Over the past two weeks prominent YouTuber Coffeezilla, best known for exposing cryptocurrency scams, released a three-part series covering Logan Paul\u2019s CryptoZoo project and its alleged downfall. Since then, the pair have gone back and forth on social media, trading blows as Paul sought to defend himself amid a wave of backlash. On January 3, the CryptoZoo founder finally responded in full with a seven-minute YouTube video of his own, addressing many of Coffee\u2019s allegations and threatening to sue for not only spreading supposed misinformation, but also for publicizing an \u201cillegal recording\u201d of his manager Jeff Levin. \u201cYou have used my name for views and money,\u201d Paul said. \u201cYour addiction to clicks has clouded your judgment and you\u2019ve made very real errors with very real repercussions. [Coffeezilla has continued] to morph from an investigator to a gossip channel. He is a lopsided journalist with an agenda.\u201d Out of the gate Paul looked to clarify claims surrounding CryptoZoo\u2019s lead developer. In Coffee\u2019s videos he used a simple codename of \u2018Z\u2019 to identify this engineer. Paul revealed his full name to be Zack Kelling, an individual that\u2019s been arrested multiple times. Kelling allegedly \u201clied\u201d about the scope of the crypto project in his conversation with Coffee. According to the older Paul brother, the CryptoZoo team \u201conly had three engineers\u201d working on it, not the 30 Kelling claimed. Next, Paul looked to debunk claims the entire \u2018zoo\u2019 aspect of his crypto project never actually worked. During his investigation, Coffee was informed by one particular investor that those who bought in supposedly couldn\u2019t hatch their eggs to evolve new creators and attempt to grab rare NFTs. \u201cOne second of research would prove that to be false,\u201d Paul hit back. \u201cYou can definitely hatch eggs and even breed your animals.\u201d This confirmation came alongside footage from the project itself, even from others streaming their reactions to various egg openings. Furthermore, Paul went on to threatened legal action against Coffeezilla in light of his alleged misinformation. However, there\u2019s more to the possible court battle than just that. One particular gripe Paul\u2019s team had with the three-part YouTube series was the promotion of an \u201cillegal recording.\u201d During the investigation, Coffee made public a decent chunk of an allegedly private phone call with Paul\u2019s manager Jeff Levin. Paul believes that this broke the law, and so is prepared to take the next step and take legal action against the YouTube detective. \u201cI suggest you use the money from your Patreon to hire a good lawyer, you\u2019re gonna need it. See you in court.\u201d Moments after the video response went live, Coffeezilla took to Twitter once more. Claiming he will issue a more thorough reply in time, he initially looked to focus on a communication hiccup with Paul instead. \u201cLogan accuses me of not reaching out to him directly until Dec 24, 2022\u2026 but doesn\u2019t mention I reached out over a year prior on Instagram.\u201d \u201cIf you expect me to see every DM that comes through from every social media gossip channel trying to make a name for themselves, you\u2019re ridiculous,\u201d Paul soon responded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Logan Paul fires back at Coffeezilla \u201cscam\u201d accusations, threatens legal action YouTube: Logan PaulLogan Paul has finally broken his silence on Coffeezilla\u2019s crypto \u201cscam\u201d accusations surrounding the CryptoZoo project, claiming the YouTube journalist made \u201cvery real errors\u201d and legal action is forthcoming.
