The Biggest Cheaters of Cubing History 

the other big one not mentioned is Fabio De'Rose, which is arguably the most entertaining of all. tl:dr, professional magician, got a sub30 3bld solve while averaging 50s by replacing the cube under the cover brought to him with one he already knew the scramble, the judge didnt notice because someone else in the venue just set an NR and the entire venue was distracted. In addition, he claimed to have gotten 40 second memo in an official 9 minute 5bld solve by one passing entirely audio memo (the fastest 5bld memo done officially so far 6 years later is Hill pong's ASR with 41 memo). When asked about his 5bld times, he said he averaged somewhere in the 4-5 minute range, but upon being asked to record some 5bld attempts at home, the best he could send was an 8 minute attempt (DNF) in which he had already attempted the same scramble several times before (I think around 5 times).

1:26 no way he stopped it at 12345

1:25 OK BUT THAT TIME THO

Great video! That was interesting and also a bit sad to watch, especially the case where the parents allegedly helped their son to cheat (top notch parenting). I'm glad they all got exposed.

Such an interesting video to start off the new year! Hope you get much bigger on yt soon

cheating at clock is embarrassing

Great video, and I love the new, more serious documentary-ish style of video! I hope you put out more of these videos soon.

yo bro i got a suggestion You could upload your video essays like this one as podcasts cause it could be more convenient and it doesnt require too much additional effort Love your videos man x

Awesome video! This is like a documentary!

I love this style of videos pls make more

Great video! Just wondering, were you trying to make a video similar to the style of SunnyV2?

Cubemaster deserves more subscribers with the type of content he's posting

great video! i never knew of the first guy until now

What scares me is that there may be cheaters currently active yet to be discovered...

great vid cube master!

Great vid bro!

Interesting as usual. Thank you master.

6:46 Martin Telesforo affirmed that it could have been a misscramble because that tournament was very poorly organized, he said that his cube got stuck in a crack in the table and he made random movements and gave up the resolution but a large part of the F2L OLL skip was put together and a J perm himself affirmed that he was not proud because it was luck, apart from the fact that the cube was obviously not well Scrambled (the WCA tried to accuse him of cheating and they did not give him the opportunity to only put DNF to the resolution for a misscramble and they accused him of cheater and they banned of competitions)

7:56 that's why max park takes his non-oh hand off the timer while solving. so that doesn't happen.

Once I had an entire round of skewb removed because I didn't know that sarah's notation wasn't what the standard used and I scrambled like a third of the round 😭

Great video fam

Please do more of things like this

really well made video!

A good rule to follow if you are going to cheat: Don't be too obvious, if on tests you always get mid C range, it will be very suspicious if you get an A+ out of nowhere.

it's also very easy to accidentally stop the timer with your solving hand while doing OH ☠️☠️

We can all agree that you used the tornado v3 and the rs3m in the video.

More of these videos please😄

U should also notice that Màtyàs was disappointed just as he put the cube down, b4 the sight blocker was taken away 1:23 look carefully at his reaction

nice observations i like your vid

One word: MORE! (Videos)

I think it was unfair that the competitor being helped by a delegate in bld was banned. It wasn’t his fault that the delegate told him the center orientation and he didn’t try to cheat.

6:50 the caption says martin cholesterol 😂

​ @Cube Master You can add another one to the list. WDC just posted in the WCA forums about banning someone for 2 years for cheating in blindfold events.

might need to update this now ;)

Wow such a good video 🎉so so much info😊

Is the YLM square 1 good

1:20 I think he could have easily gotten away with his cheating if he pretended to lose grip of the cube or something so he’s forced to dnf lol

Great video, far better than any of Matthew Mayernik's.

Do you know when I can get early access to video?

About the second to last situation I was at that competition and my mom heard that dude say "They didn't catch me" or something to his friends

super nice Video crazy this facts

7:20 bud hes doin speed fmc

1:25 that time is so perfect. 12345

The lesson??? Don’t cheat 👍🏼 Honesty is the best policy

I got both 3x3 wrs during lunch rounds. The pressure was immense.

My WCA 3BLD profile is all DNF's as well but not because I cheated.

1:24 aint nobody talking about his time

Interesting video! Eh, some people try and cheat at everything lol

Matthew Mayernik 👀

Pretty interesting

When is next stream

Good video

what about U perm sracmble in worlds 2019

How do you "manipulate" a scramble? What I understand, the cube is not given to you before examining step, and it would be pretty evident if you turn the cube before timer starts, so should be pretty impossible to affect the scramble. Yeah, the competitions where the scrambled cubes were not held hidden from the cuber, but thats a err or the competition side, and it should not be considered cheating to take advantage of that information, unless you as a cuber purposefully trespassed into an area not intended for cubers not yet finished.

You forgot Jasper Murray from the mannequin incident in 2017

yes, thanks

OH results were too close to 2H results Rouxers: 😥

Guys just sub theres no point of not subing but subbing makes them happy

interesting vid

Tommaso Raposio said something interesting about Ushakov's fmc wr: R' U' F R U2 R F2 D2 R' B2 R D2 B D' B' U2 F2 D2 R' B2 D' R' F' R' U' F R' B' D2 R' U R // blocks (actually the only convincing parts of his original explanation) D U F' // EO (U/D) + DR R D2 R' U2 L' // HTR B2 D2 B2 D2 B2 // finish if you pretend it's cyprian doing random blocks at the start, this solution is almost believable

Unfortunate that these competitors did what they have done, or seem to have done in several cases. If you cheat, it's a matter of time before you're caught. All of the respect people have for you will be gone in an instant. All of the support will be replaced with rejection the very moment people learn that you duped them and made them accomplices to what you did. I doubt I'm speaking for myself here: I'm a nerdy person. Not like cool nerds who speedrun video games and have like millions of followers-I'm like the dorky sort of nerd who doesn't fit into normal crowds at all. If that sounds like you … when you go to a cubing event, these are your people. Your friends, even the ones you don't know very well yet. You don't need to be the best to make friends, and even if you're good enough to win some prize money, so what? Is the small amount of money you could win worth throwing away your connection to the people who are just glad to see you there? Is it worth being the center of positive attention for a few minutes only to become the center of doubt and ridicule for years after the fact? You don't have to be the best to be respected, you just have to finish well. Play fair, and may next time be at least as good as your last one.

Martin Teleforo's solve was indeed on cam, here it is: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BHtgCp4A6GU.html

Are these guys making any kind of real money for doing any of this? I don’t know much about speed cubing besides Felix and max but I assume even they don’t make a ton of money. These guys are really just cheating to impress other cubers? That’s pretty wild.

JS cuber mede n interviw in spanish with Martín telesforo

New video!!!!!

Cheaters SUCK!

1:26 1 23 45

Cool!

I wonder, why isn't blind cubing done using a visible cube but that has same color on all sides, but has invisible markings (UV or similiar) that can be read using blacklight. (Then the examination step could be made with a blacklight that has a timer) Another alternative would be to have magnetically attached black cover plates that covers each color, that needs to be removed using a suction cup. That should make it practically impossible to cheat during blindfolded runs, and they could be run with eyes open.

1:25 1:23:45 lol

You forgot the current single WR

What if you get the 1 in 43 quintillion luck and get a quick scramble that you can do sub 2, say you learned it for an April fool's joke, what then?

Epic

nice

Why am I not in here?

EL FEO!!!! :')

i wont cheat

:)

5th
