This video investigates a series of scams involving a Valorant video editor known as Zhorich, who defrauded several prominent YouTubers, including Dante and Keymon. The scheme involved building trust through successful orders before requesting advance payments and then disappearing, leaving victims with lost money and wasted time.
At least two major scam cases among Valorant YouTubers have come to light, with the deception built on gradual trust-building rather than a simple money grab.
Zhorich is a relatively unknown YouTuber and editor who gained attention through his editing style, which attracted many YouTubers like Rounds, Dante, and Keymon.
Zhorich previously ran a channel with clickbait videos about Standoff 2 and later transitioned to casino-related content, indicating a history of black propaganda.
Zhorich inspired trust among YouTubers by delivering work perfectly and on time, leading to collaborations with several prominent creators.
Dante worked with Zhorich for a couple of months, but after sending footage for ten videos, Zhorich failed to complete several, leading to a loss of money and time.
Keymon, a friend of the narrator, also reported being scammed by Zhorich, who requested an advance payment for editing and then disappeared without delivering.
Both scams followed a similar pattern: successful initial orders, trust-building, then a switch to prepayment, followed by delays, promises, and eventual disappearance.
Despite the scams, Zhorich continues to work with other YouTubers, and some creators still choose to collaborate with him despite knowing about his past.
The video concludes that while the financial amounts involved are small, the loss of time and trust is significant. It advises aspiring YouTubers to avoid working with editors on a full prepayment basis and to be cautious about who they trust.

04:07Advice for Aspiring YouTubers
This is a direct, actionable piece of advice that can help others avoid similar scams.
19:34[00:09] least two major cases of scams among Volorant YouTubers have come to light. And I'm almost sure that in reality there were many more such stories. It's just that not everyone decided to make it public. The most interesting thing is that the deception scheme was
[00:21] not as simple as it might seem at first glance. It was built not on a banal money-skinning and so far, but on the gradual gaining of trust. I do gradual gaining of trust. I do
[00:33] . And several famous authors were caught at once . Well, you probably understood what the joke was about, [laughter] [ __ ]. OK. [snorts] And some time later,
[00:45] a closer look at what actually happened, how this scheme worked, and why it turned out to be so effective. Well, I’ll also tell you about this so that you yourself never find yourself in a similar situation. This is very important, because
[00:58] our ran community is quite small. Many people know each other, work together and are used to trusting people they know. But, as this story shows, even a person Yes, dear friends, I started taking hormonal pills, well, the
[01:12] ones for women, and I wanted to play Alora anyway. Qi can simply disappear at some point, leaving behind lost money and a lot of wasted time. So, today we will talk about such a person as
[01:25] Zhorić. You certainly don't know him, because he's a fairly unknown YouTuber, and by now, if you heard his nickname, you wouldn't. Onakhty was generally. It's a joke. This is a joke, you know? Cool. It's a joke. I do
[01:38] n't drink anything at all. Trusting him is a joke. Cool. Joke. Cool. He has been running only thing he can do to attract attention is his appearance, which is
[01:50] somewhat reminiscent of Dippins' mug. And the second thing is his editing, which is the reason why many YouTubers like many YouTubers like Rounds, Dante, Keymon and even him contacted him. His
[02:02] editing is quite What the [ __ ], what is the connection between Larantery and Navalny? Plerok is better. Why have over 5 million users realized that secure transactions, commission-free Steam top-ups with on-screen promo codes, and thousands of products
[02:17] are more than just words? We have everything for games, for studying, for relaxation. without restrictions. Look carefully. Items, donations, battle passes, in-game currency, Telegram stars, neural networks, and music at the best
[02:30] prices. Check it out yourself. If it's profitable, then the player is typical for RN content. The installation structure looks like this. Gameplay, meme inserts, gags, and cheerful background music. Brats,
[02:45] beloved viewers, fans, Telegram subscribers, Twitch subscribers, subscribers, in short, I'm going to break a real record for assists using the mix. for assists using the mix. Okay, here's the first one. Nice heals a little.
[02:59] Okay, here's the first one. Nice heals a little. Oh, my teammates are feeding me. Finished it. There was only one left. I get it, basically, a typical dude who plays a game. And hello, look how awesome I am. Ha-ha. Oh,
[03:14] you loser. Oh, [ __ ], damn, I'm a wretch. Oh, [ __ ], I'm a loser. Well, a typical editor, in short amazing, damn. Well, game editing, yes. Yes, normal. Everyone loves to lose. This type of editing is used by most
[03:26] YouTube chefs because it doesn't take long to do and is Yes, rather, because it works well. This is the target audience of For the typical viewer, this montage is eye-catching. Zhoric himself is
[03:41] nothing interesting. An ordinary guy who streams Laran, Well, by the way, he doesn’t look like Dipens, as Zlyukh said, he looks like this Frederick or whatever his name is, Frederick, this
[03:53] In short, a typical Larant content maker. And I thought so for a while, until I found his old YouTube channel, which was able to reveal a personality like Zhoric much more widely. Or, to be more precise, Mason. Anyway, as I understand it, this guy used to
[04:07] make clickbait videos about Stand of 2. Our skins went down the drain. The first batch is here. Do you think we'll get a skin for 03? I don't know, it to talk. Does it fly to Rebyata, what do you think?
