Fascinating thread.
 
Came across this in Google and thought I'd clear up some of the misconceptions.
 
1. The NCIXcom and LinusTechTips accounts were restored after 1 and 3 weeks respectively.
 
2. No legal action has been pursued against the hijacker, and it did not disrupt NCIX business in any way other than to prevent me from uploading a few videos.
 
3. I never made any embarrassing videos to get the accounts back. I was able to retrieve them by submitting the appropriate forms to Google and waiting for them to contact me about how to set things right.
 
4. My cat tips channel is awesome :p

Linus
