      @Lightn0x the date for the restitution hearing hasn’t been set yet. They mentioned $1.4 million in the article but they are still looking for other victims. The final amount won’t be decided until the restitution hearing is complete. That article also said that the $23 million that was scammed was split between at least 5 other co conspirators

      All you have to do as scammer is to gift that money to family or invest it outside of country you live, preferably in country with no extradition laws like Argentina and you will never have to return anything. I don't think there was single person in history of USA to actually pay what court ordered. It's almost always settled outside courtroom at much much lower sum as most scammers will have very little if any money that can be connected to them. I worked in European IRS for years then as accountant, trust me they will not pay anything, they will return to same scam in matter of days, we even got some people continue to do scamms from within prisons by proxies... It's YT that needs to change it's policy or nothing will change

      Wow. That is very sad and pathetic how UA-cam's community guidelines and rules against false copyright claims and false copyright strikes, do not value the security of their users like a real bank. They do not take cheaters of the copyright system seriously enough to de-incentivize these offenses from happening again simply because they think they are big enough to recover from this. UA-cam wrongfully assumes that no grand larceny will be grand enough to shut them down forever, not even shut them down for a short week.

    The biggest take away is just how broken UA-cam copyright system still is even after over a decade.
    I remember when PewDiePie just mentioned Despacito in a video title, didn't even play the song (half attempted a couple chords on a guitar) and the video was claimed 27 times for a song _that wasn't played in the video._
    So 27 people, individuals or parasitic legal firms, claimed the video saying they represented the copyright holder, and UA-cam said 'oh, yeah, seems legit'.

It stopped a few years later (they probably didn't make enough from it).
