Speaker A
It’s been a really intense month for blogger-related news. Mafanya has died. Geegun started a shooting. Interpol found Mellstroy. It’s good I have a second channel where I don't feel ashamed to hash all this out with you and be a little petty. We’ve already
Speaker A
discussed Geegun. As for Mafanya, I don't know what there is to discuss. Today, Dima Bilan died. Bilan debunked the rumors about his death by posting fresh photos.
Speaker A
Today is Dima Bilan's funeral. An illness took the singer away. Fatigue is to blame for what happened.
Speaker A
I think he’ll turn up in about a month, but if not, then Rapi is a legend. But the situation with Mellstroy is more interesting. On the night of September 30th, Mellstroy recorded a Telegram video clip where he’s hiding in the dark, saying
Speaker A
he’s been found. I’m screwed. The police found me at the request of Ukraine and those Kazakhs. I’m hiding right now, and I’m...
Speaker A
A few minutes later, he deleted that clip. Well, we kind of understand what this is about. Kazakhstan is looking for him for advertising his own online casino, which I strongly condemn. And, in general, I do not support a
Speaker A
character like Mellstroy at all, and I don't advise you to either. Basically, the whole situation is just a boor getting what he deserves. Unless, of course, it's all one huge marketing stunt. Either way, karma exists. Anyway, he was arrested in absentia in
Speaker A
Kazakhstan in connection with this same case. And the next morning, a post appeared on his channel saying that Interpol had found him and we should wait for an update. Everyone wrote that he’d been detained, although no one has officially confirmed it yet. Anyway,
Speaker A
let’s get to the bottom of this. Mellstroy’s criminal cases have been piling up for 10 years now. And the first one appeared back when he lived in Gomel in 2017. He was streaming Chatroulette, where girls would undress
Speaker A
on camera for money. 40-50,000 people were watching this heresy. And I don't know if streamers knew about the existence of "sleeping businessmen" back then, but that’s not important.
Speaker A
What’s more important is that some of the girls who participated in these streams were minors, which he later casually confirmed in various interviews. Did any pangs of conscience pursue him? Well, of course not. And so, back then, the Gomel police opened a
Speaker A
case under Article 343, that is, distribution. And for distributing that kind of imagery online, it carried a sentence of 2 to 4 years in prison. In the end, they detained him then, kept him in the local pre-trial detention
Speaker A
center for a few weeks. But since the definition of this article is very vague, the expert analysis didn't find clear evidence, and the case was closed. By 2020, he moved to Moscow, where he spent years hiding from the Belarusian
Speaker A
military enlistment office, rented apartments in Moscow City, and hosted his legendary trash-streams there. Legendary in the worst sense of the word. These streams never ended well.
Speaker A
Watching them was also incredibly disgusting. I don't understand how this was even in demand and why other people started copying it. It’s just pure stupidity.
Speaker A
Anton, come here. Do you know what you have to do right now? Take it, turn off the TV, and get everyone currently in this room to leave.
Speaker A
This video is so cringeworthy because it keeps popping up whenever you forget to turn on your internet accelerator and TikTok shows you a feed from 2022.
Speaker A
You can avoid a lot of problems if you have a reliable accelerator, like the secure connection system from Durev.
