I made one comment about preserving ammo that was very dubious. This comment had nothing to do with whether or not he cheated it was just an observation. I shouldn't have commented on the gameplay at all, I'm not an expert on it. Apologies.

new video? yes I will comment and like.
Keep up the godly work you legend.
You're doing great with these videos. Could you maybe cover some fake Runescape records?
That people still watch him after the whole CSGO Lotto fiasco baffles me.
Tmartn took the brunt of that one. Syndicate pretty much abandoned him completely.
ooh so that's what i knew the name from.
why does he need to sully the name of the old game with his though. dum dim dim dum dum dim dim dum gotta put on the soundtrack for that now.
of course he wouldn't admit. and his target audience is idiots. the more stupider they are the better for him.
He did the smart thing and gave a simple apology and then never mentioned it again so everyone forgets he was even involved. It definitely helped that Tmartn's apology was so god awful and tone deaf it took all of the heat off him. Syndicate got off SO easy. Still a POS tho.
Naah he got 9 mil sub but with 150k average views on his monthly videos. His channel is pretty dead.
@@kurseng He's already rich though so it barely matters
The funniest part about this record being faked was that it was around the time he beat WingsOfRedemption in a 1v1 and IIRC Wings made a passing remark that he thinks Syndicate cheats at Zombies.
The fact that Wings was somehow right is not only hilarious AF but even more so because Wings wanted to rig a rematch against Syndicate, which he promptly called out to the public.
It just tickles me in more ways than one the idea that Syndicate, while exposing Wings for wanting to rig a re-match event for money, was also cheating in his own WR for the gamemode that made him famous.
someone give that pimp a pepsi
We finally reached the redemption arc
Imo his match with wings is all that matters.
Wings is right about EDP, DSP, Boogie, and now syndicate after 10 years holy shit.
Even when Whangs is right, he's wrong.
So basically I'm wasting my life away working an honest job instead of frauding my way to online millionaire. Who knew it was so simple!
Yup, except nobody likes a cheater, not even the cheater.
@@TheRevMan Syndicate still has a lot of fans, so that's not right.
@@TheRevManidk a lot of these cheaters still have fans sadly

You're not anywhere charismatic enough
I never knew there was a Trust Me Bro/Any% category
ayyy nice uncle death pfp!!!
Zombies player here
15:45 - Zombies players know when the dogs are coming within 2 rounds of them appearing and if you're good at ammo management, you can reasonably piss your ammo away since they will be refilled once you kill the dogs. Furthermore, at the stage in Kino der Toten, there is a glitch where you can stand on staircase connecting the floor to the stage and the dogs can't attack you. You basically get free ammo without fear of death when the dogs stage comes up so it's common zombie practice to shoot off everything because its a hoot.
Yeah he unfortunately picked 2 really bad clips to show Syndicate's weird playstyle. It's such a minor point imo because the rest of the evidence is too overwhelming. I wanted to point out in the clip before the dog where he kills just 1 zombie that it still makes sense. Zombies spawning on that narrow path can kill your run, and it's way smarter and safer to take out that one zombie by wasting a thundergun round than to go down
You just made me wonder, I wonder if the dog round pattern is different from the “same” game?
@@Lottofatto just goes to show that the only people who should be commentating this are actual "zombies experts". Now I don't know how to feel about the entire video
@@moonasha I get it, it could throw people off who are on the fence, however, I assure you the initial points are valid and makes sense to zombies players. The thundergun clips were "points of consideration" from Karl, not outright evidence
The part about the gloves is pretty cut and dry.
This seems like a minor mistake from a guy who tries to understand the intricacies of so many games played at the highest level like Karl does.@@moonasha
Expectation:
Over a period of years and combined research, people used complex algebraic equations, sound files and AI supercomputers to calculate the splice location.
Reality:
He forgot to make sure he had the same character in both runs 🤦
Cheaters are usually lazy 🤷♂️
It's always the small details that catch people out. Not gonna lie, the different character hands is pretty damning

@@alwayshere6956 I'm only here because I thought it was the guy that made wings rage quit his whole life basically
He cheated them to lmao dude has always been a pos
It’s funny how when WingsofRedemption came to Syndicate to try and bribe him into throwing a money match, Syndicate turned him down and acted all high and mighty, and then in the years following he does all sorts of insanely shady shit.
My first thought seeing this video was about Wings. If he's still capable of happiness this should give him a bit.
Syndicate was for sale, just seems like Wings didn't offer enough
The money match was too minor of a scam for Syndicates level lmao. Needed some more 0s at the end of the paycheck.
