As many of you are aware by now, my channel was hacked on Monday Dec, 16th with the perpetrators hijacking my account, blocking me from accessing it, changing the channel name and profile pic, deleting all my videos, and posting a scam bitcoin stream before getting the entire channel terminated for violating YouTube's TOS. Thanks to you and others who reached out to me and the incredible team behind the scenes at YouTube, we were able to delete the scam videos/ streams and get back control of the channel and restore most of my videos. I'm terribly sorry this happened and I'm doing everything I can to prevent this from happening ever again.
Seeing something I’ve spent the last 5 years of my life working towards being taken away from me in just seconds was one of the worst things I’ve ever experienced and thanks to you it’s back.
Unfortunately the temporary termination of the channel means that all my videos have lost a lot of the traction they had prior to the hack so it will likely be a while before the channel gets back to where it was before but I’m optimistic for the future. I've got a new documentary style video slated for release hopefully sometime in the next couple weeks so stay tuned for that. I'm gonna get back to working on that and then hopefully take a nap, I need it lol.
Thank you again Team YouTube and everyone here for the help, it means the world.
