By Aaron Rigby | Oct. 1

The world’s most infamous illegal sports streaming website was taken down on Wednesday, Sept. 3., following a successful sting operation. Egyptian law enforcement officials and the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment terminated the notorious illegal service following a year-long investigation, which led to a raid on the Streameast headquarters on Aug. 24, 2025, resulting in the arrest of two men in Egypt.
