Also that amazing post from a victim of TV Death Squad that let us know he got HIV and went to jail and thanking us for hating him. heart


What are the chances that over a year later, someone would bump this post and i would get to read this???

Seriously,  y'all are the best people!!!

Omg, i just had an amazing idea. If I'm able to raise the money i need for marty's deposition, my lawyer gets to ask him anything. Any question i want. I may just have to have him asked "do you know the entire chip tunes community hates you?" And "How does it make you feel to know that this deposition was paid for, in part, by donations from the chip tunes community?"

The thought of this makes me fucking giddy.

Thank you all! I am pretty much expecting that he's going to be released very soon. I joked with the detective about how they needed to raid his house too because no doubt they could have got him for having pot too, so he may have actually served real time.

once again I'm blown away by your community. I received $200 because of this post. Thank you so much!!!

We scheduled my deposition for july 20th, where i will be forced to sit across a table from marty for up to 6 hours while his lawyer attempts to slut shame me. I'm hoping to be able to raise the money by then so that we can immediately turn around and depose him.

I'll keep you updated.

I'm not sure if this is allowed, but i need help and I thought that maybe y'all would be interested.

Many of you might remember Tv Death Squad when he (marty kraham) was caught blatantly plagiarizing someone else's music. That was back in '09. Some of you may also remember a discussion here about 3 years ago when he was arrested for knowingly engaging in conduct with the intent to spread HIV.

I  joined this form under a different account at that time and thanked you all for the discussion i had read.  It had been the only discussion i had come across where the victims weren't being blamed. Still to this day i can't begin to explain how much that means to me,  as one of his victims. 

I came back about a year ago to update you, under this account, about him pleading guilty and his sentencing.

At this time, i need help. Even if all you do simply click this link and read my story i would greatly appreciate it. I do not mention marty by name in the story in the link, but it is about him and the on going civil case against him since the criminal justice system failed (yes he was convicted, but he only spent 4 months in prison and is already at a half way house type place that is 1 mile away from where his wife lives).

you guys have no idea how proud he was of that before he got "caught". i didn't really pay much attention when he talked about "his" music, but this was during the peak of the time i spent with him. he showed me all of these videos and talked about how awesome and well liked in the chiptunes community he was. i had no idea about any of his drama within the community until i found out about his HIV status and went digging through the internet. at first all i had was the word of a woman i didn't know at all, his ex wife, telling me he had HIV. That verses a man i had loved and cared about for years. it was hard to just fully believe her at first. but through searching both his name and "tv death squad" i found stuff about his plagiarism and posts on an HIV positive community message board with the screen name of "tv death squad" saying like "hi, i'm marty and i'm looking for other positive people in the OKC area" or something like that along with links to his myspace and his "music".

From your blog:

"That’s when I start to draw conclusions about the guy. Probably a bit of a stoner. Basement dweller who lived a little too long with his parents and got a little too much for free. A guy with too much aspiration and dreams of fame, and too little inspiration and skill to match up. A guy who can afford to buy a bunch of effect and noise boxes and video game consoles but doesn’t have a clue how to use them for music, but still don’t want make a fool out of himself in front of his family, friends and fans.".

oh man, let me know tell you how right you are (except for one thing)!! in the 2 years he and i were "seeing" each other, i never once saw him not high. the part that's wrong is about his parents basement and here's why, his parents are loaded. LOADED. and has always set him up with a place to live. Until he was arrested and sued he was listed on a trust fund with his 4 older brothers (he's the baby!) worth well over a million dollars. after he was sued, they removed him from the trust. But between his parents' businesses and other properties they're worth over 30 million. Previous to this arrest he has been pulled into police stations dozens of times due to drug offenses but has never once been actually charged with anything due to both his parents money and his willingness to snitch on his friends and throw them under the bus. He's never been held accountable for anything in his life and he's always had everything handed to him. i've talked to several people who were once very close to him and think he's responsible for much worse crimes. I have zero doubt that his parents money have once again been responsible for him not getting the punishment he justly deserves. the system is totally corrupt.

Also with the risk of being the bearer of bad news... I got an e-mail from one of his victims in 2014, mentioning he also had a hep c infection. For anyone who had sex with him seeing this, who thought it was just the HIV, you may want to get screened for hep c as well.


That was probably me. Trust me, we all know about his hep C as well. It's how we know he couldn't have been on antiretrovirals the entire time. he has to teeter totter his medication, so at any given time he could transfer either hiv or hep c, which ever one he's not taking meds for at that time.

So about 2 years ago Martin Kraham, the guy behind the infamous tv death squad was arrested. I found a post here about him as i was searching for all the news stories. i joined and thanked this community for the response you all had. (http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/15047 … thank-you/)

Anyways, i wanted to share an update with you all. i couldn't remember the password or email address for the account i made 2 years ago, So i had to make a new account.

The whole experience was super fucked. the system sucks and is retraumatizing. i don't think he got enough time. i don't think anyone really advocates for victims within the justice system but it's over. but man, honestly, from what i've learned about this man over the last 2 1/2 years, stealing other people's music and trying to spread hiv are maybe some of his more finer qualities. He's fucking scary.
