Must be a tough balance. By posting this video he blows this process since the scammers will now know the details.

Yeah, it's tough one. On one hand they make their living with videos and need to producing and releasing, but then blow their cover. On the other, they could be wasting scammers time and effort for a longer time, building up years of material but have to float the all the costs until they're ready.
Perhaps they have something else in the works. Perhaps they're gonna white-label the call-center/bitcoin stack they built so that more scambaiters can "apply their brand" and get in on the action.
I'm hoping for some kind of AI representative functionality that just keeps them in a conversation for hours. Perhaps they can run full circle using AI conversation as the victim all the way through to the bank/call-center. Kinda like the Lenny bot.
Scammers do not have a shared consciousness (some may argue lack a conscience at all) so unless they see this video, they don't know the details simply because it exists on YouTube.

They do have whatsapp group chats though.
He's already known to many of these scammers, I've seen multiple videos where he was identified. But by that time he'd already wasted the time of two or three people in the call center.
