Jose “Chenel” Teran, a leader in perhaps the largest known YouTube music royalty scam in history, was sentenced to 70 months in prison on Monday. Though the official legal document has yet to be made publicly available, the news was verified by an IRS agent who worked on the case. Teran claimed approximately 50,000 song titles that he and his company MediaMuv had no ownership rights to over the course of about five years.
