A well-known YouTuber who was sentenced to five and a half years in prison early this year is having his car collection, which includes a Power-Rangers-themed Lamborghini, auctioned off by the US Marshals Service.
Bill Omar Carrsaquillo, known on YouTube as “Omi in a Hellcat,” was sentenced for crimes arising from a wide-ranging criminal scheme that involved piracy of cable TV, access device fraud, wire fraud, money laundering, and hundreds of thousands of dollars of copyright infringement,” the US Marshals shared in a press release.
Along with his prison sentence, Carrsaquillo was also subject to a $30 million forfeiture money judgment and must pay $15 million in restitution, the press release shared.
Now, to make up the funds Carrsaquillo is responsible for, the Marshals are auctioning 57 of his unique luxury cars, motorcycles, ATVs, and other vehicles in his car collection.
The auction is set to take place in person on Oct. 13. However, bids have already begun for several of his vehicles online, including his Lamborghini Aventador, which is wrapped in Power Rangers imagery. The bid as of Sunday afternoon was $388,000.
Other vehicles featured in the action include three other Lamborghinis, a Mercedes-Benz, four Jeeps, a Bentley, three Dodge Charger Hellcats, and more.
Other items being auctioned include some of Carrsaquillo’s jewelry, including a massive diamond-studded pendant that he often wore in videos on his channel.
Carrsaquillo’s YouTube channel focused on his journey in the world of luxury cars, often showing him purchasing and showcasing luxury cars.
In total, his account has more than 818,000 subscribers, with several of his videos amassing millions of views.
The Justice Department shared in a news release that Carrsaquillo and his co-defendants were operating a “large-scale internet protocol television (IPTV) piracy scheme in which they fraudulently obtained cable television accounts and then resold copyrighted content to thousands of their own subscribers.”
Through their scheme, the group earned upwards of $30 million, the release says. It was thanks to these funds that Carrsaquillo was able to buy several homes and luxury vehicles.