Speaker A
Compared to other services, it’s the most stable and secure accelerator, which hasn't let its users down for years and bypasses every slowdown possible. It even works more stably than anything else when you're out and about. So, when you're out walking, you
Speaker A
don’t have to worry. The main thing is to install it in advance. Durev masks your traffic so well that even your ISP won’t know you're accelerating it. Everything is done with one auto-connect button, and one account covers all your devices: TV,
Speaker A
computer, and phone. You can try it for free for 3 days to see how everything works and whether it suits you. And then, with my promo code "stroy" exclusively for my viewers, you’ll get an extra 20% discount. At the very
Speaker A
least, Durev won’t let you watch old TikToks, and at most, it will keep you connected during the slowest internet moments. Go to the description; all the links are there. During one of the streams, you all know exactly what
Speaker A
happened. He hit model Alyona Efremova in the head, which caused her a traumatic brain injury, a concussion, and broken braces. A case was opened against him in Russia under the assault article. Well, since 2016, assault in Russia is mostly classified as an
Speaker A
administrative offense with a fine. It only becomes criminal if the person was acting out of hooliganism. And, in principle, the investigation recorded exactly that, because he hit her without reason, and then continued to insult and threaten her. At the same
Speaker A
time, Article 116 covers strikes without causing physical harm. The maximum sentence is 2 years, with a minimum of one year of correctional labor. Her injuries, apparently, were not considered as causing physical harm back then. Anyway, let's not get too
Speaker A
deep into that. Alyona Efremova asked for 10 million in compensation, and her representative requested a 2-year prison sentence. Molstroy himself, in his final statement to the court, said he had drawn conclusions, changed his mindset, and would like to receive six
Speaker A
months of correctional labor. Only one person in my life has ever come up to me and said I did the wrong thing. It was at a club. Some stranger came up to me and said: "Hey, look, you know you're in the wrong. Like, it's
Speaker A
about the girl, and so on." Well, I agreed with that. That is truly wrong.
Speaker A
I drew my conclusions. I never let that happen again. There were times on streams when a girl grabbed me by the face, and I stayed silent and didn't even lift a finger, because I knew: control the aggression, it's nothing,
Speaker A
she had too much to drink, she's foolish, how dare she even raise a hand at a guy. Just like that for the first time. But that incident taught me, really taught me to control my anger. I don't want to go to jail.
Speaker A
From that moment, on July 9, 2021, the district court of Presnensky issued this exact verdict. He was given 6 months of correctional labor with a 10% deduction from his salary. And he only paid Ilona 50,000 for moral damages
Speaker A
according to the court. But outside of court, he offered her either three or four million just to close the case.
Speaker A
Well, it turned out the way it did. He himself thought that after the trial, people would be waiting for him at home with knives and stalking him in alleys, but in the end, everyone walked up to him, shook his hand, and said he should
Speaker A
be even stronger. That’s what a loyal audience means. In the end, everyone comes up, shakes his hand, and says, "I'll be even stronger." After that, his affairs are going better than ever. By the end of 2022, he returns to streaming, and in the
Speaker A
spring of 2023, Roskomnadzor blocks his channel for advertising that very thing. And he finds a solution that makes him even more popular and talked about than ever before. He starts sending huge donations to other streamers with various tasks. Saint
Speaker A
sonny, I can hit my sweet little girl, you keep going. Hi. Nah, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Tea with butter.
Speaker A
What the hell? Is this for real? I'm scared to watch. I'm weak at I'll come to your house and glue myself to you.
Speaker A
Anyway, around this same time frame, all the countries where he could have possibly appeared start actively searching for him. Including the Russian Interior Ministry, which put him on a wanted list under a charge that no one specified, but most likely,
Speaker A
it was the Belarusian case regarding draft evasion. By this point, he had already left for Dubai. Then he's removed from the wanted database, and then added back again. And he says that lawyers just helped him out. A
Speaker A
he is still on the wanted list and flies to Russia anyway, as if gauging the chances of being arrested at 60/40.
Speaker A
He just wanted to feel at home and go to some strip clubs. Then in 2025, his mother and brother are called in for questioning regarding a case of tax evasion and money laundering of about half a billion rubles. At that time, he
Speaker A
had a Lamborghini, two Rolls-Royces, a Bentley, a Ferrari, and apartments near Moscow City, all bought with crypto and registered to his friends. In short, he could no longer go to Russia or Belarus . And in 2025, he moved to the south of
Speaker A
Cyprus. And from there, he launched his own platform, for which Kazakhstan began to hunt him down. At the same time, he and Misha Litvin were competing to see who could force people to risk their lives and slave away more
Speaker A
for a chance at some money. People had to either carry an energy drink bottle up Everest or climb Everest to a subscriber and do something there. Oh my god, and what about this "buy an apartment" contest, how horrifying. For
Speaker A
an apartment, people were getting tattoos with permanent markers, tattooing their foreheads, and burning down entire fields. Something terrible started happening, a real bacchanal, and every human vice known to the human mind started pouring into TikTok.
