To be honest, I don't even know who they were, I just saw *yet another* btc scam live stream show up in my subnoscriptions feed, and googled the channel name. I figured it out (through google images) that they used to make an animated cartoon called "Battlefield Friends", with this character: [https://imgur.com/pFoBiad](https://imgur.com/pFoBiad) \- I must have subscribed to that channel years ago and forgot about it. Did a little more digging and found their twitter and subreddit and those updates they posted.
