Scammers stole my Invention and sold it for $100,000

The StarGlow campaign is here if you haven't cringed enough today:
And my lightsaber video for comparison:

So it turns out Mike Paly is actually a dude in Florida who had his identity stolen 10 years ago. He reached out to me with the original photos the scammers stole for the campaign, so sorry for dunking on you Mike. Please don't go looking for his socials and please don't harass him, the real Mike Paly is just another victim of the scam.

This can't be the first time someone has stolen one of your ideas to sell.

That's super messed up. At least they could have gone the safer route and start a campaign for your Lead Hulk fists but sending aluminum ones.

That's the first lightsaber I've seen with a "must be drunk to operate" safety warning.

[JoelCreates]

Imitation is the highest form of flattery...turns out that guy is really bad at flattery

[SG-yqfm]

"William Osman" and "Safety Inspector" were not two things I expected to hear together

[alexlikesgoats]

A cancer causing flame hazard scam that stole someone's identity with hundreds of backers. WOW! The person who did this is like straight up a super villian! I'm honestly just glad you saw this and knew the dangers so hopefully anyone else who comes across it will see this video first.

[Volcarion]

When William Osman is describing how unbelievably dangerous a device is, and is genuinely afraid, we've hit a whole new level of hazard

[memeoverlord]

When you get two youtube "meme" scientists giving you a safety warning, you know you are not messing around

[greatnate]

It makes me very mad to think that people can have the audacity to do something that terrible.

[lotticusification]

It’s so awesome that you team up with Nile red/blue, absolutely love his stuff.
It seems like your friendship has lasted a long time. Whatever content you come up with is awesome!

[HeffeJeffe]

I'm going to start a Kickstart campaign and sell Allen's crazy laugh without his permission.

[ZackofSpades]

They said they're from America because a product from Ukraine is like an Indian accent telling you how much you owe the IRS.

[BPKJ-NYNM]

I would like to apologize on behalf of my ukrainian brothers and for their English in particular. This is not what we want to be remembered for.
Great video as always! Keep up the great work, Allen.

[BrianMusic]

You might be the funniest channel on yt. The fact that you have such deep engineering and tech knowledge and that you use it for impractical but awesome stuff is hilarious and awesome. AP forever

[asliverofsun]

can’t wait for this video to be shown at the court proceedings and everyone has to see “look what they did to my boy!”

[Depleted-Uranium]

i like the laziness of just manually pushing out the methanol though, makes me wonder if you could build a plasma supersoaker

[physicsgirl]

How do your nails still look so good?? Allen you’re a trendsetter now. There’s no going back. That manicure was worth all $18. You’re welcome.

[EGarrett]

5:57 So one guy works on the Battlebots show, and the other guy MADE this lightsaber design, and both of them are still perplexed by what came out of the box, lol.

When William Osman is genuinely scared of your product, you've messed up
