In January 2023, YouTuber CoffeeZilla exposed the controversial CryptoZoo project backed by Logan Paul, leading to a class-action lawsuit against Paul and other celebrities involved in promoting the project. Recently, Paul announced a $2.3 million refund plan for those who purchased CryptoZoo NFTs, with a condition that they waive their right to sue him.

However, the refund only applies to NFT holders who haven't used their NFTs to create hybrid animals in the game, leaving $ZOO token holders without compensation. Paul claims he didn't profit from the project and has taken legal action against two team members for attempting a rugpull. The CryptoZoo game is now confirmed to be dead due to "regulatory hurdles" and other factors.
