However, the YouTuber was then stunned after hearing the box may not be authentic \u2014 essentially meaning Paul would\u2019ve lost $3.5M. A video from Logan on January 13 finally put the conspiracies to rest, as he met with vintage card authenticators BBCE who originally certified that the box was real. As it turns out, the box was indeed fake and filled with G.I Joe cards. Now, popular Twitch streamer PaymoneyWubby has reacted to Logan\u2019s video and explained how the \u201cstupid\u201d situation could\u2019ve been simply been avoided. In a video uploaded on January 20, Twitch star Dennis \u2018PaymoneyWubby\u2018 Richardson explained how the \u201cstupid\u201d and \u201ccrazy\u201d situation could\u2019ve all been avoided. \u201cI have purchased six-figure sealed boxes of vintage cards in the past,\u201d PaymoneyWubby revealed. \u201cI have boxes that I own that could be fake, but here are my two takes: Why is there a company authenticating a cardboard box like this? \u201cHere\u2019s who I blame more than anything though: everyone who has purchased this box is stupid. Why would you not have some sort of deal where I will purchase this, but we have to open it on camera, determine it\u2019s legit, and then seal it on camera? I\u2019m so baffled by that.\u201d Wubby added: \u201cWhy would you buy a $3.5 million box of cardboard? What blows my mind too, you didn\u2019t even need to do all of that. You could have weighed this box because I know the G.I. Joe cards don\u2019t weigh as much as the Pokemon cards. It would have been so far off you\u2019d know instantly. This is so stupid.\u201d \u201cBecause it\u2019s all probably fake Wubby,\u201d said one viewer in his chat. \u201cWell maybe so, but it\u2019s fake at the sacrifice of the company. That\u2019s crazy.\u201d Logan Paul was accused of faking the $3.5M box scandal but has since denied those claims, insisting that \u201cit\u2019s not fake at all.\u201d After this situation, Logan will likely be more cautious when purchasing his next box.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PaymoneyWubby explains why Logan Paul\u2019s fake Pokemon card scam was \u201cso stupid\u201d Twitch streamer PaymoneyWubby has explained how Logan Paul\u2019s $3.5M \u20181st Edition Base Set\u2019 Pokemon box scam could\u2019ve all been avoided and how it was \u201cso stupid.\u201d In December 2021, Logan Paul revealed he\u2019d purchased a box of 1st Edition Base Set Pokemon cards [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57080","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57080","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57080"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57080\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57080"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
