Scooby1961 from YouTube was threatened and his family was too. Closing social media

Whether you like this funky dude or not, his intentions were outstanding. Always posting fitness videos and maintained a fairly busy forum while answering thousands of questions from his fans. Took a great amount of beatings in comments from haters and stupid young kids, but always maintained his composure and professionalism. It's really sad to see such low life scum bags threaten him and his family over what probably is a simple disagreement over the internet. So disgusting...

That's a shame have found various stuff on his website rather useful, strangely enough I was only there less than 2 hours ago, seems like a very caring, kind hearted person who enjoys what he does and sharing it with others, deffernate shame..

[i fuked this message up and can't delete it]

**C3RB3RUS** · 07-22-2013, 04:35 PM

yea, he was a really nice guy. that's really fuked up... -this community seems small, but it's probably only just because i'm starting to see the leading players in a lot of stuff. Austinite, I saw your Avatars Human in that youtube clip with that 13yo teen female that was pressing 240lb here: This 13-Year-Old Russian Girl Can Bench Press 240lb, - YouTube. she's cute too.

**Cuz** · 07-22-2013, 05:26 PM

damn, this was a sincere guy. hate to see him go.

**Venom** · 07-22-2013, 05:49 PM

**kelkel** · 07-22-2013, 08:18 PM

he went on a trolling site called "4chan", and then to the section /fit/ where its full of retarded fat ****s and trollers hackers etc, they tracked down his company his real name address everything and well gave him death threats called him a phaggot etc etc,

CLIFF 1
Cliffs:
-Scooby started visiting 4chan, getting a username there(trip code) etc
-People at 4chan pestered his live videos with masturbating in cam and asking stupid questions like how much teso he's on
-Scooby started visiting 4chan less frequently
-Scoobys personal information about his family, his partner and his job was leaked
-People sent hate mails and harrassment phone calls to his family and work, probably went to his house aswell
-Scooby retires, and needs to move from his self-built house

CLIFF 2
Cliffs:
>Somebody on /fit/, a board on 4chan, found scoobys engineering company, this included his name
>found his home address
>found his home is coowned by another man
>suspect he is gay
>some people make phone calls to his house and business calling him a phaggot
>maybe some other stuff happened
>scooby considers he has some enemies in fitness industry
>scooby feels it would be safer for his family and business if from now on he keeps a low profile

Scooby copying Jeff Seid lolz

He helped alot of people and shared a ton of knowledge. Who cares what he does in his personal time or what decisions he makes. He helped people and because of some idiots, he is going private. Don't blame him.

**APIs** · 07-23-2013, 07:54 AM

Real shame. You typically find that haters don’t have a whole lot going on in their own lives. That's why they have the time & sick desire to strike out @ others...

**slfmade** · 07-23-2013, 09:03 AM

I always liked him. It's a shame there's so many pieces of shit in this world!!!!!

**gbrice75** · 07-23-2013, 09:51 AM

Never enjoyed him much, and his lower pecs bother the shit outta me, but I absolutely don't condone threats and the like. I can't stand these little fcking tough guys.

**GettingReal** · 07-23-2013, 12:48 PM

I feel bad for the guy, look how emotional he is making those videos. I'd hire someone to do some investigating and get back at these guys, lol. I never really watched much of his videos, just enough to know who he was.

**A_Grant** · 07-23-2013, 01:31 PM

I really liked the guy.

I always found his videos instructives and motivationnals (as well as funny). He might not have always been right about everything, but he seemed to have the kindest of intentions. And it was really good infos for young teens starting into fitness.

I hate to see him go like that...
