    ATLANTA - Good food is supposed to nourish the soul as well as the body.
    But the FOX 5 I-Team says an Atlanta social media influencer who touts his cooking skills online has left behind a mess of consumer complaints and hurt feelings. And worse.
    "This has been a living nightmare," complained Atlanta resident Melenese Ford.
    Darius Williams, 39, once owned two Atlanta restaurants that he closed in January 2020. He’s since built an impressive online presence under the pseudonym Darius Cooks.

      @Malus Only if there are repeated visits in a threatening, sly (sneaking), trespassing after lawful order of previous law that was broken), and/or in any other illegal matter. Having a news crew show up, politely talk, even respect wishes of said person to have the camera move away, and not do anything out of the normal for a reporter to do... yeah... you might want to go back to an Adult Education Center for extended learning on what you have zero knowledge about. And yes, he actually is breaking federal law : "The federal law concerning cyberstalking is 18 U.S.C. § 2261A(2). It provides that it's unlawful for any person to engage in a course of conduct through electronic communication that makes another individual reasonably fear death or serious bodily harm to themselves or another (including a pet or service animal). The behavior may also be illegal if it causes or could cause “substantial emotional distress.” A course of conduct means two or more acts suggesting that the individual has or will continue the behavior. Potential conviction penalties for cyberstalking:
      Death results: Up to life in prison
      Permanent disfigurement or life-threatening injury results: Up to 20 years in prison
      Serious bodily injury results or a dangerous weapon was used to commit the offense: Up to 10 years in prison
      All other circumstances: Up to 5 years in prison
      In addition to imprisonment, the court may also order the alleged offender to pay a $250,000 fine." So I hope he gets what's coming to him, shady ****.

      No, he's was actually at an Air B&B that's what he meant by rented, doing Dinning with Darius, $215 a pop. Personally I think he's going to finish dinning with Darius dates for this year, collect the money from sells of next year then leave and move to Mexico. He sold his house last month.

    The way they shaded him doxing by filming the reporter in a kitchen and then metaphorically naming the ingredients with physical kitchen-ware 🤣 this is reporting at its finest.

      That's silly, people sell things online all the time. Any time you purchase anything online do you expect this type of behavior from a person or company? No.

      @@charmp3498 Made millions and being a millionaire is completely different. I've made millions but I'm not a millionaire. As far as ppl posting transactions and recipes I don't really trust those. I can create transactions and recipes to make it look like any amount I want to. It's not hard when you know how to edit HTML.

    I wonder if there is a way to angle it as endangerment of personal safety because while it’s not illegal for personal contact info to be public, I would think there could be a case for malicious intent, and instigating harassment of others.

    I paid upfront fees to his 701 Credit Repair Service over 4 years ago, never received an initial phone call as stated on his then site. I had to file a complaint with my bank for services I never received. Glad my bank gave me my money back. This isn’t good for him. I doubt he ever recovers from this. Seeing this today, I am not surprised.
