Wed, 23 Apr 2025
Youtuber and live streamer Vitaly decided to make some controversial streams in the Philippines and now he's facing 24 years in prison
Chapter 1: Who is Vitaly and why is he famous for pranks?
So this prank influencer is looking at possibly 24 years in prison. Now his name is Vitaly and Vitaly really loves attention. Bro will do anything for it. And he's been making YouTube videos for a long time. And like early on he gets big doing prank videos. Like here's one where he pretends to be a zombie and like chases people around.
Then in 2012 he does a prank where he pretends to have a bum in a suitcase. And of course, this freaks people out, and they run away, and so, bam, he gets arrested. Here's his mugshot. Two years later, in 2014, he pulls a stunt where he runs onto the field during the World Cup, and bam, he gets caught and arrested for that.
Then in 2016, he pulls a stunt where he tries to climb the Hollywood sign, and bam, he gets arrested for that. Two weeks later, at the NBA Finals game, he runs onto the court shirtless during a game, and bam, he gets arrested yet again. Then the next year in 2017, at the World Series, during the game, he runs out onto the field in his underwear, and they catch him, and bam, he's arrested again.
Here's his mugshot. Oh, and it doesn't stop there, because three years later in 2020, Bro goes to Egypt, and he thinks it'll be a good idea to climb to the top of one of the pyramids of Giza and vlog himself doing so.
I love you so much, world. Thank you, universe. Thank you, Mother Nature.
And of course, bam, he gets arrested there, and he spends five days in Egyptian jail. Oh, but he's still not done, because like I said, bro really, really loves all this attention. Three months later, he's in Miami, and he's high on, he says mushrooms, but I'm assuming multiple drugs.
and he's out and about walking around and I guess he decides he's gonna pull another dumbass prank on a random person and there's a woman out jogging and suddenly boom he jumps out in front of her and he goes to hug her while she's jogging and I guess she reacts and shoves him off of her and pow he ends up punching her again and again and he ends up beating the shit out of her and so of course bam he gets arrested again here's his mugshot
Yeah, like I said, it looks like he's on multiple drugs. Anyway, you can clearly see a pattern here. Dude just wants attention so bad that he's become, like, allergic to being a decent citizen. But, lucky for all of us, after his arrest in Miami, he kinda stops all of his antics. I mean, getting arrested for beating the hell out of a random woman, I mean, that's pretty bad.
And so, he stops everything. But then, a year or two later, he decides to try and make a comeback. And he's gonna film himself doing some more internet pranks, aka harassing people in public. Hello?

Chapter 2: What are some of Vitaly's most notorious arrests before 2020?
dispatch dispatch i'm a homosexual then he goes to a nearby mall and steals one of those light therapy facial masks then he goes and steals a whole ass pedestal fan that's my only fan left in the chat And these aren't the only things he's done, but you know, this is a lot of it.
And lots and lots of people watch him stream and they watch his clips online and they like donate to him and his stream. And it just looks like he's going to get away with all this and just continue being a turd. Until... You know who else was watching a lot of these clips? Apparently, the Filipino police. Because a few days after all this, they find him and bam, they arrest him.
Here's his mugshot. And this apparently just continues to be a joke to him because I mean, look at him. He's like smirking in his mugshot like he did something. Not only that, he's also making faces to the camera as they're reading him his Miranda rights. It also looks like he's applauding himself as he's being arraigned. So yeah, not taking it seriously at all.
Well, bro should take it seriously because the Philippines don't appear to be f***ing around. Because this story blows up over there and it's all over the news like the whole country's talking about it.
In fact, it gets so much attention that the president of the Philippines gets involved and he films himself watching Vitaly's pranks and he makes a whole ass reaction video to it and puts it on his YouTube channel. And here the president actually says foreigners who think they can humiliate Filipinos are done. This is an example that we are serious about our own country.
So apparently there are no plans for the government to be lenient on him here. And while Vitaly hasn't been sentenced yet, he's looking at a possible 24 years in prison. And to make it worse, his trial for all this isn't even expected to start for another two to three years, which means he will likely be sitting in a Filipino jail for a few years before his trial even starts.
So I guess he finally got all the attention he wanted. Good luck with that.
