Highlights

As a seasoned observer of internet drama and a long-time follower of both Coffeezilla and Logan Paul, I can’t help but feel like I’ve stumbled upon the latest episode of a never-ending reality show. The saga of CryptoZoo has been nothing short of captivating, with twists and turns that would put even the most skilled screenwriters to shame.

Responding to a defamation lawsuit filed by popular YouTube personality Logan Paul in June, Coffeezilla (real name Stephen Findeisen) has issued a statement. The lawsuit was triggered by a series of critical videos about Paul’s CryptoZoo project, which raised concerns about the authenticity and financial handling of the project. These videos were produced under the online alias, Coffeezilla.

In September 2021, YouTube personality Logan Paul introduced CryptoZoo, an innovative cryptocurrency-based game. However, this project received harsh criticism from Coffeezilla who argued that it was hastily terminated, with many essential features not working properly and substantial financial losses for investors. Moreover, he alleged internal disputes and financial mismanagement within the CryptoZoo team. At first, Paul reacted defensively, but later apologized for his initial response. In June 2024, Paul filed a lawsuit against Coffeezilla, charging him with spreading false information and omitting facts about Paul’s attempts to rectify the issues in CryptoZoo. Paul claimed that Coffeezilla’s actions were designed to boost his own reputation, even though Logan Paul had planned a buyback program worth over $1 million to address the problems within CryptoZoo.

Over a month later, Coffeezilla responded with a 20-minute YouTube video titled “Logan Paul Sued Me.” In the video, Coffeezilla addresses Logan Paul’s lawsuit with a detailed critique, asserting that the lawsuit is a strategic move to “silence” him rather than address legitimate grievances. According to Coffeezilla, Logan’s lawsuit is not focused on the original investigation but rather on two specific videos and one tweet where Coffeezilla advocated for complete refunds for CryptoZoo investors. Coffeezilla argues that Logan Paul has only refunded a small portion of the CryptoZoo losses, specifically the NFTs, while continuing to contest the remaining claims in court.

Coffeezilla Accuses Logan Paul of Using Lawsuit to Block Investigations

Furthermore, Coffeezilla stated that he contacted Logan Paul prior to the CryptoZoo defamation legal action being initiated, regarding a potential new probe into Liquid Marketplace – a firm jointly owned by Logan, which has lately been implicated in “multi-layered fraud” allegations by the Canadian administration. Coffeezilla implies that the lawsuit’s timing, coinciding with his inquiry, might have been tactically planned to impede further scrutiny of Logan’s business activities.

Coffeezilla argues that Logan Paul’s legal team is attempting to tarnish his reputation by labeling his story as untrue and malicious, driven by monetary gain. However, Coffeezilla contends that Logan’s personal compliments of his work contradict these public accusations of defamation. This indicates that the lawsuit might be more about silencing critical analysis than addressing the accuracy of the reporting. The ongoing dispute between Coffeezilla and Logan Paul regarding CryptoZoo, as evidenced by this lawsuit, continues to unfold.