[04:31] Have you seen 03? It was 003. Chat, imagine, gold schools, can also see many of the videos that helped him subscribers in the Shors tab. So he made crappy stand- up content for several years,
[04:46] well, it’s very similar to Eliza, only even more slow, it seems. online casinos. And you see, oh, that's how it feels, by the way , when you take a Kazik. He didn't mind, because after a while, short videos began appearing on
[05:00] his channel instead of the usual shorts about Standof , where the booster supposedly plays in a casino. [laughter] [laughter] This is [ __ ], [ __ ], this is [ __ ], I'm
[05:12] telling you. They made the same videos about me: with Kazik and with Natiki. And judging by the latest comments, his former audience has noticed. After which, on May 4, 25, he uploaded his last video on behalf of the booster and
[05:28] disappeared from this channel, moving to a new channel, but this time a waltz, apparently to start from scratch. I hope no one finds out about his dark mean it's true. I don't use yatiki without you. It wouldn't be
[05:41] now, by the way, it was nice. You could send hearts after this. It is clear in advance that this person has been involved in black propaganda for a very long time. But it was with him at some point, namely
[05:53] about six months ago, that many YouTubers started working on Velant. Judging by Zhorich's Telegram posts, one can conclude that he was very happy working with these guys and earning money peacefully. Well, yes, I found myself some guys with
[06:06] whom I can contact, uh, edit, earn money, as if it’s comfortable, as if it’s ideal. Things didn't go this way for several months, until a lull occurred on Zhorich's YouTube and Telegram channels,
[06:18] which continues to this day. The last video was published on day. The last video was published on April 24. These previews are just [laughter] my respect. I don't know the author of the channel. This is very nice. Rodian in 7 minutes. Mm.
[06:32] Radians in 12 minutes. [laughter] Winrade 99%. Winrade 99%. Come to us. O. Likovan [laughter] [ __ ], it's beautifully simple. May 20th. And the last post in the Telegram channel was on
[06:49] May 14. But, by the way, this post was about a new video on YouTube, which, if you follow the link, has already been deleted. The reason for the deletion is unknown. The video might be just crap, but that doesn't matter. Zhorich inspired trust among YouTubers; he did everything
[07:02] perfectly and on time. But recently something happened that caused all the YouTubers to slowly start turning away from him and stop working. First of all , the one who stopped working with him was Artem Rauns. Unfortunately, no
[07:15] know him. No, it’s just known that Raunsa I remember Uras at a certain point when I was playing Larant for a bit. I have never played actively, dear friends. Yes,
[07:27] yes, because I have self-esteem and in general I don’t point I looked a little at Rounds just for the sake of Vladat's lore, the revelation of the universe and everything in that spirit. And the immortal did not fall. So I was just
[07:42] Immortal. I didn't play actively. Korich and simply stopped taking installation services from him. But the most interesting thing happened recently, when Dante made this post on his Telegram channel. And let me take it apart. Dante, like
[07:56] all other YouTubers, started working with Zhorić. It is unknown who wrote to whom first, but they worked together for a couple of months. As Dante writes, they caught decent amount of trust. At one point, Dante sent him footage
[08:11] from ten game rinks for video agents in 24 hours. Later, the editor reported that he would not be able to edit three of them, so these rinks had to be handed over to other editors. As a result, Zhorić had seven games left, which he had to
[08:24] finish on his own. Since the collaboration had been going well up until then, Dante decided to work on an advance payment basis. He Oh , that's a mistake. This is a mistake. In short, uh, now, of course, some editors will say that there is no such thing, but the fact is
[08:37] that most editors are lazy bastards, [ __ ], and you can’t give them money up front, and even more so you can’t give them the opportunity want. You have to set a strict timer and [ __ ] them in the mouth so that they at least
[08:54] do something. This is true. This is true. They are [ __ ] up, if if you set limits for them, create a system of fines, they work. The problem is, for example, that sometimes it’s hard for me to do this, really hard. I still have a story
[09:06] about how one guy, uh, edited something. Well, that is, I did it, in short, so that you understand, well, what I did. I made the audio, cut it, inserted the video, cut it, and all he had to do was, damn it, do some motion editing, that is,
[09:20] add transitions somewhere, uh, some logos, that's all. That is, there is some really super do it in a week. The video is twelve minutes long? And [ __ ], think about it, twelve minutes long? And [ __ ], think about it, I was on vacation,
[09:34] because he was crying, [ __ ], so I would n’t scold him, and I was explaining to him how to edit. This is what you understood. Although, in all fairness, I should tell him to [ __ ] off , because, damn, I also have, well, timings, I need to
