Deception, Lies, and CSGO

It would've prevented ▶ this video from getting caught. Not that that's a good thing, but it's an example of the type of business an anonymous LLC would be used for.

There was a not-dissimilar scam orchestrated by some popular Youtube channels last year, also mostly targeted at their own followers and fans: ▶ this video They created a Counter-Strike "lottery" website and uploaded a lot of videos of themselves winning big, while never disclosing that they were the secret owners of the site. Of course, their supposed recorded lottery winnings were staged as a way to drive traffic and money to the site.

>"Instead, according to the complaint, Warner Bros. instructed influencers to place the disclosures in the description box appearing below the video. Because Warner Bros. also required other information to be placed in that box, the vast majority of sponsorship disclosures appeared “below the fold,” visible only if consumers clicked on the “Show More” button in the description box. In addition, when influencers posted YouTube videos on Facebook or Twitter, the posting did not include the “Show More” button, making it even less likely that consumers would see the sponsorship disclosures." So a disclosure in the notes box below a video is not enough. I wonder what this will mean for the guys from CSGOLotto [0] who are caught up in a seemingly worse controversy of non disclosure and more. [0] ▶ this video