That's the one consistent thing about Syndicates online career.

damn he faked his zombies records AND steals from children while getting them addicted to gambling, what a class act
He’s going to heaven
A person who drives a Lamborghini and still spends time trying to scam children is literally capable of anything.
I'm glad that there's still people who didn't forget the Lotto scandal.
“Scamming children” was just something tacked on to make it sound even worse. It was unregulated skins gambling with sign ups through steam API. It obviously wasn’t a conscious decision to go after kids. The vast majority were over 18, and the ones that were under 18, were not supposed to be there. They did however fail to disclose their ownership of the site whilst promoting it, which is indefensible.
@@E-A-Z-Y Yeah. What they did was scummy, but people make it out to be worse than it was for some reason.
The absolute definition of 'Fake it till you make it'
I assume this also means his 8 Million Points on Ascension was faked too? Can anyone confirm?
I literally watched these videos the days after they came out, and to this day had 0 clue they were fake. Makes me a little sad. The videos definitly sparked my interest in zombies, and also they invented "training" so they were so iconic to me.
Took kiting likely from another game like WoW, doubt Zombies was the invention of "training".
lol Syndicate certainly did not invent training in Zombies...
@@johndawhale3197who did then
theRelaxingEnd was training before syndicate ever started
@@johndawhale3197 He made up the no no term for training
So glad we’re coming back to this because not a lot of people know he cheated these runs to this day somehow
Still wild that this guy lied and it pretty much started his whole RUclips career
For real i only found out recently and I was shocked, i remember how big a deal it was at the time
Or that time he casually started a CS:GO scam company and defrauded his fans and stole thousands of dollars from them. He refuses to talk about it, and any mention gets you instabanned from his chat, discord, reddit, X, etc. He also treats fans like shit in a lot of streams, and even worse in person when the cameras arent rolling. Dude is a toxic manbaby scumbag that throws tantrums any time he doesn't get his way, and will lie, cheat, or steal just to get ahead.
Syndicate? More like Syndicunt.
I think it's easy not to know as he hasn't been on my radar in over ten years at this point I think the last time I ever heard anything about him was when him and that other RUclipsr were scaming cs skins or reselling them or something
Its easy to not know...I never heard of this guy and beyond that I don't care he isn't important to me
I love these "cheaters getting caught" videos.
i'm really enjoying the "getting caught" part of all of them i guess. Cheaters, liars, scammers, fraudsters... let them all have it.
If you haven't already, look into the "BE AMAZED" RUclips channel's playlist of 'Gamers Caught Cheating'; It's an entertaining series.
Syndicate - “QUICK, someone grab a dog. We need to apologize again”
Wrong guy
Not surprised. Bought one of his first t-shirts in 2011. Came with a hole in it and there was no return process or contact info - woo
This guy never fails to do dumb shit, syndicate has just somehow dodged any major repercussions throughout. Whether it’s cheating, gambling fraud for CS, falsely advertising his own game not as his own, and so on.
It's incredible really. He was one of the biggest creators when the gambling scam occurred. Should have absolutely zero fan base left and be permanently banned from RUclips and Twitch
@@generichuman2044
He was lucky in the Gambling case, Tmartn took the brunt of the backlash because of how shit his apology video was (also I think Tmartn had a higher position in the company but not 100% sure).
Being extremely rich helps a bunch
Was that one scary game he used to play, his own game? IT was so random and he played it a lot.
Its pretty simple the reality is most people just know and don't care. Just like most people know jake paul is a piece of humag garbage, along with his brother. It's cool to be a piece of shit to a lot of people. Especialyl when you fanbase is mostly children. All it takes is one sappy apology video and waiting a couple days at most for new drama to come out which gets farmed by drama channels to drown out everything.
It’s crazy how huge that round 115 was back in the day. The hype around it was all over my middle school was wild, we all couldn’t believe it. Literally what got me into zombies high rounding in the first place. Now I look at the footage and it’s obvious he cheated, his hoarding is terrible, he opens himself up to unnecessary risk on pretty much every horde up.
thats what i was thinking too lol like theres no way with the way hes playing he got to 115 legit.
Who cares
@@julianrosado1592you, commenting twice on this video very clearly you care.
the 750k people who watched@@julianrosado1592
Im actually really shocked looking back at the footage because I remember thinking he was a legend when I was 13 and I agree now looking at it he was not very good at all at this point. maybe he improved to the point I thought him to be but I'm not gonna go watch syndicate to find out.
