American teen influencer Ethan Guo has been stuck in a remote part of Antarctica since June. Authorities say he landed his small plane illegally after providing false flight plan data to officials.

    a judge dropped the charges as part of an agreement with his lawyers and Chile’s prosecutors. It requires the teen to give a $30,000 donation to a children’s cancer foundation within 30 days to avoid a trial.

    Kind of a great judgement considering he was planning on donating that money anyway.

      Yes, but now he has to donate the money rather than just say he’s going to do it.

    They have now arrived at the found out portion of stupidity.

    At least he was trying to do something for a good cause (collecting for cancer research) but in a stupid way.

    He should maybe have run the plan past someone before violating laws.