Speaker A
That's it, don't judge me. That's it, that's it. So, what is Kazakhstan arresting him for in absentia? For the fact that his casino operates for Kazakhstanis without a Kazakhstani license. And since it's an organized group with exceptionally large income, he faces
Speaker A
from 4 to 7 years in prison. They actually got to him through that cursed contest, in which Kazakhstanis, including minors, participated. Later, Molstroy says on stream that he is wanted by Interpol at the request of Kazakhstan for that very casino case,
Speaker A
because of that cursed ad, which is why he's stuck in southern Cyprus. I am trapped on this island because of Interpol. I don't know what to do.
Speaker A
However, no one found his name or surname in the Interpol database, so he is most likely not actually in Interpol . But that doesn't change the fact that Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan are looking for him. For a long time,
Speaker A
nothing happens. Molstroy continues to actively and regularly spin slots and forces school kids to post his face and meme him on TikTok. Until September 30th, when a video message from the bushes comes out, where he says he's been found. By night, internet
Speaker A
detectives find flight PGT 1913, Ercan-Istanbul-Astana, and decide that Molstroy is being taken to Kazakhstan on it. However, PGT is the code for Pegasus, which is just a regular Turkish low-cost airline. Ercan is an airport in northern Cyprus, which
Speaker A
Cyprus doesn't recognize, and Molstroy lives in the south. On October 1st, two more versions appear. The first is that about a year ago, two guys approached Molstroy in Cyprus and asked for a task in exchange for a cash reward. They
Speaker A
didn't get the money and promised to report his location to the Kazakhstani authorities. The second version is that it’s just another setup, and no one is ruling that out, not even the Kazakhstani media. At the same time, the Kazakhstani Agency for Financial
Speaker A
Monitoring states that no one has confirmed Mellstroy's arrest and that he remains on the international wanted list. Then, in the middle of the night, Suba swoops into the story, claiming they landed in the hospital and that he had a heart attack because he was so
Speaker A
worried. Suba also says that Mellstroy was released and is currently back home . Although, where was he released from and why was he detained? No one clarifies that. Artem Graf also jumps into the scene, saying that it was all
Speaker A
just a prank. Not a prank by Mellstroy on his audience, but by his buddies who hired those fake police officers to storm his apartment and scare him into a heart attack. Apparently, his security guard tried to fight those
Speaker A
fake cops, while Mellstroy himself ran out of the apartment and hid in some bushes, where he presumably recorded that video message. However, this is just according to Artem Graf, keep in mind, because his friends who supposedly ordered the fake police
Speaker A
haven't confirmed anything. A couple of days later, Suba enters the game again and shares details, saying that Mellstroy’s own brother wrote to him.
Speaker A
And according to him, the right side of Mellstroy’s face and body went numb. All because of easy dopamine and alcohol abuse. Suba might have confused a heart attack with a stroke, as they have different symptoms. And when the
Speaker A
right side of the face and body—or any part of the body and face—goes numb, that’s actually a stroke. Look, I'm no doctor, I could be wrong, but Suba is going to a gynecologist.
Speaker A
Guys, honestly, I think I’m having real problems with my vision. The screen is really affecting me badly. I am seriously, I am just a fool. I went to a gynecologist.
Speaker A
Summing up the information we have today, all I can say is that in either scenario, it looks like the stupidest death in Minecraft. If it’s true, he was actually detained, his heart gave out, and he's lying somewhere, then
Speaker A
it’s just a thug getting what he deserves. In the second case, if he's between life and death because of a prank, then it’s just a Darwin Award.
Speaker A
Anyway, draw your own conclusions. That’s all, talk to you later.