The thing I find funniest about this (as a COD Zombies fan) is that Kino is one of the easiest maps to get high rounds on, barring WaW Shi No Numa. Like he literally could've spent the same amount of effort actually getting to round 116 on Kino as it took for him to fake his run.
He didn't have to do the oral.
Also, any Zombies player worth their salt knows not to open the stage door.
Guy has been involved in so much controversy and scummy shit but his orbiters continue to double wrist him and buy his shitty merchandise, it's like a cult.
CoD & CSGO gamers in a nutshell
This feels like Karl is putting his main quest (Completionist) on hold to do a side quest (Syndicate) real quick
I think the main quest is Billy Mitchell. Completionist and this are just side quests of varying importance.
This is feeling alot like a gaiden chapter from fire emblem, where syndicate is dedicated a chapter to get his comeuppance then get back to the villain of the week format slowly getting to Jirad the completionists castle in Bern
@@patrakau That is a good point.
billy mitchell is the big bad final boss you meet at the start of the game, then dont see again until the end.
Jirad is a major side quest, Syndicate is a minor side quest, while (if we’re talking cyberpunk) Billy is the main quest with an objective saying wait a day for Billy to call
Great video! One minor inaccuracy is that, yes, while ammo for the thundergun is scarce and can only be replenished by a max ammo drop, every 5 rounds a "dog round" will occur which guarantees a 100% chance of getting a max ammo when you kill the last hellhound. You might start seeing players wasting ammo on this round because they know they'll get a max ammo afterwards which resupplies all your guns. Also its sometimes valid to waste a thundergun shot on 1 zombie if you suspect that it was going to block you and get you killed. Otherwise every point in this video is 100% legit and more than enough reasons to suspect foul play.
The wall buys, he said the gun should be showing at 13:00, this is true but if you trade the gun, the wall buy should go away until it’s bought again,
Wall guns stay once bought, they never go back. Even if they are traded.
This video is just making me want to play BLOPS II again. Games felt so much more fun back in these days IMO. Maybe it’s nostalgia, but for me, they just felt better lol
@@Boodoo4You They felt better because they were made more akin to arcade shooters instead of the garbage "realistic" type shooters they are today. CoD nowadays is absolute trash compared to what they used to be. Even BO3 was complete garbage and that was the last CoD i tried to play. I couldnt even imagine how awful they feel now.
@@omegacloud222 Yeah that’s true. They were supposed to be arcade style fun. Not some serious sweaty milsim
if he was being honest bout the crash and honest about trying to splice the two games together I wouldn't have any issue, crashes happen but lying about it looses my respect
The man yoinked a bunch of childrens money from a fake gambling site, faking his record on a game to look better. I'd say he have some questionable morals...
I feel terrible for the people who really wanted to believe he didn’t cheat, because he was considered such a legend in the community. Even going as far as lying to themselves.
After his CSGO gambling for kids scandal I have no problem believing this. He is all about making money at any cost. He is a snake and always has been.
In these big cheater exposes, the players are usually still really really good, but too lazy to put in the hours to get the records legitimately.
If he confessed like Dream did, it really wouldn't hurt him too much in the long run.
sounds like you are the fan you speak of
We call that "copium" in the business.
That's the real issue with lying: you don't hurt only yourself. You also hurt everyone who believes in you.
People think Syndicate isn't capable of lying? Didn't he essentially scam a bunch of kids by lying about how he "found this awesome CSGO gambling website", when in reality he was one of the owners? He was one of the reasons RUclips and social media as a whole started cracking down on disclaiming sponsorship in videos. The platform as a whole was forced to tighten its policies due in large part to his dishonesty, and some people argue he's honest? Man, some people just refuse to see reality, even when it's slapping them in the face.
As a former Syndicate fan, that simply isn't true to all of his fans/former fans. Not all of them (myself included), are blind to reality, we just simply wished it wasn't true since we grew up watching his RUclips videos.
@@DifferentChanges no shit
Sometimes the obvious isn't obvious enough to some people.@@passdaboof
@@DifferentChanges I believe you just demonstrated what I shall call "Syndicate Syndrome"
"People think Syndicate isn't capable of lying?" It's a claim Karl's making to be inflammatory, and nothing more. I don't think, if asked, Karl would be able to provide a single quote of anyone saying they don't think he's capable of lying. I think Karl is trying to say that anyone who thinks Syndicate's run might not have been cheated (which, let's be real, who gives a shit, it's a video game) is therefore imediately defending him, and that's just a false equivalence. Saying "The evidence seems weak, I don't think he cheated" isn't the same as "Syndicate is incapable of lying! He's telling the truth always!"
