Logan Paul denies claims he faked $3.5m Pokemon card scandal for content The Pokemon Company \/ YouTube: Logan PaulLogan Paul denied claims that he faked the $3.5m Pokemon card box scandal for YouTube content, insisting that \u201cit\u2019s not fake at all\u201d and the whole thing left him feeling \u201cincredibly sad\u201d. In December 2021, Logan thought he struck gold after dropping $3.5 million on a 1st Edition Base Set of Pokemon cards. At the time, he claimed it was \u201csealed and authenticated.\u201d However, that wasn\u2019t the case. Pokemon card collectors suspected that the box might be fake. Not only was it unusually numbered, but it was also verified by a smaller company with little experience. Logan looked into it and confirmed that it was indeed fake. Rather than being filled with Pokemon cards, it had G.I Joe cards instead. The man who sold it to him also had no idea they were fake. He reimbursed Logan in full and vowed to track down the scammers he bought it from. Logan released a YouTube video about it, leading some people to suspect that he may have faked the whole scandal for content. However, during a recent episode of the IMPAULSIVE Podcast, he denied those claims. \u201cI see comments. They think I was acting. They think it\u2019s fake,\u201d Logan said. \u201cBut it\u2019s not. It\u2019s not fake at all. Being in that room that night was incredibly sad. The energy and the tragic feeling in the room was so palpable. \u201cThree and a half million dollars on f**king G.I Joe,\u201d he added. \u201cI cannot believe it. It was a sad day. That was a very sad day. You can\u2019t just scam someone out of millions of dollars like that without legal consequences.\u201d Logan has since learned that there seems to be a whole syndicate of people doing it. He believes they made a mistake by scamming him, though, because now their shady practices have been exposed to the public. He also revealed that he\u2019s helping the man who sold the box to him track down the scammers. \u201cHe\u2019s chasing his 2.7 million. We\u2019re helping him. We\u2019re trying to get all the information we can. People have suggested making a documentary out of it.\u201d In the end, Logan has written the whole thing off as a loss. \u201cIt\u2019s an L, and I\u2019m not afraid to say it\u2019s a fat f**king L.\u201d However, it hasn\u2019t stopped him from winning big elsewhere. He launched a new sports drink called Prime Hydration with former rival KSI, and it sold out almost instantly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
