Accused of 'scamming' in a Reddit thread, CS:GO streamer Phantoml0rd threatens to sue moderators

James "Phantoml0rd" Varga, who earlier this year sued Twitch over a suspension of his account in 2016 and was then counter-sued in turn, is now threatening legal action against the moderators of the LivestreamFail subreddit. The cause of his consternation is a thread alleging that he and Victoria "Dinglederper" Weeks, his former girlfriend, are "back to scamming" people with something called VGO skins.
Varga was suspended from Twitch in 2016 over his association with skin gambling site CSGOShuffle, which he heavily promoted on his channel without disclosing the fact that he allegedly owned it. Shortly thereafter, Valve issued a cease-and-desist order against more than 20 CS:GO skin gambling sites; more recently it imposed new cooldown rules on trading to help reduce the incidence of fraud.