Damn, I always suspected this given I tried similar things from back in the day, knowing how hard it was and how long it takes per run. I remember grinding with 3 friends to round 66 on Kino. I think it took 8 hours or more, no way a solo player who has to make regular RUclips uploads would have time to do this. The zombies after about round 35 just take so long to put down even with Pack-a-punch weapons. We used the strat that @AwesomeSauceFilms (who would later become @bajancanadian and @TheNoochM) used where you have two people on the stage and keep the far door locked and have one person in the isle with another running up to the podium and circling back and eventually using the thunder-gun to clear large amounts of zombies out.
One thing to note though is that high rounds are easier solo. I don't remember why they are honestly but I do remember that they are. I think it had something to do with zombie spawns in solo vs co-op. I might have to go back down the zombies high round rabbit hole to make sure I'm not just talking out of my ass.
@@breakfaith3031 Yeah it definitely gets harder with other people because over 8 hours someone is going to have to go to the bathroom or have a lapse in performance and then it's hard for them to come back. Of course them coming back probably means zombies spawn further away and these are like round 40+ bullet sponge zombies so a guy with no pack-a-ounch weapons would stand a chance.
You’ve never been to round 66,if it took you 8 hours even if you did you literally fucked off 30 percent of the time and you had 3 people theirs literally no way.
This guy is a cheater, scammed kids and killed wings career omegalul
Man Wings of Redemption must feel really good right now.
yup and all it will do is fuel his fucked up mind
Always remember that Syndicate beating Wings was what really set off his popularity
"WHY THE FUCK YOU STREAM THAT SHIT" Absolute classic.
He still got whooped in a legit 1v1 tho lol unlucky.
“WHY THE FUCK YOU STREAM THAT SHIT!”
@@whitepaws60"...I broke my fuckin controller..."
for those who think this video is unnecessary or childish for focusing on a cheat from 13 years ago, it was these runs and "achievements" that led to Syndicate being one of the most popular and beloved content creators in the COD community.
This is what launched his career as a youtuber, which also inevitably, led to Syndicate's CSGO gambling scandal.
Also, some might not remember this, but Syndicate was the top most followed streamer on Twitch back in the early days. I believe he was last in the top 3 or 5 back in 2016 and was in fact the #1 most followed streamer at some point.
So yes I would argue putting these cheats into light to make an example out of is worth it. I say this as someone who used to watch his videos back in the day.
I never cared about Syndicate, but that is true.
Also, I think any "it was x years ago, dude" argument falls flat when the cheater is still celebrating his imaginary achievement, as Karl points out later in the video.
The cheating could be 50 years ago, and this video would still be relevant. Either because the cheater is still around, and is still doing it, or is part of history.
To me if you are a liar you are a liar and there is nothing wrong about calling people out on lies. Doesn't matter when it happened or why. Lying is bad and our world goes to shit when its built on lies.
made tens of millions off his RUclips videos and sponsorships.....
Hi Karl, any news on Bitchey Mitchell? What happened to the court case? How far along is it.
One of the dead give aways is just a larger issue in plain sight. I was really into zombies back then and remember watching videos of people going for world records. They almost never used the thundergun as at higher levels because the zombies were simply too strong and the ammo would deplete far too quckly (unless they used it as an emergency knockback, i don't remember). I remember them almost always using the wall bought MP40 because it was the most consistent form of ammunition, despite being weak.
MP40 was especially good because you didn't need to aim in with it as it had absolutely no kick whatsoever...so you could move around at full speed and still aim directly for the zombies' heads with hip-fire.
The thunder gun deals infinite damage? At round 100+ the mp40 or any wall weapon does pretty much no damage,In bo3 chronicles there’s obviously alternatives because of double pap but in the original it’s literally the only way of getting high rounds, alongside using traps
@@hamzazilani6398Exactly, the T-Gun is the MVP of higher rounds
i think youre remembering the insta-kill rounds bc runners would use the mp40 for those because the thundergun ammo is too scarce to waste on zomies with round one health
Oof, thundergun is one of two weapons that do infinite damage, wunderwaffe is the other
Its pretty well known in the zombies community that Syndicate has cheated. But the casual audience doesn't know yet so this video is REALLY informative for them.
Yep, if you know even a slight bit about the mechanics of Zombies it becomes the most obvious dogshit ever.
