Prankster VitalyzdTV Fined $1,000 For Storming NBA Finals, Tells Judge To ‘Stay Sexy’ In New Vlog

YouTube prankster Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, who counts roughly 11 million subscribers between his two channels, may be just as entertaining in the courtroom as he is online.

Zdorovetskiy, who has had numerous run-ins with the law,  appeared before a judge in Cleveland on Wednesday, where he plead no contest to running onto the court during an NBA Finals game earlier this month shirtless with ‘Trump sucks’ written on his chest and ‘LeBron for President’ scrawled across his back. He was fined $1,000 for trespassing in a place of public amusement.

“Is it too late to say sorry?” Zdorovetskiy said — quoting Justin Bieber during the hearing — per Cleveland.com. “I’ll never come back here again,” he added. “Unless the Cavs make the finals again.” This comment reportedly drew laughs from spectators as well as Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Lauren Moore. “We’re happy to watch you from far away on YouTube,” added assistant city prosecutor Angela Rodriguez.

After he was sentenced, Zdorovetskiy exited the courtroom and promptly started vlogging. “Thanks, Judge Moore,” he said. “You’re awesome. Stay sexy.” And, as he had promoted the hearing on Twitter, roughly two dozen fans showed up to greet him, according to Cleveland.com.

Zdorovetskiy, who was also banned by the NBA from attending any games for a year, has pulled several news-making — and law-breaking — stunts. In 2014, he half-streaked onto the field during a World Cup match with the words ‘Natural Born Prankster‘ scrawled across his belly and chest. Most recently, he mounted the ‘D’ of the Hollywood sign, for which he was sentenced to 460 hours of community service, one year of probation, and a $3,000 fine, according to Cleveland.com.

Zdorovetskiy documented the latest court appearance on his vlog channel. Check it out below:
