Logan Paul, a name synonymous with internet fame, has recently found himself in the eye of a legal fiasco. The YouTube sensation turned crypto enthusiast is suing Stephen Findeisen, better known as Coffeezilla, for defamation. The bone of contention? A series of videos on Paul’s failed non-fungible token (NFT) project, CryptoZoo. Can’t get over the fact that Logan Paul subscribed to my Patreon, advertised it on his main channel, said he admired my “work ethic” & “creativity”, and then said he’s suing me. https://t.co/eYB57EIHgQ pic.twitter.com/8guq428rtM — Coffeezilla (@coffeebreak_YT) January 4, 2023 Logan Paul vs. Coffeezilla’s Defamation Duel Background CryptoZoo, an ambitious NFT game, was launched with much fanfare in 2022. The game allowed players to buy NFT “eggs” using the game’s token, ZOO. However, the project hit a roadblock, and accusations of it being a scam started to surface. Hey Logan, was promising $1.8 million in refunds to CryptoZoo victims, and 6 months later not paying "another masterclass in marketing"? Asking for all the people who got scammed by you and the criminals you hired. https://t.co/wRS4yE24Jb — Coffeezilla (@coffeebreak_YT) June 29, 2023 Coffeezilla, a YouTuber famed for his financial fraud exposés, released three videos calling CryptoZoo “Logan Paul’s biggest scam.” He accused Paul of defrauding his fans by pocketing the money of NFT holders without delivering the rest of the promised project.

He claims that Coffeezilla purposefully omitted information in his videos that proved Paul was “deeply committed” to CryptoZoo’s success. According to Paul, he was “deceived by several of the project’s trusted advisers who turned out to be conmen.” The Lawsuit In response, Logan Paul filed a defamation lawsuit against Coffeezilla. The lawsuit, filed on Thursday, June 27, 2024, in a San Antonio, Texas District Court, states that Findeisen “maliciously and repeatedly [published] false statements accusing Paul of operating a scam in connection with a troubled blockchain project called CryptoZoo.” Paul is seeking damages over $75,000 plus interest and lawyer fees. The plot thickens as Paul shifts the blame for the project’s failure onto Eduardo “Eddie” Ibanez and Jake Greenbaum. Paul accuses Ibanez of being a “charlatan” who lied about his credentials and Greenbaum, an adviser, of being more interested in personal profit than creating a legitimate project. Why It Matters This legal battle highlights the intersection of celebrity influence, NFTs, and due diligence. Investors need to be cautious when diving into the NFT space, as not all projects are equal. Coffeezilla’s critique serves as a reminder to thoroughly research any crypto project before investing.

我无法接受这样一个事实：Logan Paul 订阅了我的 Patreon，在他的主频道上做广告，说他钦佩我的“职业道德”和“创造力”，然后说他要起诉我。https://t.co/eYB57EIHgQ pic.twitter.com/8guq428rtM

Logan Paul 与 Coffeezilla 的诽谤对决
背景
2022 年，雄心勃勃的 NFT 游戏 CryptoZoo 推出并引发了广泛关注。该游戏允许玩家使用游戏代币 ZOO 购买 NFT“蛋”。然而，该项目遇到了障碍，人们开始指责它是骗局。
嘿，Logan，你承诺向 CryptoZoo 受害者退款 180 万美元，但六个月后却没有支付“另一场营销大师班”的费用？我要为所有被你和你雇佣的罪犯骗过的人讨回公道。https://t.co/wRS4yE24Jb

Coffeezilla 是一位以揭露金融欺诈行为而闻名的 YouTuber，他发布了三段视频，称 CryptoZoo 是“Logan Paul 最大的骗局”。他指责 Paul 欺骗粉丝，骗取 NFT 持有者的钱财，却没有兑现承诺项目的其余部分。

另一方面，保罗坚决否认这些指控。他声称 Coffeezilla 故意在视频中省略了信息，而这些信息可以证明保罗“深深致力于” CryptoZoo 的成功。保罗说，他“被该项目的几位可信赖的顾问欺骗了，而这些顾问原来都是骗子。”
诉讼
作为回应，洛根·保罗对 Coffeezilla 提起了诽谤诉讼。该诉讼于 2024 年 6 月 27 日星期四在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥地方法院提起，称 Findeisen“恶意并反复 [发布] 虚假陈述，指控保罗在陷入困境的区块链项目 CryptoZoo 中实施诈骗”。保罗要求赔偿 75,000 多美元，外加利息和律师费。
随着保罗将项目失败的责任推到爱德华多“埃迪”伊巴涅斯和杰克格林鲍姆身上，情节变得更加复杂。保罗指责伊巴涅斯是个“骗子”，谎报自己的资历，而顾问格林鲍姆更关心个人利益而不是创建一个合法的项目。
为什么重要
这场法律纠纷凸显了名人影响力、NFT 和尽职调查之间的交集。投资者在涉足 NFT 领域时需要谨慎，因为并非所有项目都一样。Coffeezilla 的批评提醒投资者在投资任何加密项目之前要彻底研究。
