His channel still exists, though a video hasn’t been posted in over two years. After an extensive investigation, the feds found Carrasquillo had amassed a massive $30 million fortune with a large-scale piracy scheme in which he was buying and reselling copyrighted material from cable tv. He was sentenced to five years in prison for “piracy of cable TV, access device fraud, wire fraud, money laundering, and hundreds of thousands of dollars of copyright infringement,” along with having to forfeit his millions and pay $15 million in restitution. Those millions helped pay for the car collection now going up for auction.
Carrasquillo along with his co-defendants operated a large-scale internet protocol television (IPTV) piracy scheme in which they fraudulently obtained cable television accounts and then resold copyrighted content to thousands of their own subscribers, who could then stream or playback content.
