You did an awesome job introducing and covering this "project"! I've been looking into sketchy games for a while but TWS and its executives are by far the worst I've ever come across. It's not just the fact that they don't have a game and are lacking the capabilities to build one. This "development team" even resorts to tactics that are borderline criminal. I've been covering this for a year now and been stalked, raided, harassed, impersonated and they repeatedly attempted to take down my small channel with weaponized reports. I've not only received violent threats and death wishes, but the "CEO" and "VP" of the project even went as far as attempting to harass, locate and dox my wife. It's easily the wildest ride I've ever been on. Happy to see this get some traction and hoping this will help to take down this scam for good. Please keep up the good work man, you can be proud of what you're doing here!

Good job on your digging. Worked DoD/DHS myself and yeah that call out on TS is terrifying to me. I am a network engineer so the technical details matter a ton on these things. Always ask about infrastructure to know just how well thought out a project is. IF they can't give you any details its a red flag to me. Say you are running in AWS or something. Say you are running in a colo. Something barebones as that and then we can even dig deeper to confirm the details on our side. The internet only has so much address space so if they are running in a Colo / not in the cloud they very likely have to own some amount of addresses at minimum which you can see through ARIN / APNIC other registries. Look through BGP to see if they have an ASN (Autonomous System Number) assigned to their company name. Do they own their own Domain name. So many variables. I am happy to help you out in digging for certain things G0at, if you ever have networking questions as well I am always willing to lend a hand.

It's absolutely insane how these people get away with blatantly shady stuff so frequently, from NFT/crypto scams, stock/investment, contracting scams etc. Lying to customers and investors with metaphorical statements with very very little credibility and legitness, any faults are "not mine, it was this person/company or our 'malicious representatives' that they hired themselves. Using very vague and odd associations that have no real impact and most likely aren't even legit. One more funny thing is in this video, Ali manipulating older people, older business people, to try and invest in something that literally just wont even happen, just like Powerhome would very frequently call older people to buy solar based off their scammy model and "data to save money." Old people are always at the shit end of the stick for scams and they're extremely targeted by predatorial advertisement models from shady companies.

They plastered logos all over their website from companies without their permission, including epic games, steam, windows, and several software tools. They demonstrated a complete lack of knowledge about anything they were talking about- that whole classified documents thing is just one example. Luckily they kinda faded away because almost everyone was smart enough to see through their lies. Fascinating to see the behind the scenes stuff with their internal meetings and Ali's horrible attitude!

>They plastered logos all over their website from companies without their permission, including epic games, steam, windows, and several software tools I'm sorry, but this is standard. It's one thing to claim support from specific people or companies, but listing tools that you are legally using on your software is totally normal

This is scary stuff here. They're actually trying to get a DoD contract. Got to be the dumbest thing they can possibly try and go after given their total lack of ability to produce anything. And I'm surprised some of their activities haven't already landed them into hot water with the law already. Awesome work to g0at and Bonzo.

Just taking a step back, if he could deliver on his promises, what would the military want from it? It would be a really cool thing, if it were practical. And i can see it being am awesome consumer product. But it seems to be in a spot the military doesnt really need. For large scale battle similations, there are going to be larger and more capable for senior officer control etc. For tank / aircraft simulatora, the military's are going to be far more capable. It seems like the main goal would be to orovide some interaction between those two elements, but then your svale/control will be insufficient at the top levels and simulators not sufficient at the lower levels. And on the opposite end of the spectrum, this would never be mainstream enough for a recruitment/propaganda tool like America'a Army was.

So, I saw Asmongold review your Wiggle video on Tarkov and I somehow ended up to your most recent video and now involved into this. This is crazy and I am praying that everything goes your way with this lawsuit and your family. Someone who scams should be put behind bars over people selling bud.. especially these large scale scams. Keep up the good work and hopefully I see more videos from you.

