In a landmark case, YouTube personality Bill Omar Carrasquillo, popularly known as “Omi in a Hellcat,” has been handed a substantial prison sentence and ordered to pay a staggering £24 million following his conviction for orchestrating one of the largest TV piracy operations prosecuted by the United States government.
