TLDR Popular YouTuber OMI IN A HELLCAT was raided by the FBI last year in connection with his 'pirate' IPTV service Gears TV. Omar Carrasquillo was reportedly targeted in a massive FBI raid last November. He claims Comcast prompted the FBI to take action, knowing it would be an 'uphill battle' for him. He says the entire operation against him grew out of his position as the founder of Gears, an unpaid tax bill, and allegations of money laundering.via the TL;DR App
