Ac7ionMan was swapped again during the kick stream and vows to finally catch the man behind it

Ac7ionMan was swapped again during the kick stream and vows to finally catch the man behind it

Ac7ionMan fell victim to another swap while hanging out with friends at his Texas home. The Kick streamer announced that he will work with the police to catch the prank callers once and for all.

Two weeks earlier, Ac7ionMan was banned for three days on Twitch after featuring permanently banned streamer Ice Poseidon. Although his channel was restored on the platform, Ac7ionMan instead returned and continued streaming IRL on Kick.

However, the streamer, who has been the victim of swatting several times throughout his streaming career, was once again the victim of swatting during his kick stream on August 22 at his home in Texas.

He and some friends approached the front door after hearing a knock. “Who’s there?” one asked, followed by loud knocking and the visitors announcing they were from the Lakeway Police Department.

Ac7ionMan and the others communicated back and forth with officers for a while, explaining, “It’s a SWAT operation, we have our hands up, it’s a fake call, it’s a fake police call, we’re livestreamers.”

After the four people walked through the front door with their hands raised and spoke briefly with two officers, authorities searched the house while the group filmed them.

They asked if Ac7ionMan wanted to officially report them, to which he replied: “Off stream I will try, but every time I do they never get caught and I have tried to catch these guys. I know the exact name of their organization and I am willing to cooperate.”

“I will work with law enforcement and do everything I can to bring you all down,” he continued, adding, “This is about the 50th time this has happened to me.” After giving him a phone number, the officers left and he continued streaming without further problems.

Although that incident went relatively smoothly, Ac7ionMan was held at gunpoint and coerced by Miami police during another Kick stream in January. In October of last year, Miami authorities also arrested the streamer on multiple drug charges.
