There has never been an industry I've seen riddle so much with scammers and parasites like the video games industry. The latest scammer? Samy "BeuMonkey" Bourechit and Augustin of MilkyWay Games, creators of their "play-to-earn"  gambleware game Monkey Empire, formerly known as Crypto Monkey Empire!

They even decided to change their policy on payments to their freelancers for some half-assed reasons.

First half of the money paid:

2nd half of the money requirement complete: the programmer was able to access and work the UI:

2nd half of the money, Samy is stalling me, claiming the Battleground AI is not working and apparenly couldn't access it. I offered to call for screenshare and guide him through his alleged troubles. He refused to do so and switched subject again:

https://i.gyazo.com/e02ef3c20378a726f077485eea354830.png

Samy claimed Skatoony is still having trouble using the UI and wanted me to talk to him. I did, he assured me all was well:

After this, radio silence. I was now frustrated and fed up with his manipulative games and dodging my questions about my other half of the payment for the new and improved UI system I was working on for him:

https://i.gyazo.com/e5a75872b3e95760dc91196bdff640b2.png

At this point, Crypto Monkey Empire removed me from their private Discord server. Then he lied to me that Augustin removed me by mistake along with another freelance who claimed he wanted to quit (I will go ahead and call BULLSHIT on that claim) to cover up the fact that they deliberately booted me (kicked or banned I know not) from their server. Besides, if it was an accident, why didn't they just add me back in afterwards, huh? Except they didn't even do that!:

https://i.gyazo.com/e684a9ac976cb69a715addc0d2d76f14.png

At this point, I gave up and forfeited any hopes of getting my 2nd half, spending the remainder of Friday night drinking myself to sleep. In fact, I am not even completely sober as I type this report:

https://i.gyazo.com/2999b6fa0c439a4e72f3b93bcf929f69.png

 

Finally, he just had to respond with his stupid f**king hypocrisy:

Make no mistake. Without a doubt, MilkyWay Games is yet another scamming business that needs to be added to the blacklist. They took my UI work AND the other half of my money and ran away with it. Companies like this destroy the value of the gaming industry - what meager value and credibility it even has left.

That rebuttal was for another report on another different scammer, specifically a crypto-scammer. Unfortunately, I cannot find a way to remove or relocate the rebuttal to that report. This site's infastracture is so bloody restrictive...

 Nacho, if you dob't want to give out your real identity and you don't think that you are a scammer why have you changed your Discord name ? Are you hidding yourself from other people you scammed ? Please provide here your Discord name and tag

Nacho is a huge scammer

 First, Nacho wanted 2000$ for putting one node in one Blueprint. If this is not scam... Secondly, Nacho excuse for staying anonymous is absolute a joke, really who would care about a person like him ? Owner of that website should make it mandatory for those people to reveal their real identity, otherwise they will just scam other people and hide behind another name. If you ever see a Nacho on Unreal Slackers don't work with him but unfortunately he can easily change his name and scam other people. That guy is extremly toxic, racist, mentally ill, and jealous of anyone with a normal life. Nacho never wanted to sign a contract, another reason this post on ripoffreport shouldn't exist

The evidence to the entire story (screenshots and all) is already available on this report. Literally anyone with functioning eyes and a brain can view it and easily see through your lies. I will not debate this part of the ordeal any further with you.

I will however say this (and will very likely be my only rebuttal to this feud because honestly mate, I am done with you):

1. You DO NOT SPEAK FOR EVERYONE OR ANYONE. Not in Freelance nor Unreal Slackers. Anonymity is not unusual in this particular industry, especially in the freelance sector. Especially in a game industry where cancel culture is so rampant now, there are many who value their privacy and security, from indie developers to "professional" AAA developers.

