You Tube Vlogger Omi In A
Hellcat Sentenced To Prison And $30 Million In
Forfeitures

Omi In A Hellcat
You Tube vlogger, Omi In A Hellcat,
real name Bill Omar Carrasquillo, 36, has been
sentenced to 5 and 1/2 years in federal prison for
intellectual property piracy. Carrasquillo was
selling $15 per month subscriptions to streaming
cable content, which is criminal copyright
infringement, among other charges.
He made millions doing so and
purchased homes, multiple sports cars and expensive
jewelry. Carrasquillo flaunted his wealth on the
internet to his 800,000 followers. He was arrested
by the federal government in 2021 and placed on
trial.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported,
"Omi in a Hellcat pleaded guilty last year to
running one of the most brazen and successful cable
TV piracy schemes ever prosecuted by the U.S.
government." This week Carrasquillo pleaded guilty
and was sentenced to prison. He was facing three
decades behind bars.
Carrasquillo stated, "I really
didn't know the significance of this crime until I
was picked up [by the FBI] at my home. I feel like I
let everybody down." Oh the irony. Hollywood steals
billions in copyrights on a yearly basis and
devalues them, as they have no talent, and no one
arrests them (The FBI Is
Stonewalling Congress On Releasing FBI File In
Madonna Human Rights Abuse Case (Congressional
Documents)).
The FBI steals billions in
intellectual property on a regular basis and no one
arrests them (Former FBI
Directors Robert Mueller And James Comey
Criminally Defrauded Florida Submarine Company
Out Of Billions Of Dollars In Copyrights And
Patents To Benefit Former Employer Lockheed
Martin Then Stonewalled Congress Regarding It).
This is called hypocrisy and
corruption. Who could respect or take them seriously
after such brazen criminal actions as law
enforcement and corporate entities. They are an
embarrassment. Not to mention, they are headed for
unprecedented, domestic and global disaster with
what they're doing.