[09:48] this, look, right here, in short, take it like this, like this, like this and that's it." He paid for four future videos at once, 5,000 rubles each. for each. The editor completed the first part of the job, but problems began with the second. One video was
[10:03] made normally, the second had obvious mistakes, and he simply didn’t finish the remaining two . No, I'm not kind, I just, in short, I very easily succumb to people's pity. That is, if the dude starts like, "Yeah, [ __ ], well, like,"
[10:18] scold him, he understands that he's wrong, I need to help him." Zhorich finished after that I even with moderation, if I remind you, I threaten them with fines so much, I have n't issued a single fine yet. Not a single one, [ __ ]. Although in fact, there were a shitload of reasons for fines, just in
[10:33] I started getting in touch. A couple of days later, he finally showed up and explained the delay by problems in real life. Danta didn't start a conflict and just asked him know, what I really lack, from the point of view of the boss, I lack, uh,
[10:50] ruthlessness to come and outright not be afraid to change people, to [ __ ] on them, to say, well, that's it, a fine, go and cry there. I don't give a [ __ ] about work at all What's missing, this trait is missing in me . That is, even if I I behave
[11:04] cruelly and am like, "Do it this way," and in the end I still say, "Eh, okay, dude, let's resolve this issue right now." Or send the finished me. In short, I'm a bad boss. I'm a bad boss, I'm sure of it. A lousy boss.
[11:17] The series, so that it could be handed over to another editor. Zhorich replied that most of the work was almost finished, but after that he disappeared again. As a result, Dante had to look for people again, give them the same material and
[11:30] n't get back part of the money transferred . Honestly, all sorts of things happen to people in life. This is not kindness. Holy [ __ ], you're confusing things. This is not kindness, but the fact that I succumb to, in short, to people's pity when they admit that they are
[11:45] wrong. And instead of continuing to scold them, imposing fines on them so that they, well, already understand for sure that they are, well, guilty, I believe that, well, Maybe I'll immediately be like, "Okay, whatever,
[12:00] we'll figure it out somehow now." That's it. Zhorich really did have some problems. For example, it was June at the time of the events, and maybe he was busy with his diploma, or something else happened. After all, not enough time has passed to
[12:12] Maybe he'll come back soon, explain everything, and return the money. And this could theoretically be the case if this situation hadn't happened again with my best friend Keymon. Maratik also made a post
[12:25] about Zhorich's scam and even uploaded a short, which I'll show you so you understand everything better I was scammed by Raunza and Dante's editor. Let me tell you everything. Zhorich wrote to me. He's a YouTube blogger, streamer, and editor of top YouTubers on Vlarant. He
[12:39] made me a test video. Everything was high-quality and fast, and I decided to give it to him. Editing is the most expensive thing I have on the channel. Section One in p. The correspondence is on your screen. In short, the guy asked for an advance payment, although
[12:51] we had never worked with him like this before, and disappeared. Someone will write: "My [laughter] is Someone will write: "My [laughter] is an idiot, just an idiot." Oh, do you understand how this is going, dear friends? Firstly, there are no crazy huge sums involved here
[13:05] that would change his life. Secondly, you work with the Laran community, which isn't exactly huge, but it's incredibly close-knit. And everyone knows each other. That someone, especially so many Round Skymandants, then sooner or
[13:22] later they'll talk about you, or they'll make a video, or something else. Well, that's what we see, like Izlyukha and this guy here in the post, and so on. Now imagine if this goes even further viral beyond the Run community. And
[13:35] what do we have, bro? Here's yours. Image. You, I don't know, supposedly got 10,000 rubles from that. I see 10,000 owed there. How much did you get from someone else ? Well, let's say we just throw in 50,000 or so. You even want
[13:49] 100, although I can't believe we have, like, literally won't do anything for that money, damn it. But you'll still have a reputation as a [ __ ] scammer, a rotten person. And on top of all that, the RN community simply
[14:04] won't accept you back. That's it. Maybe something happened to him, material. First of all, I'm human too, personally I would understand everything, but that doesn't mean you I'm saying Android isn't worth even 100,000 . Even 100,000 is needed. Just like an
[14:18] insider needs. Here's an insider. Handsome. That's real money, guys, for three weeks. Secondly, he scammed Dante the same way. He scammed a YouTuber out of 10,000 rubles. And thirdly, he replies to another YouTuber in private messages
[14:31] least there you understand that even, well , imagine, we're talking about the real happened there. Well, so it's a little ambiguous, yes, to say that, but considering the money involved, well, basically,
[14:44] really did screw him over with videos with Artem Raunz. He's understand the reasons. You see, he writes that he 'll send it tomorrow. That means he has 'll send it tomorrow. That means he has the material ready, well, at least 90%.
