The U.S. Marshals Service and Apple Towing Co. are auctioning off the luxury car and jewelry collection of imprisoned YouTuber Omi in a Hellcat, which was seized in a federal piracy investigation.
Omi, whose real name is Bill Omar Carrasquillo, was sentenced to five and a half years in federal prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy, tax evasion, copyright infringement, and money laundering for his role in creating the internet-based streaming app Gears TV Reloaded. In addition to his sentence, the U.S. Marshals Service stated that "Carrasquillo is subject to a $30 million forfeiture money judgment and must pay $15 million in restitution."
In order to pay the restitution, officials seized jewelry, cash, over 20 properties, and over 50 cars, which are being auctioned off. In the collection are a Bentley, a BMW, four Lamborghinis, and two Dodge Challenger Hellcats.
A separate auction is being held for the jewelry collection, which includes a 10-karat white gold Eagles Super Bowl ring, six Rolex watches, and a diamond "Omi in a Hellcat" chain.
