At the beginning of the year, YouTuber Omi in a Hellcat (Bill Omar Carrasquillo) was sentenced to 66 months in prison for illegally selling content hijacked from cable boxes. He and his accomplices earned 30 million dollars (or about 28.6 million euros) from this illegal activity. Now, he has to pay cable operators $10.7 million (€10.2 million), the IRS $5 million (€4.7 million), and will lose his car collection.
“I really didn’t know the significance of this crime until I was picked up at my home. I feel like I let everybody down,” said Bill Omar Carrasquillo.
His car collection is offered for sale and consists of a total of 32 cars, as well as several quads, motorcycles and other vehicles. Among them are two copies of the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, Dodge Durango SRT, four Lamborghinis, two Ford Mustangs, Audi R8, Acura NSX, Bentley Continental GT, BMW M8, Toyota Supra, Honda Civic Type R and others. The star of the auction is the 2019 Lamborghini Aventador LP740-4S, which is adorned with a foil with a Power Rangers design.
“Thirty million dollars is a lot of money, tangible objects aren’t everything. You have a large following and there may be people who think if you can get away with it, they can too,” said U.S. District Judge Harvey Bartle III.
