In addition, those crypto scam marketers are the worst (e.g. T James). Pity those who followed them in investing in some shady scheme.

Not only the channel is up but he has deleted that video on OP and re-uploaded it so its url is changed. Its time to report this youtube video link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFDp5mFDvr4 so it gets removed too. Also i am surprised to see only 1 video in the channel and subscribers are above 11K. How is that possible ?

Most probably incentivized his viewers of bought loads of fake subscribers to pass his channel off as legit.

Earned from traffic sites or bought to artificially boost their appearance of being successful. This is why numbers mean nothing. They do not lead to sales or anything. It is just an inflated number. Only actually sale leads count. YOu can have 10million views but if no one does anything you make zero. I didn't even get to see the youtube channel to go have a laugh at it. I am glad you guys reported it and it is already down the user removed the video may be to move it elsewhere after their failed attempt to scam.

If a youtube channel has a lot of subscribers either real or fake, the new user who visit the channel/video first time will feel that this is a legal channel where there are so many subscriber and anything publish on it will not be a scam. Some newbie can be fooled by this too, so these scammers needs a lot of subscribers to make their scam a real effective one.

YouTube does detect such anomaly and terminate them, but the process will be quicker if the user reports too.

The most funniest of it all. So many bounty hunters are using multiple accounts for it, hoping that they'll earn big with the airdrop. Do hope it's true, so that they will all be dissapointed badly. Unfortunate for those who has hyped and hoped on it for their breakthrough

For sure there would be some who are fools on believing such scam even how hard we do warn them on the risk.
For bounty hunters they wont lose nothing even they would have multiple accounts.
By the way the video is already down.

'fool' is a strong word, newbie would suit better. Not every one of them is aware of warnings posted here.

It's still up, last streamed 4 days ago.

And so is this channel! Dunno what's going through YouTube's mind.

They do not have time to check the credibility of the words spoken by people in all videos. They mainly deal with copyrights and react to fraudsters probably only when they are informed by the police. Unfortunately..

Impossible, if they could flag thousands of "copyrighted" videos and dish out strikes.

Previously there was a scam channel reported on this forum which was terminated.

I don't think a few votes are enough to close the channel. I think either they need more votes or they need more time for verification.
