ORIGINS
EST. 2016
Ashton Bingham & Art Kulik are Los Angeles-based producers and content creators. After discovering their shared passion for creating online content, they founded Trilogy Media Inc. in 2016 and have since become YouTube's favorite scam-busting duo, with their videos garnering over 300 million views. They are Streamy Award winners, four-time Telly Award winners, and Webby Award honorees.
Trilogy Media's mission is to alert the public to the scams plaguing society, using comedic, character-driven videos to shed light on the predators behind them. In 2016, Ashton and Art took on the IRS robocall scammers. Their first video went viral, earning millions of views within the first 24 hours and launching a movement.
A decade later, that mission has moved from the internet to the front lines of law enforcement. Ashton and Art don't just expose scammers on camera, they help put them in handcuffs. Trilogy Media played a key role in helping federal authorities dismantle a $65 million multinational fraud ring that targeted thousands of elderly Americans, an investigation that led to more than 30 defendants charged and multiple guilty pleas, with the FBI, IRS Criminal Investigation, and U.S. Department of Justice publicly crediting their work. On the ground, the duo has partnered with the Baxter County Sheriff's Office, FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, and many other local police departments on a series of undercover sting operations that have netted arrests of money mules, scammers, and child predators all across America.
Ashton and Art also star in the Fox Nation original series Scammed: Getting Even, a six-episode investigative docuseries that follows the duo as they track, confront, and expose real-life scammers around the world. They have also been featured across top-tier media including Jesse Watters Primetime, Cuomo, TMZ, The Dr. Oz Show, ABC's The Briefing Room, CBS, NBC, Fox 11 News, Good Morning San Diego, and are represented by Alex Czuleger at The Green Room as well as UTA.
Trilogy Media's mission remains the same as it was on day one: to entertain the masses, spread positivity, and relentlessly raise awareness of the sick, vile, and heartbreaking scams that plague our world, while helping bring the people behind them to justice.

HOOD JIGSAW
Editor
I was an editor born out of the gaming space. Through love for both mediums I was able to have a small career in both.
