Predator Catches Himself: The Messy Fall of Ramy El-Daly from OBL Nation
When the “Pred Catcher” Gets Caught
It’s not every day you see someone blow up their own reputation live on camera—but that’s exactly what happened to Ramy El-Daly, the self-proclaimed “pred catcher” behind OBL Nation.
Let’s break down the chaos.
Who Is Ramy El-Daly?
If you’ve hung out on the predator-hunting side of YouTube, you’ve probably seen Ramy. He and his OBL Nation crew hunt down online predators by setting up stings with decoys posing as minors.
It’s always dramatic, sometimes uncomfortable—and, until recently, Ramy painted himself as the good guy.
But stories have a way of flipping.
The Big Exposure
A Reddit post made the rounds with this headline:
"Irony at Its Finest: 'Pred catcher' Ramy El-Daly of OBL Nation exposed for being a predator himself & cheating on his decoy/gf with multiple women during his own live catch."
That’s a mouthful, but to put it plainly:
- Ramy, the guy catching creeps, is now being accused of being one himself.
- And while supposedly in a relationship with his decoy/girlfriend, he’s also hooking up with other women—during his own stings.
Yes, you read that right: during the actual predator catches.
What Happened, Exactly?
The details are as messy as you’d expect. According to the Reddit post, there’s video evidence of Ramy cheating while on the job.
His girlfriend—who worked as a decoy to lure in potential predators—found out he was seeing other women behind her back. To make it worse, he was allegedly chatting with these women while conducting live catches. That’s next-level multitasking, but not in a good way.
If you want a visual, here’s a screenshot linked from Reddit.
Why Does This Matter?
It’s not just classic YouTube hypocrisy—although there’s plenty of that. The whole situation pokes holes in the trust people put in these vigilante “predator catchers.”
If the guy spearheading the show is actually crossing his own red lines, what does that say about the “good vs. evil” story he’s been selling?
Plus, there’s another layer here:
- The women involved (his decoy/girlfriend and others) were kept in the dark and hurt.
- The “catches” themselves might have been compromised—faked, or worse, used for Ramy’s personal drama.
Takeaways
This isn’t just a “gotcha!” moment. It asks a bigger question:
Can you trust self-appointed online vigilantes?
Sometimes, the masks slip—and the person catching the predators turns out to be just as bad. Maybe next time you see a viral “predator bust,” remember that the cameraman might have his own secrets.
