Blackmailed and Doxxed For Telling the Truth - My Response

This is a response to the disgusting blackmail that I've been dealing with for 1 year that Swag Academy stumbled upon and put out on his channel as if it was true a few days ago. To Swag Academy's credit, upon learning that the information was 100% wrong, immediately deleted his video and issued an apology. Because of this, there is no feud between me and Swag Academy. This is not Internet drama, it's a disgusting tactic used by anonymous 'gurus' who are angry that their predatory lies have been exposed. I believe at the end of the day that Swag Academy made an unbelievably stupid error, but that he wouldn't have published the info had he known it was false. He has apologized to my wife and I, and while his initial response was COMPLETELY unwarranted and out of proportion, this is over between myself and him.
The second part of this video is dedicated to the anonymous harassment and blackmail campaign I've been on the receiving end of since early 2020ish, the dates are a bit fuzzy at this point. I've been hunting down the perpetrators of this and have IP logged some of them, received blackmail and other emails suggesting this is the work of some fragile millionaires upset with the work that I do on this channel.

Yes! Coffee, I work in law. If you see this, I suggest you speak to an attorney to talk about the laws in your jurisdiction for defamation. False accusations of crimes and professional incompetence, as seen here, is considered “slander per se” in my state, meaning a statement with those kinds of accusations carries liability by default and you can collect presumed damages (meaning damages that haven’t even happened yet but are “presumed” by law based on the nature of the statements). I think you might have a slam dunk case here. You can do that with ripoff report too since they published those statements and refuse to take them down. It’s fucking extortion.

[@quimblyjones9767]

Coffee, you are doing so much for people, I know for myself I was almost sucked into a scam bit after watching your videos I am more aware of how these things operate. Thank you very much and I hope you stay awesome. Just so you know the difference between blackmail and extortion. Blackmail is when something you've done wrong and it is threatening to be exposed. Extortion is where someone is making up a bunch of bad rumours or lies and "threatening to expose" it. Best of luck mate.

[@goldcd]

Agreed 1) Blackmail is where you've done something wrong/criminal (and somebody is demanding money/favour to keep your act secret) 2) Extortion is where they're threatening to do something wrong/criminal to you (unless you supply money/favour) i.e. If you don't cough up to blackmail, somebody else will hurt you. Don't cough up to Extortion, they'll hurt you.

I fully agree, us fans(and hopefully people researching gurus) aint going no where. Even on the first guy who did have the respect to take the video down. My first thought was simply 'Why would I believe some guy whose entire career is to scam people over Coffee whom from CoffeeBreak to Zilla has shown nothing but decency.' I'm so glad to see Coffee isn't stepping down even an inch. All around a horrible situation and I'm sorry The Coffee family is going through this, and I'm very thankful he let us peer inside. I just hope this doesn't allow fake gurus to attract more desperate people by attacking Coffee's character rather then his points.
