Logan Paul finally launches CryptoZoo website to refund NFT buyers YouTube; ABC NewsYouTube star Logan Paul has finally launched a website to refund buyers of his CryptoZoo NFT\u2019s, and says he\u2019s filed a lawsuit to hold \u201cbad actors\u201d responsible for \u201cderailing\u201d the infamous project. In August 2021, YouTube star-turned-WWE heel Logan Paul announced he was launching a crypto-coin-based game called \u2018CryptoZoo,\u2019 where players could collect, breed, and trade animal \u2018hybrids\u2019 as NFTs. However, his project soon came under fire as critics accused him of \u201cripping off\u201d Adobe stock images for the hybrid animals \u2014 but that paled in comparison to the backlash that ensued after his highly-anticipated game failed to launch. After an explosive public argument with investigative YouTuber Coffeezilla, Paul announced a $1.3 million refund program for those who\u2019d invested in the project in a January 2023 YouTube video. A year later, it seems that Paul is finally making good on his promise, as detailed in a lengthy post on Twitter\/X on January 4, 2024. Logan Paul files lawsuit against \u201cbad actors\u201d in CryptoZoo scandal In his post, Paul announced that he\u2019s launched a buyback website where fans can submit a form to receive a refund for their Base Egg and Base Animal CryptoZoo NFTs for their \u201coriginal purchase price.\u201d These forms can be submitted through February 8. Paul also claimed that he has actually lost money on the CryptoZoo project, saying he is \u201cpersonally committing more than $2.3 million to buy back Base Eggs and Base Animals from every person who intended to play CryptoZoo.\u201d That\u2019s not all; Paul even went on to say that he is filing a lawsuit against the \u201cbad actors\u201d who \u201cderailed\u201d his CryptoZoo project. Paul linked out to the 25-page suit in a Google Drive file, which he made public for all to see. \u201cThis lawsuit is the result of an exhaustive investigation that included the review of the entirety of conversations and tracking nefarious trading activity related to the project,\u201d he wrote. \u201cNefarious trading activity taken behind our backs, without our knowledge, and with the intention of defrauding us all.\u201d The YouTuber then confirmed that CryptoZoo would not be launching, putting an end to this chapter that has haunted him with accusations of \u201cscamming\u201d fans for years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
