Logan Paul Responds After NFT Scam Blows Up Threatening…

Logan Paul has finally broken his silence regarding Coffeezilla’s videos, accusing him of scamming people with his CryptoZoo project. But in his response, pretty much all he does is try to discredit the internet detective, shift the blame onto the people HE hired, and simply not take responsibility at all.

Over the past couple of weeks, Coffeezilla, a YouTuber known for exposing crypto scams, released his three-part series examining Logan Paul’s NFT project CryptoZoo.

After much back-and-forth on social media, Logan finally released his response video, addressing the claims made by the internet detective, or more like trying to discredit Coffeezilla and shift the blame onto the people he employed.

Logan Paul fires back at Coffeezilla and threatens legal action

The video pretty much starts already with Logan trying to discredit Coffeezilla (like, a lot!) by accusing him of using his name for views and money, claiming he’s not a reliable source of information and doesn’t do his research properly, even twist the facts in this case.

Kind of strange, because Logan himself praised him for his work ethic and his good content not too long ago, and doesn’t really support those claims with any evidence.

Further into his video, he addresses the allegations regarding the lead developer of CryptoZoo, Zack Kelling, who apparently stole the source code and fled to Switzerland demanding $1 million.

Logan says that during the interview with the Internet detective, Kelling lied about the scope of the crypto project. Kelling claimed he had 30 engineers working on the project, which Logan declares to be untrue.

Logan also goes into more detail about Kelling, who has apparently been arrested multiple times, suggesting that Coffeezilla tried to hide that fact by keeping him anonymous during the interview.

Although it seems a little hypocritical to criticize Coffeezilla for this, as he was the one who hired Kelling for the project, Logan is quick to shift the blame for this onto another well-known fraudster named Eddie Ibanez.

Kind of funny how he accused Coffeezilla of not doing research while admitting to hiring MULTIPLE scammers/swindlers in the same sentence.

Logan Paul accusing Coffeezilla of not doing research while admitting he hired several criminals and scammers for his crypto team has got to be the funniest thing ever.

Logan says he trusted Ibanez, who turned out to be a professional fraud who “conned billionaires, the Mormon Church [and] the owner of the New York Yankees,” as Coffeezilla pointed out in one of his videos.

Instead of proving Logan’s point, this makes him look really inept, as he was the one who hired several con artists such as Eddie Ibanez, but also a person named Jake, the Crypto-King (a well-known con artist).

His manager Jeff claimed they confirmed Eddie’s qualifications, but looking back, this apparently wasn’t true at all.

There were a bunch of other things Coffeezilla said, which Logan claims were just patently false, like the game doesn’t work at all. But let’s continue with him threatening legal action against the internet detective.

This is related to the alleged misinformation Coffeezilla spreads with its videos.

Whether that is actually true will have to be decided in court, but there is also the topic of an “illegal recording” used in the three-part YouTube series.

During the investigation, Coffeezilla recorded an allegedly private phone conversation with Paul’s manager Jeff Levin, apparently breaking the law by doing so.

Paul seems prepared to prosecute the internet detective, saying: “I suggest you use the money from your Patreon to hire a good lawyer, you’re going to need it. See you in court.”

One of the statements Logan made criticizing Coffeezilla for was not reaching out directly to him.

However, Coffeezilla was quick to refute this, showing text messages and emails he sent to Logan for a response:

Logan Paul replied. TL; DW
0 excuses
0 addresses victims
0 accountability
I will respond in full when I organize my thoughts, but for now, Logan accuses me of not contacting him directly until December 24th, 2022…but fails to mention that I reached out over a year earlier on Instagram. pic.twitter.com/5AfEfDXFwj

The back and forth continued, as Logan stated that he cannot pay attention to all “social media gossip channels”, but was quickly called out for his lack of accountability by fellow content creator Ludwig Ahgren.

wait but he reached out and you know he talked to your manager

at what point do you take responsibility

hugely disappointed by your ad hominem and straw man video

do you think you didn’t screw anything up? like you were just VERY unlucky? what was a mistake YOU made?

All in all, it seems that Logan took on a project he was unprepared for, was inept at hiring enough people, and now that his project crashed, shows a lack of accountability and compassion for those affected.
