In the
recent weeks, it has come to my attention that Mr. Sigler has started an
advertising/spam campaign on Youtube, and has also published his own blog.
Through the Youtube spam campaign, Sigler has managed to post 96 videos, under 4 separate usernames. Below are the usernames used to post Mr. Sigler’s spam, along with the corresponding link to the Youtube channel page:
Username: actioninpanama
Videos: 30
Username: Christopher Wachter
Videos: 10
Username: David
Santiago
Videos: 42
Username: Gail
Blizzard
Videos: 14
I initially
thought that these videos were genuinely posted by clients, or business partners
on Mr. Sigler. However, after a quick comparison of the videos, it was clear to me that the
videos had been duplicated across the 4 separate accounts:
In addition
to the duplicate videos, I discovered that many of the videos had comments, from
the original poster, which had also been duplicated across all 4 accounts:
There was
even a comment from Mr. Sigler, commenting about himself in third-person:
However, this final piece of evidence I found, really put the icing on the cake. The 3 individuals (Christopher Wachter, David Santiago, and Gail Blizzard), appear to be impersonations of actual people. Below is what I found:
Christopher Wachter:
Real Name: Christopher Ride

Please be cautious if you come across some of these ads, as they are not what they appear. This campaign by Mr. Sigler appears to be aimed at countering the negative publicity about him and his businesses that is currently out there. I guess the logic behind this campaign is to flood the internet with positive content, in hopes that it will drown out this blog, and other sites that are reporting the truth.
I will continue to post updates as new information becomes available.