2. You are NOT God. You know absolutely NOTHING about me if you are stupid enough to try and pretend you know my job prospects. I have no problem finding work in freelance (not anymore at least). I can easily find a new job in the indie scene now if I wanted, compared to the 2010s. The lingering problem is that there is ZERO security or protection against predators like YOU and YOUR accomplice Catton, and I am f****** FED UP with taking anymore gambits with such subhuman scumbags, only to get told to "learn and move on" or "suck it up"! I am sick and tired of working in such a toxic environment that has long drained the fun and value of game development as a career. Frankly, this gaming industry is nothing but f****** cancer and I am done working with others in it, and I have creeps like you to thank for it! As of this year, I have now relegated my talents to my own company, finishing what little commercial projects we have before focusing solely on leisure projects for the remaining future. I have a new source of funding now.

Even when the SRT thread was still active (before Evil Epic Games took it down and made it clear to all they support scammers in the freelance scene as well as pirates on the marketplace), I very rarely report individuals or companies unless I am left with no other option and the individuals have committed crimes such as scamming or attempting to swat me (in the case of one particularl sub-human). Even here on this site, you are just one of extremely few such scumbags I did report here. I don't report companies or individuals that behave like peices of s*** or is some abusive moron, I simply block them. If you're on my report this, this is because you committed or attempted a crime against me and no justice was ever made; no one in the position of authority did their job; no one did anything about it. That is why this vigilante justice site exists.

3. You are here for a D*** GOOD REASON. YOU DESERVE TO BE HERE! Take responsibility for your actions and stop making phony a*s lies and manipulations; the similar way you manipulated nearly everyone who had the misfortune of working with you, as well as scammed some of us. Even some of those so-called "scammers" you claimed scammed you in the past, turned out to be opposite of what you claimed; in reality, you scammed them - stole their money, booted them out of the dev server, and cut them off - JUST LIKE YOU DID WITH ME! One of those people even reported you on the SRT thread during the 2010s with solid evidence of your malicious scam (again, before Evil Epic nuked the thread whole). You also admitted in voice chat that you exploited and manipulated the crypto economy, including your sponsors like Avalanche, the very cryptocurrency company you were preaching was the "savior of finance!" while manipulating me into investing into their coins, going so far as to persistently pressuring me into accepting them as payment instead of regular fiat LIKE I WANTED IN THE FIRST F****** PLACE! Speaking of coins, let's also talk about your stupid, little monkey coins and how you constantly tried to deceive me on how potentially useful and reliable they would become; trying to sell me on this "h*o so grand vision of a liberated utopia away from the hands of the filthy world governments, especially the federal government from your damned homeland, France and "those pesky COVID vaccine mandates" you periodically complained about! Remember that m***********?!? Not only that, you tricked nigh everyone on your team into invesrting into the grand crypto ponzie-scheme 'dream', only for them to see their entire funds just liquidated from the Great Crypto Collapse that happened JUST LAST F****** YEAR, AND YOU KNEW ALL OF THIS FROM THE BEGINNING, YET STILL TRIED TO SELL US ON THIS LIE!!

Practically everything I thought I knew about you was a lie Samy Boucherit. You and your accomplice Augustine are fraudsters. Worse than your average scammer; cryptoscammers. You are no better than parasites like Alex Mashinsky, Sam Bankman-Fried, Mario Nawfal, Shane Isaac, any many more of these 'crypto-influencers'!

You and your business can CRASH AND BURN for all I care!

4. F*** you and your libel. The only one who is mentally ill here is YOU Boucherit.

 Nacho told me work was done, then ask money to my collegue Augustin. We paid the guy 2000$ and has added ONE BLUEPRINT NODE ON THE BATTLEGROUND PART. 2000$ for a Blueprint node ?!!! Nacho is definitely the scammer here Of course we have not payed for the second parr of the UI. Job madr by Nacho was super poor quality, AND HE NEVER SENT THAT SECOND PART. Why should we pay for something we never had ? I can't believe what I see here. Not only that but nobody wants to work with Nacho on Unreal Slackers Discord, guy doesn't want to sign any contract and stay anonymous. Not only that, but Nach is also RACIST and MENTALLY ILL So now, Nacho you can start to Doxx yourseld here, because you must have done this kind of reports to every company you ever worked with. Still waiting for your real identity