@22:58 LOL at the scaled up Jersey barriers acting as walls

Oh wow... The CEO was literally asking for classified information from people. I would stay far away from this guy and his products. He's going to end up in jail if he keeps this up. Thank you for covering this. It's important people stay away from this guy.

that ending was amazing and probably the best way this video could have ended. actually 10/10 well done.

Hey! I have a tiny bit of insight into the behind the scenes of DoD contracts and how they can operate. The board meeting that you showed is the beginning to a long process and is close to meaningless. The security compliance requirements alone will all but disqualify them from achieving a contract, and if by some miracle they get a contract things will be much worse for them.

Love this video!! Love how you explaind every little detail. Keep up the grear work dude.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

This dude isn't afraid committing a federal crime for exposing classified info, Paul and Ali would be great friends.

This is incredible work. As a person who works with the government, I'm not at all shocked a scammer might manage to scam the government out of money, but I think he may find the reality of DoD contracts is that the failure to deliver can come with consequences.

" failure to deliver can come with consequences." Unless you're working for q government approved government contractor that was never expected to deliver anything in the first place.

I'm glad to be here before the video blows up. I used to play on an Arma 3 server Ali hosted way back in 2016-2019 first called "Viper 6", then "Whiskey Alpha Tango" or "WAR", and boy let me tell you, as someone who knew this guy for so long, none of this surprises me in the slightest. Ali's "methodology" to running an Arma server was to cram as many mods onto it as he could, hoping they would work and wouldn't crash every five minutes since he never bothered configuring any modules in the mission editor. Near the end, it required downloading nearly 50 to 60 gigs if you wanted to join. When it got to the point where the server literally couldn't accept any more mods, he resorted to making "packs" that contained mods from other authors, uncredited, just so he could have a Lamborghini or bullet casing all over the ground. The creators of RHS ended up issuing him a takedown notice and a cease and desist over the use of RHS in his pack, and everyone finally got sick of him and left to join their own groups as he left his server to die, with maybe two or three people sticking around. The guy is a complete egomaniac obsessed with "realism" and the military in all the worst ways.

This is happening in so many games or in the whole gaming industry as heck never heard of this guy before. But do know that scammers, cons and other criminals are flooding the gaming world.

The fact that Ali has been so active on discord, not just in their own server is crazy to me. He's out there spinning his tale, and creating scenarios where he has to defend himself with more and more lies, all for no reason. Genuinely looking forward to seeing how this all plays out

At 13:57, he mentions "C Code" Unreal Engine uses C++ C code often refers to ANSI C, which is not C++

I love that you became the coffeezilla of gaming. I think you like the story behind this project called “Dead matter” Id be very interested in learning the details, not nearly as big as this one but still a company scamming the gaming community of millions for years

As an AVID DCS player, this is so heartwarming to hear about TWScam. Although I'm not surprised someone like Spud was associated. It fits.

Don't have any doubts about any of the video, but at about 15:00 it talks about nanite and this is actual possible. Nanite doesn't support deformation, so character animations where the body distorts around joints is impossible. However, rigid animation with separate pieces is possible which is good for robots and tanks with fixed joints. The valley of nanite (I think is the name) demo does this with a massive robot at the end. Again, doesn't take away from how scummy this scam is, just thought I'd clarify the one thing I have knowledge about.

love your videos bro. keep em coming

With this video he can kiss any kind of military contract goodbye. Will subscribe to keep updated on the matter, thanks for sharing awesome video!

Jabbers is a stone cold bada$$ video game interviewer. I had never heard of him before but wow he knows his stuff. He asked all the right questions and he knew what UE5 can and cannot do down to some finer details. I've been using Unreal since 2012 (UDK, UE4, and 5) and I'm really impressed

Tbh. when someone shout out "kill the enemy, kill the enemy, kill the enemy" in a brutal voice he deserves to die by the enemy.

When your scammer call center gets shut down. Ali: Lets try scamming sim gamers, they’re stupid.

There are plenty of "business people" who think this is just how business works. the product is optional. the sales pitch is all that counts. The scary part is that they genuinely don't think they are scammers.
