Wanting to avoid using Google or any AI service online, I want to ask if I could get some help translating my English post into German as I want to use this as an excuse to motivate me into learning German.

Anyways the text I want to learn how to translate is:

Roman aka Der8auer, owner/founder of Thermal Grizzly products, got scammed out of €40.000 by placing raw material orders in China and has made this video to alert people to be more aware that these kinds of situations can happen.

Is aka (Also Known As) alis?
What's the differneces in: Unternehmer Geschäftsinhaber Geschäftseigentümer?

aka == alias, yes. You can also use the long form "auch bekannt als".

Geschäftseigentümer is not really used, the other two are more common. Geschäftsinhaber would be someone who really owns a company, while an Unternehmer holds a stake, no matter how large, in one or more companies.

Thanks for the translation help!🙌

As Der8auer, alis Roman, actually does own his company I'll use Geschäftsinhaber.
