Charles Torres Veitch (born 5 August, 1980) is a British filmmaker, YouTuber and former conspiracy theorist. Veitch was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1980 to a wealthy family in the oil business. He attended Edinburgh Academy, he claims to have received a Master of Arts with honours in philosophy from the University of Edinburgh. He joined the Territorial Army before working at HBOS until the financial crisis made him redundant in 2009, at which point he dedicated himself to full-time filmmaking and protesting. Veitch was a former prominent figure among Britain's conspiracy theorists where he was recognized as a 9/11 "truther". In 2013, Veitch went on the BBC's ''9/11 Conspiracy Road Trip'' and later confessed he no longer believed 9/11 was faked by the United States government. His decision to denounce the 9/11 conspiracy theories drew backlash from prominent conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones and David Icke. He also received death threats. In recent years, Veitch has been noted for his walking tour themed YouTube videos.
