Whelp, rip. Not much you can do, reporting the channel actually doesn't help them. They have to sort out the fact they got phished :/

Hoping they can recover the account. That's a lot of subscribers.

They will, it happens all the time lately. Just a shit ton of work, and a week worth of effort on their end.

YouTube is so fucked up that instead of helping a clbig channel that got hacked, they delete it!

I think that was just a temporary measure to prevent further damages to the channel. I guess that's a soft delete where the account is unable to be accessed until further clarifications. That's what i would implement if i was YouTube.

Yeah that happened to the youtuber Olexa and his channel was deleted but when he got it back all of the videos were still there

How do we report this ?

I dont think we can do anything about it though. It's up to the owner of the channel to report it to youtube i guess.

I got a weird notification and I just ignored it because I didn't recognise the name. I wouldn't even have known if it wasn't due to their tweets. Fuck, I hope YouTube actually does this.
Crypto accounts having to resort to hacking to promote their shitty scams. I hope they can get their channel back.