[14:58] Not necessarily. Editors often say: "Well, I'll do it in an evening, so it's fine." He can't get away with everything.
[15:11] Hmm. It seems like a pretty interesting pattern. In both cases, it all started the same way. First, a few successful completed orders, then trust developed, after which the bloggers switched to full or partial
[15:24] prepayment. It was after this that the constant postponements, the temptations to feed them with promises, the long disappearances, and, ultimately, the complete ignoring began. any activity on his YouTube, Twitch, and
[15:39] Telegram ceased. This roughly coincided with the time when he was fulfilling his last orders for Dante and Kaymon. Of course, it's impossible to draw firm conclusions based solely on these coincidences, but the fact that both stories followed the
[15:51] same scenario seems, to say the least, very unusual. And in general, this scams. Did he say anything? Well, it's exposure. You'll probably release some kind of video or post at
[16:05] least. Or he's just keeping the YouTubers quiet. Although The amounts in this case are Well, or a jerk who overlooked something. Well, it seems like there was a post here only on this date. And no, no, no, no, no. That's not it. No, it's not it. No, it's not it. These are just his
[16:20] guides. What is he doing there in parallel with, in short, some kind of crap. Why did n't he say anything? Yes, it's similar to typical cases of YouTube scams, although the amounts in this case are
[16:33] ridiculously small. But it's not even about the money. Much more offensive is the lost time and nerves, because they can't be returned. But to be honest, I'm still interested in knowing the other side of this story. So far, we only know what
[16:45] Dante and Kaman told us. Therefore, if Zhorich suddenly sees my video, I would be would like to talk and find out the format. I, well, I also agree with Zlyukha. Zlyukha is great, really. He understands perfectly well what will happen there, if there are
[16:59] as ridiculous as possible. Well, because what can he say? Yeah, I missed deadlines because my cat got sick , my mom was diagnosed with cancer. Uh, I don't know, that's why I can't edit videos and I've been a bit lost. And this is
[17:15] videos and I've been a bit lost. And this is about Danata. And Rao there, in short , I was sitting and a huge, huge tree flies into my house
[17:27] checking because I can't get to the computer. And Kaymanu couldn't edit because, uh, I was walking home from the street, I was thinking, I'm going to edit a video now and I see some kind of scream. I go around the corner, and there's a woman
[17:44] who says: "Don't come near me." I look, there's a maniac walking towards her. But I didn't lose my head, I went up to him, hit him. He lied to me, really. I'm like: "Okay, no problem." So I go home, sit down at the computer and realize that my
[17:58] organs have been punctured Internal. I somehow, covered in blood, dial the phone, call an ambulance, and it arrives. All this time, I'm still thinking, [ __ ], I need to edit it, like, quickly, because after all, they paid me. But he takes me to the
[18:12] didn't edit the video. Yes, that's how it happened, dear friends. Mighty interview, what really happened. For clarity, I'll add that no, Zhorich is not at the front, he's alive and well, and continues to work with other YouTubers
[18:27] on Volont. Great. No, no, if there really are other guys who work with him after what I saw, good luck to you. 100%. I'm saying, even if he unreliable, which is what he's paid.
[18:41] And overall, from the fragments shown, I don't see anything in his editing that's irreplaceable with extra pay. This is In fact, I even have proof, but these YouTubers asked me not to show it. After all, despite these
[18:54] cases with Scam Dante and Keymon, and despite this person's dark past , they want to continue working with him . For me, of course, this is Good luck, guys, good luck. Forward, forward,
[19:06] Work with a person knowing that he's cheating your colleagues out of money. Well, this Kolka won't cheat me. We're on [ __ ] good terms, you know, like, I'm telling you, he cheated and I cheat, but not friends, and they don't cheat friends. Okay, it's
[19:20] not my money, I don't give a [ __ ]. And so, dear aspiring YouTubers who watched No, well, maybe there really is some kind of situation there, that this is a real scam. Oh, Zhelyukha, [ __ ] Zhora, this one, their best friend, that they're right in They're
[19:34] sitting there, basically, playing Avala Larant every day . Maybe it's more than just a friendly relationship. And you never work with anyone on a full prepayment basis. But my favorite comment about this story is
[19:47] what the problem is with learning editing yourself. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, right? I please give it a like and subscribe. So, the word "delegation" was invented before 26, guys. To the channel
[20:00] if you liked this video. Yeah, yeah, I'll give you some. They warm up the [ __ ], they warm up the [ __ ]. It happens , it happens. You wanted to sit with the clubs at night,
[20:12] You wanted to sit with the clubs at night, wai. You thought [music] had found its paradise. Well, why are you so lonely then? You wanted to run Citylay. Ah.
