·It's crazy YouTube is allow his channel back up. I'm guessing most of his audience has no idea of the fakes.

·His channel is back up on YouTube:

Yet to make any sort of formal statement and he's turned off commenting (I wonder why...) on his videos for the most part.

·It astounds me that his channel is back up. There is pretty solid evidence that he knowingly scammed a couple people and it wasn't an "accident".

I'm sure he must have seen some sort of drop-off in subscriptions, but I think until the authorities get involved (as has been rumoured by the guy who was at the centre of all this and other people who are owed money from him etc), I'm not sure there's a lot YouTube can do.

I'm sure it's back up because he probably needs the income it generates. YouTube doesn't have a strong track record for policing its content, even when hate speech is involved, so even when authorities are involved YouTube won't do much. They only seem to care about DMCA takedowns, so if his content is his own, it will probably live on.
You can report a channel for fraud, but if you go through the process you have to flag specific fraudulent videos. I haven't watched his content but I'm guessing none of them was provably a scam in and of itself. You can argue that the fake vs real Rolex video really makes his actual crimes more reprehensible (he's purporting to help people to gain trust then selling them fakes) but the video by itself is probably not an actual crime. I could be wrong but I'm not at all surprised that the channel is up.

That makes sense. On a personal note, I think it was inappropriate for some of the people to go after his full time day job (especially those that were just internet speculators on the TRF and not people who were scammed by him) but I do hope the victims are able to obtain some form of justice.
