Luxury watch dealer and internet creator Tyler Mikorski, better known online as Vookum, suddenly became a trending topic after his mug shot started circulating on social media. The New York-based watch seller later posted a video explaining what happened, saying he was wrongfully arrested and spent three days in jail. According to Mikorski, the arrest happened on March 1, 2026, while he was preparing to board a flight to the Bahamas. Authorities told him there was a warrant connected to a grand larceny case in Florida.
The situation quickly caught attention online because many followers were surprised to see the well-known watch influencer involved in a criminal case. However, Mikorski insists the case was a misunderstanding. In his explanation, he said someone allegedly pretended to be him online and scammed a buyer, which eventually led investigators to issue a warrant in his name. The story quickly spread across platforms like YouTube and social media, with people trying to understand how the situation unfolded.
