Khalil's career and public profile suffered in the aftermath of allegations of charity fraud involving both Indieland and the Open Hand Foundation in late 2023; this resulted in him resigning from the foundation and being removed from the podcasts Friends Per Second Podcast and Super Beard Bros, which he had co-hosted since their creations, while his Youtube content output slowed down increasingly over the following year.

[7] After meeting internet personality Arin Hanson, Khalil became inspired to create his YouTube career again, with an emphasis towards playing video games to 100% completion.

[7] Mike Andronico of CNN described Khalil's videos as "backed by his articulate, authoritative and entertaining narration, which make the channel's deep dives on retro games and modern blockbusters accessible for even non-gamers.

[9] In addition to The Completionist, he also created Let's Play videos on the channel Super Beard Bros. with collaborators Alex Faciane and Brett Bayonne.

[10] Khalil was a member of the gaming collective Normal Boots, a YouTube network featuring creators such as PeanutButterGamer, JonTron and ProJared.

[6] Created alongside Emily Rose Jacobson, the premise involves Khalil portraying Kratos from God of War in an office setting.

However, Jobst highlighted that the foundation's website lists the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) as a recipient of research funding.

[4][31] In December 2023, Friends Per Second Podcast co-hosts Jake Baldino, Lucy James and Ralph Panebianco announced that they would be separating from Khalil, following the mishandling of funds associated with the Open Hand Foundation.

[‡ 4] In January 2024, Super Beard Bros. co-hosts Faciane and Bayonne announced that the channel would be separating from Khalil, and that they would be shifting to independent funding going forward.

[‡ 5][‡ 6] Khalil appeared as a character in the video game Asagao Academy, a dating sim and visual novel created by and featuring members of Normal Boots in 2014.