You think you’re tough? Is that what it is?

I feel like he spends too much time making videos about fake speed runners lying and his account exploded because of ridiculous fake speedruns with loads of history.

Syndicate isn’t a speedrunner lmao
Actually make me want to speed run my favorite games as a hobby rather than looking for a WR. Which are actually games that aren’t even popular to speed run. Played so much that on my first run most missions took 10-20 mins to now doing it like in 3-5 mins.
ANOTHER THING I NOTICED
He kept saying he's avoiding Mule Kick because he doesn't want to lose the Thundergun again, but you can choose not to have the Thundergun in your Mule Kick slot. When you buy Mule Kick, all you have to do is purchase any weapon from anywhere and you''ll have your third weapon, and when the box gives you the Thundergun you simply switch it with the other weapons that's not in your Mule Kick slot. (So hypothetically if you get the crossbow as your third weapon, you don't switch the Thundergun with the Crossbow, you switch it with any of the other 2 weapons you have).
The fact that he says the Thundergun was in his Mule Kick slot, it means he either randomly decided to put the Thundergun in his 3rd place weapon which is such a noob mistake, OR when he got Mule Kick the box gave him the Thundergun straight away, which seems to be a very unlikely thign to happen especially if the Thundergun is potentially worth 300,000 points of hitting the box according to Syndicate himself.
When talking about all the other uploads, they can be pre recorded to be posted no?
Just want to add that the clip you showed of him killing a couple dogs at a time with the thundergun isn't abnormal at all. Every (5 I believe? Been a while) rounds on Kino you get a wave of dogs. The final dog of the round ALWAYS drops a max ammo every single time. It's not weird or abnormal at all to spam away with your best weapon on these rounds or the round leading up to it.
It's every 5 rounds.
@@GamerBully It's about every 5 rounds, sometimes it's 4 or 6 or even 7, it's not set exactly at 5

@@Aegis---that’s what he said
Not defending Syndicate, but I thought it worth pointing out that the clip at 15:46 actually isn't an example of wasting Thundergun ammo. The last enemy in a dog round always drops a Max Ammo power up, so using the Thundergun to kill it is perfectly fine.

The video and tweets that you used were older ones of mine from a few years ago.

Sending you best wishes for the year! Thanks for all the quality content! 🎉
Waste of money
Crazy amounts of money there God bless you bro even tho im not the owner of this channel tks for helping out people that spit faxs 😎🙏
Damn, you gave him 100$ and he didn't even see it. Save your money next time dude.
Where my wishes at? 😂
I think youtubers that ask people to give them money, should at least reply to the contributions they receive.
The fact that Karl didn't take the time to respond to this contribution wit a thank you or anything makes me lose a bit of respect for him honestly.
I remember as a kid watching another zombie RUclips channel ASF (awesome sauce films) they had a bet we're they would run a zombies match solo and see who could get the highest round. They would both have to upload the footage but only ASF did after winning (they both didn't get far around round 10) it became a running joke on their channel to bring it up. I was always sceptical of him after that.
Merry Christmas Karl and happy holidays to everyone else, we the people absolutely love everything you have been doing, thank you.
Syndicate was one of the reasons I got into zombies back in the day. I eventually stopped watching him around the time of Black Ops 3 and kind of forgot about him. I'd occasionally hear something about one of his controversies, read it, think "Oh what a shame" and move on with life. I didn't exactly realise just how MANY there were. What baffled me the most watching this is the basic things like being able to see which character you're playing as, or the other easily noticeable inconsistencies. I thought he was smarter than that, even 10 years ago. And anyone watching who's even half as into zombies as he was should've noticed that too.
I stopped watching him too long ago to feel crushed or betrayed by this, I'm just surprised he got away with it, and still denies it to this day when he knows full well how obvious it is. He's not manipulative like Jirard, just obscenely lucky.
Getting paid for the rigged CSGO skins gambling and dipping out quietly while letting Tmartn take all the heat. Playing his own game and pretending it's not, to get people to buy it as un-stated advertisement. He's just as scummy.
@@KainYusanagiI did not know about this controversy at all, used to watch both of those around 2011 and just kinda fell off with COD and their content not long after . Sad what became of them
He was also in trouble for sub botting
the biggest evidance in this case is Syndicate has cheated and lied to his audience in the past... so why whould he not lie again? clearly he is fake AF
did the audience magically forget the CSGO skin Unboxing scandal?
