YouTube career
In 2015 one of Moroni’s external collaborators Diego Dolciami unfaithfully registered the “DM PRANKS” trademark. In January 2018 the federal district of California sentenced Dolciami for the use of the competing mark which constitutes trademark infringement and the competing application was made in bad faith and constitutes fraud upon the USPTO.
