I believe he's referring to The Quartering

The Quartering started out with a Magic the Gathering channel.

He discovered that many, many of the official judges for major competitions were convicted child sex offenders, on the sex offender registry.

When he reported the news he was banned from competitions and taken to court.

He shut down his channel, basically because he could pay the staggering legal costs.

It became crystal clear that WotC Tournament Organizers Knew about the issue and had at best done nothing, but more probably encouraged child molesters by running cover for them.

Eventually WotC quietly fixed the problem and pretended nothing had ever happened.