I played a lot of Kinder Der Toten... watch Syndicate play just now was so painful. Just in those few snippets anyone with experience playing COD:BO Zombies could see he had no idea how to play smart.
Good old 2011. When it was good for your channel to release many videos a day.
Wild how the meta has flipped from spamming 10 minute long playthroughs from moderate gameplay to 10 second tiktoks of skibadi toilet. We were dumb then and still dumb now.
they used to re upload the same video too, cause it made them more money. tom was one of the main ones that done it along with white boy 7st. scumbags since 2011

Even if you splice without giving yourself extra lives, this is not ok. Kino der toten has Reset times around 75-80hrs into the run so there is a set time limit you have to finish a game. Good video, cool to see more attention brought to it
by chance what is the music in the beginning ?
It's crazy how many of these high profile content creators gained popularity with fake stuff. And then it's even crazier how people who probably grew up watching them will defend them. Most of the time I don't even know who these people are until Karl does a video about them.
It’s happening right now with COD Warzone. Half the streamers / content creators all have extremely suspicious gameplay or obvious gameplay involving cheats - yet they are still endorsed by the community .
Not to mention Dream
Kind of like MiniLadd’s defenders.
I used to watch syndicate as a kid. And I don't really have any feelings on this. There was a point in my life where I liked his stuff and watched him. But I grew up and grew past him and after I did then all the drama and controversy came out.
All I can say is this, it's video games on RUclips. It's not important, him cheating is "wrong", yes, because it's fake, because it's lying. But I'm almost 26 now. I look at the world, social media, TV, Podcasts, it's all fake, at least 90% of it is. Even the people you know. I've come to just accept it's not really all that special, and while I don't think that makes it "ok," I know none of this really matters. Everyone wants to look like the most successful, intelligent, or moral person in the room. And the truth is nobody is any of those things. We all claw our way to where we wanna be, and often times, the easiest way is through selling BS. I'm still disappointed, but I'm not sad or angry at syndicate personally because I'm past the point where I'd actually care about something this small.
The dude cheated at zombies, darn. He ripped people off from their money, oh no. Anyways, our government has been doing lying to it's people since before I was born and almost every salesperson I know is trying to rip you off by peddling junk you don't need. We live in a fake era and Tom is just another cast member.
I wouldn't say ALL celebrities are fake imo but it's definitely understandable why you'd adapt that mindset (I have too), it prevents a lot of disappointment.@@BigWheel.
Syndicate was someone I always watched when I was kid but I grew up and stopped watching him but when I went back to look up his old stuff, its crazy to realize how many controversies he has been in and yet never has canceled for any of it.
Was a different time.
@@mattweismiller ?
@@alexknight81he’s talking about Karl’s channel, but idk why cause there was no need and no correlation with the comment 😂
@@tray2204No they weren't, they're talking about Syndicate's controversies all happening when you could get away with a lot more on the internet.
@@RevyaAeinsett looks like you missed the point where @mattweismiller deleted his comment
As a kid i tried over and over to do it.. at round 45-50 the guns do jack shit, and they barely get you any points, also the thundergun glitches sometimes and misses zombies directly in front of you, and on 50 you cant get through a wave with the thundergun alone the ammo is too low
i mentioned something in one of his recent streams about having different characters throughout the entire thing and i got insta banned from his stream 😂
I don't even understand why someone would bother to stick to an inconsequential lie they told when they were a child. If a friend called me out for screen-peaking when we were kids I wouldn't baby rage and make up lies to cover it up.
screen peaking is a legitimate strategy change my mind
Ah, but your lie didn't give you 14 million views and a whole lot of subscribers, did it? I can understand not wanting to let it go, as stupid as it honestly is.
Thats all they have. Just look at Milly Bitchel
If my brother today called me out for screen peaking 13 years ago, I'd deny that shit like Clinton denying getting head. Edit: because I did not screen peak, never have, and never will :)
a legitimate strategy to cheat@@Tocinos
I'm starting to think this Syndicate Project guy may not be very trustworthy... Anyway, time to play CSGO Lotto!
A huge hole in this arguement (btw im not saying you're wrong) is that you can have videos queued up for upload. So all the zombies games could've been prerecorded including minecraft and uploded days in advance then all released at specfied times. Because you can choose release time for videos on youtube.
I remember seeing this back then and being amazed. Syndicate will do anything to cheat his way through life.
"Syndicate being accused of cheating is a dishonor against my mother"

Jiffraud's mother died, how dare you
This is one of the funniest comments on RUclips! This has nothing to do with Jirard; it doesn't make sense, yet it's funny.
