It's really annoying that Logan has gotten away with rewriting history around the forest. They didn't stumble across it- they looked for it. They went off the path and kept talking about what they would (excitedly) do if they found a body. Their guide tried multiple times to get them to stop wandering. And when he found what he was looking for- he zoomed in on the face and hands and used the photo of the man swinging as his thumbnail. Logan wanted all of that to happen. He thought it was cool. He has never changed. He has always been a self serving man whose out of touch with reality and only cares about fame. That's it. There isn't more to this. He just sucks.

It's kind of telling how Paul, when talking about his "Japan episode" And the subsequent redemption, he calls himself "probably the most hated man in the world." Even when he's talking about how bad his reputation was, he can't resist being the most bad. He ignores all of the murderers, serial killers, R-wordists, child um mistreatmenters, and everything else that KZbin will delete my comment for actually saying properly... he has to be the worst of the worst or the best of the best. He can't be mediocre at anything LOL. Runkle is right; this lawsuit is just his memoirs and advertisement for himself. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@Sabarok]

What's funny is that he's saying Coffeezilla is legally liable because he "should have known" that Paul wasn't involved in the scam, but Paul himself is not legally liable because he didn't know the scam was happening. He attacks Coffeezilla for "making money" on KZbin views as motive for his actions, while the millions Paul made on the scam had no bearing whatsoever on his own actions. I think Paul is projecting quite a bit into this frivolous lawsuit.

[@JayeEllis]

Point well made.

[@davidgoodnow269]

I thought it was repeatedly said in this video that Logan Paul made no financial gains through this, and in fact he is offering people some measure of reimbursement from his existing ongoing revenue streams -- which logic says cap the amount of reimbursement he can offer -- and he simply isn't offering to refund the full amount that people were competitively offering for popular NFTs? Since they presumably *_retain_* those NFTs, unless they sell them, then there's no objective harm. Any NFT is fundamentally _worthless!_ I don't think I have ever heard of "Logan Paul" before, and while I have seen "Coffezilla" in KZbin titles before, I have _definitely_ no knowledge that such an entity existed. I always thought it was a derivative of "bridezilla," referring to people in general who are irrascible without coffee! So definitely no dog in this fight.

I think the better analogy would be, just because you gave your buddies all the access codes to the bank and then they robbed it, you are just as responsible (if not more) for the robbery whether or not you got any money out of it. The robbery never would have happened if you didn't just give people the pass codes. Logan Paul created Crypto Zoo he negligently decided who would have access to his fanbase's money. If you cut Logan Paul out of the situation, the Crypto Zoo scam wouldn't have ever happened.

[@cleverlyblonde]

Worse, he subcontracted the building to a guy he had been scammed by before and another person who someone told his manager was shady but chose to ignore, then showed surprise pikachu face when they absconded with the building materials, and so claims to you that it is unfair for you to be mad at him because he himself lost money on the project. Even though the contract you entered into was with him...

People rarely mention that this wasn't the first project that Logan worked with Crypto King on. He also worked with him when he was into Pokemon cards. Which had some shadiness involved with it too. Collectables Guru and Crypto King are the same person. So Logan can't really use the excuse that he didn't know the dude was shady.

Saying someone pulled a 'Scam' is not a legally binding remark, it's a subjective sensation as to whether a person feels the goods or services are of adequate value to the cost incurred in obtaining them; ie, these massages are a scam, they don't even include a happy ending; the pizza topping fees are a scam, you barely get any pepperoni. This isn't to say that it's illegal, just that you don't think it's justified. To say that what Logan Paul did was a 'Scam' isn't to say he's guilty of fraud, but to subjectively submit that the value he promises is not reflected in the product or service he was offering, that is Crypto-Zoo, which as far as I know, to date, still does not work as forecast.

Well 2024 is the FAFO year. I guess 2025 will be the year we lie about 2024. Thanks Ian for covering!

[@GamesFromSpace]

Wouldn't the full refund have been about the same cost as a difficult lawsuit?

[@Captain_Draco]

I hope Coffeezilla successfully sues his insurance company. At the very least have every penny in fees, plus interest, refunded.

[@GlutenEruption]

I doubt he'd get anywhere with that, the best way to go and the way everyone is telling him to go is to file a claim against his brokers errors and omissions insurance policy- he specifically asked for defamation policies and the broker sold him a policy which explicitly didn't cover defamation and claimed he didn't realize it because he didn't read the entire policy. That's 100% on him and his e&o should cover it

[@lastplacemotorsport8510]

Logan seems to be omitting the part where they all agreed to and conducted a "stealth launch" so they could all buy up tonnes of tokens at a fraction of the price... Him saying he didn't make any money off the "project" is only because others sold their tokens before he could sell his tokens.

[@tonyharding3013]

The Sports drink - He is being taken to court by the US Olympic committee for infringement of copyright for using the Olympic rings and calling sport starts Olympians without permission. Strange to bring up another scam while trying to make out this is not a scam.

[@shewearsfunnyhat]

In my opinion it was a scam and Logan is part of the scam. Zoo tokens and eggs were sold. People would be told they would be getting a game to use these items in. The game was never delivered and there has been no effort to offer everyone who bought tokens and eggs a refund. The current refund offer is very limited and only covers eggs.

[@user-mv5zt8qd9l]

The refund scheme also, dubiously, makes people essentially sign a waiver to say that they won't pursue legal action about the scam, if what I've been told is right.

