J4MES OX4D 10,276 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I tend to avoid all of this so called 'YouTube drama' that plagues the site now, but one thing that has materialised in recent days is two popular Call of Duty channel owners; Tmartn and Syndicate have been exposed in shocking fashion for running a shady CSGO Gambling website that entices minors to gamble with money and items whilst scamming and defrauding them along with their YT subscribers and other users. They then advertised it on their channels after pretending to stumble across it. They breached several laws and Google ToS in failing to disclose ownership of the site when promoting it on YouTube and when initially confronted about it; they further deceived and lied whilst attempting to cover their tracks in embarrassing style to leave people further enraged and their diminished credibility left in tatters. Tmartn has since gone into hiding it seems and disabled all likes/dislikes and comments on all his videos. He is also a content promoter for Activision so it will be interesting to see if that relationship survives but it is highly unlikely that a corporation like that will want to continue working with someone who's essentially a prolific liar, criminal and who breaks the most basic YouTube guidelines for content. Syndicate has apologised for 'misleading' people except it wasn't a question of people being simply mislead; it was a systematic deception of scamming, fraud, lies and then even more lies when they defended themselves and tried to pull the wool over people's eyes knowing full well what they were doing and this had been going on for some considerable time. These grey area sites may not be illegal yet but from a moral standpoint; what they have done is mortifying especially considering they are two multi-millionaire people through their YouTube channels alone. It's like Lord Alan Sugar running a website illegally selling guns on the side from his technology businesses. They have however breached advertising laws worldwide which falls under a criminal offence and in regards to the Google ToS in respect to these laws; they warrant and account termination without notice. This is also Syndicate's 3rd offence so why his channel is still up is beyond me. The most horrific fact is them basically scamming anyone and everyone that goes onto the site including naive minors who get reeled in after being essentially shilled by the videos uploaded to Tmartn's YouTube where he pretends to win $13,000 (on his own site) to entice all users further. Here are some videos that outline the situation more clearly along with evidence that Tmartn has tried to remove and manipulate in a pathetic attempt at covering his own backside. Thankfully the internet is way ahead of him. More lies exposed when originally challenged on his antics.

Sennex 1,973 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Attempt #3 here goes! Youtube "stars" need to be beaten with hoses and forced to get real jobs, with absolutely zero internet connection for the rest of their lives. Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

J4MES OX4D 10,276 Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 This guy is quite possibly the worst person I've ever seen on YouTube. He made an apology video last night, monetised it, blamed the fans/customers whilst failing to acknowledge his deceptions along with not trying to incriminate himself and after a swarm of hate worldwide after people saw through more lies and ultimately a fake apology to appease his naive supporters; he then took the video down before contacting a law firm to hide behind for protection! The BBC have taken up the story, PC Gamer are making a mockery of him and other big YouTubers including his friends are even mortified by his conduct. YouTube has become a hellhole since Google bought and incorporated ad revenue in which people exploit to the max.
