screenshot of NBC Boston’s article about him does not exist on the news outlet’s website, and there is no record of him being arrested either.
To add to the above, the owner of Orange Theory has confirmed that the accident occurred when he activated the remote start while walking to the car.
There is no evidence to prove that Chino’s claims are true, but since viewers are hooked on his story about being on the run from Boston to California, many are curious to know how it’s going to end.
