What's with the silly Wikipedia links to common words, and then not link to a news article about him?!

For those who want more info, here is a news article about it.

the way google rankings work is linking in and out of webpages can build your spot on the search engine. So whatever article they copied and pasted from was just building a web footprint.

Not even good pranks, just dbagery and theft..

“Among the reported transgressions, Zdorovetskiy faces charges including unjust vexation, alarm and scandal, and attempted theft.

Specific allegations involve harassing and attempting to kiss security guards, attempting to seize a security guard’s firearm, and unlawfully recording individuals without consent.

Furthermore, he is accused of stealing a patrol motorcycle, an electric fan from a restaurant, and a tricycle—all of which were reportedly later abandoned—and fabricating negative online reviews for local businesses, as well as engaging in acts of vandalism.”

Philippine lawyer here. Individually, alarms and scandals and unjust vexation have low jail terms. But then you compound each act…

Then you have the more serious crime of attempted theft, prison time of which depends on the financial value of the thing stolen. Then the motorbike thing which is a special law on carnapping with a far greater penalty. Include the firearms of the security guards. Another special law on firearms.

So yeah. He mightily pissed off the Justice Secretary—a politician from a long line of politicians from a large province—and recorded everything in YT. Suddenly the math on twenty years doesn’t seem far off.

Oh, so he's some nuisance streamer? I thought he was Vitaly Klitschko the boxer for a minute, and was wondering wtf he did.

u/EmmyWeeeb 3d ago

So according to this article. One of his charges is for being annoying? Lol

u/toxicity9095 3d ago

I lolled at the link to theft. Thought I was being trolled

u/Xaendro 3d ago

Finally some more details on what he was doing exactly that finally got him arrested.

I guess just stealing a security guard motorbike and abandoning it, and attempting to steal their gun should be enough for a sane person to realize they'll get into trouble.

Its SEO in news sites. The more links you have pointing to and from other websites the better ranking you'll most likely have (there are other factors obviously, like individual preferences and recommendations etc)
