More than 30 defendants have been charged in a $65 million multinational fraud and money laundering scheme targeting elders across the United States, with a little help from the YouTubers behind channels Scammer Payback and Trilogy Media.

Scammer Payback host Pierogi, alongside Trilogy Media’s Ashton Bingham and Art Kulik (who also host the Fox Nation show “Scammed: Getting Even”), helped federal law enforcement identify multiple defendants and uncover the structure of the conspiracy, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
