So I know I already made a thread like this , but I still didn't get the advice/responses I needed.

Basically I did a deal with one of my classmates which induldged in account sharing in 2018. The deal was that if I could get him up 1,000 subscribers on his account to a certain date , he would give me a playstation 50$ giftcard. I also stupidly shared my account which resulted in a long term mistake until I recovered it. Im not too sure on why I shared it , since this was in 2018 but I think it was because atm my parents wouldn't allow me to monetize my channel , so he said he would help me get monetized and send money to my house. I was growing at the time and had 1,000 subs(now I have 3k). The deal was basically I get him 1k subs , he gives me a giftcard and we switch back our accounts.Later did I not know he would betray/scam me and also want to upload videos that I didn't want on my channel and make money off that. So it took me mutiple months to find a way to get his channel to 1,000 subs , but I finally did with sub4sub , but I felt insecure because I just didn't want to share accounts anymore and wanted to get the deal done with. He didn't give the giftcard he promised because he never taught I would get 1k subs , until I did and told me to wait. But I just wanted to get the deal done with because it was taking too long and it seemed like he wanted to make something out of my channel , which I didn't approve of.

So I just changed my info and decided to stop sharing , he tricked me into giving my pass to my account because he said that he needed to get his bank account info off and I could change my account , I was hesistating to know If I could trust him or not , but I should've trust my gut. He changed all my info , recovery info/pass. And I had to contact google support to get it back.

So I have my account , he has his account with 1k subs , and I never got my giftcard(basically scammed).

But my account is luckily recoverd now , the problem is he made an adsense account with my youtube channel and I can't monetize my channel because of that. If I wanted to close the adsense associated with my youtube channel, I would need to get into his email and close his account which is not ethical.

I noticed that my email linked with the channel somehow also had an adsense account , I was able to close that. The main problem is that his email is the main adsense account which is linked with my youtube channel , I would need to close that and need to convince him to verify a pin and go through a mess. But I don't want to contact him because were basically enemies after this situation.

He even threatened me and I had to contact the principle/police.

So what should I do , I want to monetize my channel but can't since he already made one with my youtube channel which is linked to his gmail.

Im thinking maybe since I got him to 1k subs and if he can't acheive 4k watch hours , he can maybe replace my youtube channel with his?
but then I feel like he'll sign both of our channels up.
 
change the email of the current channel and sign up to adsense through it?

I think I tried something like that , but it said "you already have an existing adsense account"

which is my ex-friend who signed my channel up to an adsense
 
no, change your channel's email first, then apply for monetization with the new email

Why don't you make a new account and channel? Since you got the subs from a network which wont be active anyway, it does not make much difference. Make a new channel instead of wasting time getting your old channel back with adsense.

I have my old channel(not really that) , its good/recovered and everything.
The thing is that I can't really open an adsense account tho
because my ex-friend(now enemy) signed up to adsense with my youtube url and everything
his bank account details and everything are on there

Then tell Google support the situation and ask them to unlink the account.
 
Then search for their "contact us" or GSuite.

Actually theres a tiny bit of good news but idk if that'll help my situtation. But I was able to sign the youtube channel to a different adsense account with a different email. Not too sure if it'll get accepted though and saying anything about the other account that was linked