Underrated comment
Syndicate is a weird case because I remember him refusing to fake a loss with a bog rematch with wingsofredemption, where wings would have paid him to lose. Maybe it was to try and clear his credibility in some way or maybe he does all this because of narcissism and not the money.
Syndicate wasn't faking this run for pay necessarily, it was for popularity that then leads to opportunities for money, but at the time he was probably just thinking about the popularity. Wings offering him money to take a dive in a 1v1 is a very different situation because there's probably nothing wings would be willing to pay that would be worth the reputation hit that he would take from losing.
WingsofRedemption putting on a Grinch smile right now.
I watched this guy on black ops, crazy to think he cheated. He was THE zombies guy. You think Zombies, you thought of syndicate.
And this is the thing that upsets me the most.
He made himself into the best known pro player. And he wasn't even that. He didn't deserve it
"Even if Syndicate did use a time machine to grind 36 hours in a single day, you'd think this would be something he would mention" hahahaha I love this channel.
I have to admit. This is a bitter pill to swallow. It absolutely rips me up even after I haven't watched a video of his in years. He inspired me to do my own round 100 on ascension when the psn went down. He was my favorite video maker of all time and I watched every single episode of his minecraft episodes. I never once had a single thought he might be a cheater. Of all the ones you have exposed, being on the other side of the fence is a strange feeling.
I had sleepless nights when I found out his run was fake, it hurt me more then when my dog died 😢
I hope this is sarcasm @@JT-dk3mw
He is not only a cheater in the game but a cheater and scammer in life. All in all a horrible person.
Stopped watching the bloke after the CSGO gambling malarkey
I just noticed that one of your Patrons is called Billy Mitchell 😂 (18:17)
Is this the same Syndicate as in "TmarTn and Syndicate are scum" from the CS:GO lotto days? If so, not surprising that a scumbag turned out to be a fraudster as well.
Great video. One thing to note: in the second example of him not saving ammo he uses the thundergun to kill the final dog. This is normal behavior because the final dog always drops a max ammo.
This is true but it's immediately followed by clips of him using the thunder gun to kill 4-8 zombies after stressing how he needs to kill 24 in a single shot. The creator of this video did admit though he is not a zombies player.
The final dog drops a max but if you use your thundergun ammo u will only get 12 and not 14... so using your last 2 shots of a dog round is insanely inefficient considering...
@@zombieslayer470 you just reload before you pickup the max ammo and get it? Been a while since I played zombies but almost certain that is the case.
@@MattA-fi5qe The thundergun cant be manually reloaded, if you don't have reserve ammo you're always gonna be short at least 1 shot in it
@@joshhedge5051 yes you can reload the thundergun what are you talking about
Like 12 years ago he did a zombies challenge on Ascension against TheNoochM and Bajan Canadian. This was really exciting because I was a fan of them all at the time, and there was quite a bit of pride involved because Syndicate claimed to be the best iirc. Well, he lost and proceeded to never upload his perspective and I think that said a lot about his character.
If ANYONE else remembers this please let me know lol
damn this one hit me. i remember watching his videos back in the day admiring this exact run. crazy i never even thought of the possibility of him cheating
Karl I love you and everything you do. Thanks for the hours and hours of entertainment
I’m glad that with the help of Cruppz, Flurh etc. that it is getting more attention. Within the Zombies community it was already well-known. I’m very happy that Karl really gets it to a way bigger audience. Because the Zombies High Round Community is rather small. Love to see it!
Cruppz and Flurh are god sends to the zombies community
@@bretarseneault7302 They really are
@@Onyxizedehhhhh no
Wings of Redemption won.
There’s a spider on his bed so he grabs a shoe ignoring the gun in his hands 😂😂😂
Cheaters, liars, generally all sorts of scumbags - if there is anyone who can speedrun exposing these kind of people with extensive analysis and collected evidence is Karl "LEGEND" Jobst. Thank you Karl, you are doing great job.
There's more cheaters now on call of duty than ever before, it's gotten to the point of so ridiculous that you've got to wonder if activision is making a profit on the mod packs being sold.
This makes me so sad. I remember being 12 years old in the back of my mom's car on a long road trip watching his all pack-a-punch run on her iPad. I never knew he faked his stuff :(
yeah he kinda just denies it and continues having scummy scandals revolve around him wherever he goes.... still can't believe he stole millions of dollars from his own audience and no one seems to care
How did he open consol on an xbox 360 ?