US Dems have tried putting forth legislation for a federal anti-SLAPP, but it hasn’t gone anywhere, unfortunately. most recently, rep. jamie raskin (D) introduced a bill in 2022. it was referred to subcommittee in november 2022, but hasn’t had any movement since.

[@Uryvichk]

Hearing "holder" over and over in the filings is really funny given how immediately the mind prepends "bag" to that title.

[@Satarack]

I know plaintiff's get to tell their life's story in their lawsuit's background section, but honestly a recitation of the Paul brothers drama isn't relevant when the statements Coffeezilla made were incredibly laser focused on specific promises Logan Paul made to donors of Cryptozoo, which he didn't fulfill.

[@larrywest42]

I think you underestimate how important it is to Logan Paul to hear/read praise of himself.

[@larrywest42]

[@user-mv5zt8qd9l]

It's probably an attempt by Logan to address and "debunk" it before Coffee's lawyers inevitably bring it up to demonstrate how his reputation was already a sham prior to the CryptoZoo fiasco.

[@CptJistuce]

In before Logan Paul sues Runkle!

[@OuryLN]

Doesn’t the Pirate Lawyer filing a case action suit also against Joke Paul?

[@Ellie-rx3jt]

Yes

[@SabertoothedTiger69]

Logan's reputation was ruined for me forever after Japan. I'm not sure if I heard about his House of Harassment before or after Coffeezilla. But when I saw the mere thumbnail when it came out, I said "yeah. That checks out" and watched it because I like bad people getting exposed

[@kittyninja9571]

Globally recognised is way excessive. Thanks Runkle

[@larrywest42]

28:10 Paul is arguing that he would never start off on a plan without thinking through the consequences. Whoever wrote this part should read the earlier (self-serving) section about how Paul had to pull the ghost forest video.

[@MissingmyBabbu]

Now in Paul's defense he DID make a full plan while thinking of consequences in that Japan video. It's just that his plan was ALWAYS to find a corpse (why else would he wander off the trails against advice of a guide, gleefully giggling all the while about what he would do 'if' he found a body?), and he thought the 'consequences' would be internet fame and loads of clicks and adrev from his moronic fans. He was wrong, but he DID plan it.

[@sylvainmichaud2262]

A great example of the Streisand effect.

[@nicotti]

Don't forget that The Olympics are suing Prime for using their trademarks without permission.

[@Draphia]

You know what Liquid market sounds like? Those gold certificates. Scamzz Mcgee is totally holding that gold/nft for you! Then he goes overseas.

[@CluelessClozie]

I needed to say how much I love your thumbnail! 😂

[@MegaMech]

"The blowback was swift and relentless" was it though? No criminal charges were pressed, his KZbin channel wasn't permanently banned (iirc, it took like a week before youtube did anything but I could be misremembering). Like, Paul should simply be permanently banned from youtube. He should not have a job as a youtuber anymore just like how I dunno, a police officer caught in corruption should never be a cop anymore. Not to mention a week later paul uploaded a video of him zapping a rat. In the scheme of things, idc about this event, but it shows a lack of character, and a lack of personal change.

[@cleverlyblonde]

The PrimeOfficial youtube channel has a video of Logan Paul and KSI drowning the world with prime. In the video, a japanese business man jumps off the roof of an office building but is saved by landing in prime. I mean... He is hosting this video on the youtube channel. The video feels like a parody of them.

[@MegaMech]

@@cleverlyblonde Wow, so tasteless.

[@rissahoo]

I think it’s pretty well understood that when you’re the public face of an exciting new project, you are also the public face of the scam it turns out to be. Also, Coffeezilla didn’t accuse Logan of conceiving the idea as a scam from the outset, he accused him of failing to do due diligence before attaching his name to it and hyping it up. Coffezilla didn’t focus on Logan to increase his own clout - he focused on Logan because LOGAN HAS DONE THIS BEFORE (and since), and he wanted people to stop putting their trust in him.

[@NoelBarry-om9ms]

Coffeezilla should be America's cyber crime attorney.

[@These_Old_Engines]

I think Logan got scammed before he could scam his fans.... I think the crypto king rug pulled Logan and the fans, tanking the value before Logan could rug pull his fans.

[@haharrison7]

I expect this to be dropped before any embarrassing discovery can happen.

[@Marndarrr]

Logan Paul and every person caught doing something stupid on bodycam: “Why would I do that? It makes no sense!”

[@Tye-Dyed]

The way I see it is that Logan Paul is walking, talking gross negligence when he chooses what "businesses" to finance or advertise for.

[@eternal8song]

"So if you ever played Neopets," fucking killed me.

[@guitarforlife238]

Am I watching the son of Elrond talk about a crypto scam right now??

[@7Lil7Boo7]

at least you're using the term insanity in a proper context, as it only applies in a legal sense

[@Annie1962]

He's also being sued by the IOC for using the word 'Olympic' and an Olympian on his cans.. nuh uh, nope big no no.

[@AdalizMColon]

RUNKLE! Missed seeing your face! The KZbin algorithm wasn't suggesting your videos, I think, because lately it's been dominated by the US elections cycle. Thanks for giving your take on this. I feel for Coffee, I feel Logan did this to waste Coffee's time, money and energy.

[@ShockwaveDawn]

Is this a lawsuit or a memoir?...

[@ininja32]

Oh, Dink Donk, that was a HUGE flop.
