In 2016, PhantomL0rd was found to be involved in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive bet rigging and being an undisclosed partial owner of CSGOShuffle, a skin betting website.
Sorry, I meant to say that he was allegedly a total douche canoe that scammed numerous people out of money by lying to them. To make a long story short, PhantomL0rd was banned from Twitch after news broke about his "allegedly" douchey actions.
Fast-forward now to 2018 and PhantomL0rd is now suing Twitch for "breach of contract, intentional interference with contractual relations, and intentional and negligent misrepresentation in removing him from their platform." Basically, he's running out of money and he's throwing a Hail Mary.
According to dotesports, the lawsuit fails to mention that Twitch clarified its rules on July 14, 2016. The updated rules, at that time, said that any content which breached Valve's rules (this includes skin gambling using the Steam API) would be in breach of the terms of service. James "PhantomL0rd" Varga was banned on July 19, 2016.
Ooooh. Ouch! Uh, good luck on that PhantomL0rd?
The lawsuit can be read, in full, via Scribd.

by Shawn ZipayRemember this guy? Of course you don't, nobody does.
Back in the far off time of 2016, Twitch dished out a lifetime ban against Counter-Strike: Global Offensive streamer James "PhantomL0rd" Varga. The reason for the ban was allegedly never made clear, only that Varga was ousted "due to terms of service violations." Of course, the reason he was banned was assumed to be due to the allegations that Varga was balls deep in the mess that was CS:GO skin bet rigging through...-

by Shawn ZipayTired of Twitch flagging all of your previous streams because you were listening to music? Don't worry about that any more because Twitch has introduced over 500 royalty-free tracks that you can use in live and archived videos. This simply means that your videos will not get flagged by the Twitch audio recognition system when you listen to these royalty-free songs.
"Our community has been vocal about the importance of music for their broadcasts and their love of music in general,"...-

Also, how much money does this guy have to hire two different law firms? I really doubt this is pro bono.
