@neverknu: Streameast, the world’s largest illegal sports streaming network, was shut down in Egypt after a year-long investigation led by the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment and local authorities. On August 24, 2025, police raided operations in El-Sheikh Zaid near Cairo, arresting two people and seizing laptops, phones, credit cards, and cash. The network, which drew over 1.6 billion visits in the past year across 80 domains, offered free access to major events like the Premier League, NFL, NBA, and pay-per-view fights. Investigators uncovered a scheme that laundered more than $6 million in ad revenue through a UAE shell company, with funds moved into crypto and real estate. Now, Streameast’s domains redirect users to ACE’s “Watch Legally” site, though copycat and mirror sites are already surfacing to fill the gap.