If he wanted people to think he was in the same run it makes sense for him to say this is my second down which explains why he had another quick revive. He started a new run and didn't go down until shown in the videos.
Sadly those too-big-to-fail youtubers/streamers will wipe their tears in their apology videos with the millions they made from their scams. I've never seen any proper backlash/consequence and neither will there be this time I fear.
I agree with you but in your perspective whats a proper sequence of backlash and consequences for stuff like this?
@@tylerlackey1175 I think the most basic consequence should be deplatforming, as the following was amassed via deceptive/otherwise awful means and that would at least put a dent in their business for a while. But even that might just be temporary when seeing that people, like Dream or that one guy who filmed a suicide victim and put it on youtube, got off basically scot-free and even increased their followings after the scandals. Which makes me think, even if those channels were deleted, their prior subscribers would come back in no time on a new account and have no issue with whatever they do or did. The only signal those scandals sent out were that, you may anger a hundred people but you get thousands of followers in return, which is a good deal for many.
@@tylerlackey1175 people have had accounts terminated for a lot less, I think that's all we're saying. Twitch will ban someone based off a rumor they heard, how does YT and Twitch do absolutely nothing when it's announced one of their biggest creators is involved in promoting gambling to children AND committing gambling fraud by stealing millions from his own audience.
@@Detekrwelcome to reality my friend. That shit's unfair, awful and evil but so is the world we live in :D I used to look at things from perspective similar to yours, but I understood that there is no justice. People create internet and people overall are morally biased, they don't like to see and hear things that they don't agree on, so they just ignore it and let it be. My advice to you, try to engage less in social problems as we ourselves will never be able to judge things objectively ;)

Karl is the real Santa, this Christmas. Putting two big influencers on the naughty list. Well done dude, happy holidays!
Was Syndicate not on your naughty list after the csgo bs or was faking a zombies record 10 years ago the final straw for you? lol
@@shottxy4647 I mean he was but this just makes it worse. It's fine to say "fine, that was like 10 years ago: I faked it" but his WHOLE career was built off that lie.
So it just makes it double naughty which I think Santa only reserves for what he calls "the unforgivable".
10yrs+ on and still tryna catch someone out, how sad
Like if you only know who Syndicate is because of WingsofRedemption.
I absolutely love Cruppz videos on COD zombies, such an underrated creator and I’m glad guys with bigger channels like you and wendigoon are working with him
i hate wendigoon but love cruppz. cruppz videos are top quality
Damn, Karl really trying to clear through his naughty list in time for Christmas.
This is more of a "I need some extra sponsorship money, let's just reiterate what two people said in their video about this cheater I had never previously heard of" video.
Jirard wasn't naughty and was framed.
@@haiwin8086 how so?
@@haiwin8086 framed for what? Lying about donating to charity and withholding the funds for a better part of a decade lmfao
@@sweetschmeat7417 No. Karl said Jirard didn't sign the forms when he did. Karl intentionally didn't correct this until the third video in which his "pathetic #####" was unleashed.
Fantastic video again Karl, whats your best round?

Dude who scammed his audience and lied about owning a gambling website, cheated ? What a shock
As Billy M taught us, compulsive liars will never admit the lie, they’ll do anything to uphold the lies, big or small. Once they profit off a lie, and build their entire person off of it, there’s just no way they’ll ever roll it back.
I just found out about this a couple weeks ago and was so disappointed. I stopped paying attention after the CSGO scam but still had the memories of being amazed as a kid by the memories of watching his records being baffled that someone could get to round 50+ let alone 100+. Seeing it be outed as fake is so sad
It isn't hard to get high rounds. The only thing that's hard is having the patience to carry on when each round takes 40 plus minutes to complete. You get to a point where only wonder weapons and traps will kill zombies
@@dannywright1317we were kids Danny, chill out.
@@CommentSectionLover what part of what I said was aggressive? No need to chill out thanks I was just stating a point. Maybe you need to chill
@@dannywright1317😂😂😂
The 27k kills at 115 snippet. Was a key point that wasn’t pointed out, but you wouldn’t know unless you actually reach that round. I’ve never reached 115. Yet I have reached 76, and closed out after playing for a painful 9+ hours straight. An had 71k kills at the end. So seeing that small amount of kills let’s me know he jumped to later rounds. Which is (cheating) none the less.
I remember watching this when it came out. Crazy to think it took this long to come out. This seems too elaborate for him to come up with. I mean, it didn't take long at all to figure out his association with CSGO Lotto....
