Coffeezilla has accused YouTube boxer Logan Paul, who was in charge of the CryptoZoo NFT project, of publishing “defamation” about him and the project.
After Coffeezilla claimed that Paul’s CryptoZoo nonfungible token (NFT) project was a “scam,” YouTuber Logan Paul threatened to sue Coffeezilla for defamation.
Since Dec. 17, when Stephen Findeisen, also known as Coffeezilla, launched the first of a three-part video series attacking CryptoZoo and Paul, the project’s face, the two have been arguing back and forth on social media and YouTube videos.
He stated, “CryptoZoo was supposed to be a fun blockchain game that can earn you money.” However, despite receiving millions of dollars from investors, “things are still broken.”
The internet detective was accused of having “led the charge to drive and monetize a narrative telling millions of people that I’m a fraud or I tried to scam my audience” in Logan Paul’s most recent response, which he posted on YouTube on January 4.
Additionally, he has asserted that he “took multiple criminals’ words as truth and broke laws, you still published the defamation,” adding that he “took multiple criminals’ words as truth and broke laws.”
CryptoZoo is a NFT game in which “ZooKeepers” can purchase NFT eggs with the game’s native token, ZOO. After that, these eggs would hatch into animals that can be bred to make hybrids.
Paul described the project as a “really fun game that makes you money” in a podcast on August 21, 2021. The hybrids were intended to be tradeable and provide ZooKeepers with ZOO.
In addition, Paul had stated that ten distinct artists would “handmake” the game’s artwork over the course of six months.
In a video released on September 11, 2021, Coffeezilla focused on the hybrids, describing the images as “a bunch of stock photos from Adobe that have been poorly photoshopped.”
However, the CryptoZoo blog hasn’t posted anything new since April 20, leading some to believe that the project has stopped developing.
Coffeezilla conducted interviews with alleged project investors during his three-part CryptoZoo series. The CryptoZoo team was asked to “reimburse those loyal fans they have or try to rebuild the project,” according to one investor who claimed to still be holding eggs.
Paul, on the other hand, stated in his most recent video that they would “continue to build CryptoZoo.” He also provided a teaser, stating that it would be available in 2023 or 2024.
“Trust me, CryptoZoo is coming, I will make damn sure of it.”
On Twitter, Coffeezilla has maintained that these claims are not true:
“Fear not CryptoZoo holders, who spent millions in 2021.
The basic game MIGHT be delivered in 2023/24!!!! and definitely not because I made a video series about it.” pic.twitter.com/SQydiLrZjR
In the meantime, Paul and Coffeezilla have both invited each other to talk about the issue on their respective platforms, but neither has yet accepted any invitations.
The Zoo token has dropped by 99.5% over the past year, according to CoinMarketCap, despite some gains in the last week due to recent media attention.
Prior to launching CryptoZoo, Paul was a major promoter of the cryptocurrency token Dink Doink (DINK), and he was an avid supporter of cryptocurrencies and NFTs throughout the year 2021. Coffeezilla also slammed Dink Doink in a video from July 12, 2021.
