jaredvaldez4

View source

jaredvaldez4 (also abbreviated as JV4 or JV)[1] was a Roblox user best known for plagiarizing games and selling limited items offsite in exchange for real-life money. He is also known for his heavy use of the bait-and-switch technique.

History

Jaredvaldez4 was notorious for copying places of popular games from 2008 to 2013. He exploited games in order to gain unauthorized access to places for his own personal use. He has claimed that he acquired these games without utilizing exploits and took them only because they were supposedly uncopylocked. He also taught people how to exploit games and told people on his website Faceblox to add a marketplace of free uncopylocked games, which ended up getting added.[2]

His most popular stolen games were Paintball!, which is a copy of Daxter33's game of the same name, and The Infection, which is a copy of ScorpioPilot's game The Undead Coming with some maps added by Jared. Paintball! (now named as "Angry birds tag!") has received over 11.1 million visits, while The Infection has earned approximately 5.4 million visits. His place Red Vs Blue has achieved 2.6 million visits, and his copy of Welcome to the Town of Robloxia has achieved over 2.7 million place visits.

At his peak, he had over 23.1 million place visits, which was the highest for any player on Roblox at the time. All of his alternate accounts combined resulted in over approximately 56 million place visits total.

Groups

In addition to copying places, he copied StudioARE by establishing his own group by the name of "StudioJARE." He provoked the members of StudioARE on Xfire aswell.[3][4] One of Jared's videos was eventually removed by StudioARE due to copyright violations for stealing their "RoWar" series.[5]

Jared had two other copied groups as well. After Vortex Security leader Chibitobi refused to take Jared's offer of 2-3 million Tix to sell ownership of the group, so Jared made a replica of Vortex Security named Team Vortex. He copied Vortex Security's group icon, as well as their group uniforms. Jared's meeting center for the group was the former meeting area for a group named X-101st. The group gained over 5,040 members. Jared later sold the group to dudiebum10.

Jared took ownership of a group called Rebel Squad after scamming the previous owner of the group GOD2U for $400 USD over PayPal.[6][7] This group was also accused of plagiarism from other groups. Jared copied group bases and training facilities (which can be proven through his brother DominicBaca's account) used by Team Domino, a minor war group with over 108,000 members (as of July 29th, 2024), which is owned by Arkybow, and used the group as his own. The group icon for the group is copied from a group named Recon-Assault Team (RT). His groups grew rapidly because he falsely promised VIP in many of his games to group members.

Jared would set goals for how many members the group needed to have in order to begin training. Once the group reached said goal, Jared would change the goal. Rebel Squad has been dubbed "The Next Team Domino," because of the similarities between both groups and their owners. Rebel Squad was eventually given back to GOD2U after GOD2U contacted local authorities and PayPal to Jared for scamming.[7]

List of plagiarized games

  • Dead or Alive? (CoderQwerty's Contamination)

    • Termination

    Jared has been terminated several times on many different accounts over the years of him playing Roblox. His first account, Jaredvaldez2, was terminated after he purchased Lifetime OBC with his mother's credit card.[21] Then, in July 2008, he created Jaredvaldez4. He reuploaded all of the games he had published on Jaredvaldez. It was later terminated in 2012 after Roblox found that he created a website named "faceblox.com", the entire website being dedicated to a Roblox-themed version of Facebook. Users on Faceblox were uploading content from Roblox, and Roblox threatened to sue Jared if he did not take the website down in time. He was soon to take the website down; however, his account was terminated anyway.[22]

    Next, he created another account named Jared2valdez4 where he reuploaded all of the previous games that he had published again. The account was terminated sometime in 2013 after Roblox caught Jared selling and buying limited items for real life currency.[23]

    He created several accounts after Jared2valdez4, but has not attempted to make another public game yet. In 2010, on the forums Jared claimed he owned many other backup accounts: ChanceTK, jaredvaldez, jaredvaldez2, and jaredvaldez4. All accounts he mentioned were terminated.

    Backlash

    Because of the sheer amount of backlash that Jared received in his earlier days on Roblox, he was often the subject of scrutiny through mockery. An example of this was a video created by SharpTH in December 2011. This video was clearly intended to be sending a message addressing the animosity towards Jared, but in a rather slanderous way. CodesterProductions also made many videos on Jared, even some reuploaded videos that Jared had deleted.

    Post-Roblox Jared

    Jared has stopped plagiarizing other people's games as he has grown older, which has aided in rebuilding his reputation. He regularly posts content related to real-life events and politics. It has been disclosed on his YouTube channel that he dislikes both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and has come out as a homosexual and in a relationship with his boyfriend.

    On February 4th, 2017, he returned to Roblox for only one day. On May 28th, 2017, he made a video stating how it felt like to be remembered by millions of players. This video can be found here. On September 22nd, 2017, he made another video stating that he would return to Roblox and would play regularly under the username, "iDream4Food." However, this account was later terminated because he tried to sell limited items for real money[24] which is against the Roblox Terms of Service. However, in one of his YouTube channel videos, he is seen returning to Roblox via the username Lost2Time.

    He made his first Roblox-related video in 2018 on January 1st, 2018, titled "I'm Becoming a Roblox Gamer" which teased a full-time return to Roblox. He re-uploaded some of his old Roblox videos in mid-January and made a video revisiting his old game, named "The Infection."

    In one of his videos, he says he regrets stealing and plagiarizing games. He still actively refers to Roblox on X (formerly Twitter) and has even stated in multiple tweets that he is trying to make a comeback to Roblox as he is trying to remake one of his old games.[25]

    He also has recently did a podcast with Shigutocast where he talks about his website Faceblox, being one of the first person to sell limited items for real life money and etc. The link can be found here.

    On January 26th, 2025, Jared launched a campaign for the 2026 congressional seat in Colorado, with plans to improve the state's infrastructure, reforming the immigration system, and provide tax credits to middle class.[26][27]

    Legal Threat

    On September 9th, 2024, Jared issued a formal notice to David Baszucki stating that he would face legal action if his account isn't restored.[28] On September 21th, 2024, he created a document that serves as a basis for his lawsuit against Roblox for "defamation".[29] He also set up a fundraiser on GoFundMe with a goal of $50,000 USD to cover his legal fees and expenses for his lawsuit, but it is no longer accepting donations with only $51 USD raised.[30]

    According to the document, Jared had accounts valued at over $7,000,000 USD before their termination. Jared argues that his ban was a result of defamation, he claims that Roblox allowed false accusations and public criticism to spread among millions of users, labeling him as a malicious player responsible for exploiting platform loopholes, which led to the damages of Jared's reputation and the termination of his accounts.[31]

    It is currently unknown whether the legal action will take place or not.
