A Brooklyn federal grand jury handed down an indictment last week accusing two brothers—one in New York and another in Bangladesh—of running an allegedly illegal sports and video streaming service known as 247TVStream.
Noor Nabi Chowdhury, 56, of Cheektowaga, New York, and his little brother, Mohammad Rahman, 36, of Dhaka, Bangladesh, operated the low-costs streaming service from May 2017 to November 2024, authorities charged. Under the alleged scheme, the brothers posed as regular customers to at least four separate streaming services to obtain legitimate subscriptions to at least four content providers, authorities alleged. They then allegedly rebroadcast dramas, kids’ TV and cooking shows along with live sporting events featuring MLB, NBA, NHL games and rodeo events, the streamers’ website shows.
