Chet Goldstein

==Controversy==
===Accusations of racism/pedophilia===
After exposing Bryant, a lot of controversies came out about Alex. Alex was called out for one of his older prank videos, where he called Black Lives Matter hotlines, and repeatedly said racial slurs against African-Americans. He was also on video, saying racial slurs again, homophobia, being creepy to a decoy asking to do inappropriate things for him claiming it was a predator, and talked about having a three year old female child in his basement. He also made racist jokes about African-Americans, such as a joke on video about them "not being able to swim." Alex's behavior was called out by SomeOrdinaryGamers, and penguinz0, for his older videos. Since then, both EDP445 and Alex have been terminated off of YouTube.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_nu07jDiHw
===Termination===
After all the accusations came out about Alex, he was terminated along with EDP445. At the time, he had about 120K subscribers and 4.3M views.
===EDP's response===
EDP made a now deleted response on Facebook to Chet's sting operation. The response didn't mention how he was completely outed for being a child predator/pedophile, Bryant repeatedly tries to act tough in the video and stays in character the entire way through. A few days after this video was posted, Bryant's account was terminated from Facebook.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anZR_uOCyN4
== After YouTube termination ==
One year after Alex channel was terminated from YouTube, he began making videos on a channel created on 1 July, 2020 called PP Southeast Texas (or PPSETX for short) where he would catch predators through sting operations. He claims to have made arrests in 27 different states as of May 2022. The channel has 160 000 subscribers as of January 2024.https://www.youtube.com/@PPSETX/videoshttps://www.wkyt.com/2022/05/26/wkyt-investigates-vigilante-justice/
He also started collabing with YouTube prankster Eric Kanevsky where he would help him out with his pranks.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHckbxITpVkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoFklRBNtoc
Michael Knowles of the Daily Wire posted a video of an interview with Alex on January 6th, 2024. The video's thumbnail text plainly refers to Alex as a "Pedophile Hunter" and the video title includes "They wanted a toddler" as a quote. Knowles and Alex discuss the legal, ethical, and political implications of the catches, and Alex argues that child predators are incapable of change. Alex mentions being (at the time of recording) 23 years old, but that he uses his beard and his size to appear older and to intimidate the subjects of his videos.
In the interview, Alex remarked that some of his comments on YouTube pointed out the political affiliation of the suspected "predators," saying that he's "catching conservatives." Alex contends that this is stupid, stating that the police officers are most likely also conservatives and that it is irrelevant.
On June 22, 2024, conservative news site The Gateway Pundit reported that Alex had caught Maryland's LGBTQ Diversity Council Chair, Michael Knaapen.Maryland's Democrat LGBTQ Diversity Council Chair Busted After Meeting Up With 14-Year-Old Decoy (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit | by Anthony Scott Alex wrote on X, “We just busted the head of the LGBTQ Dems of Maryland going after a 14-year-old.” The individual alongside Alex is supposedly the same man who decoyed as a minor.
