Logan Paul files defamation lawsuit over Coffeezilla's coverage of his failed CryptoZoo project

A year and a half after threatening to sue YouTuber Coffeezilla for his series of videos exposing influencer Logan Paul's (alleged) role in (allegedly) scamming his large following with a failed blockchain game, Paul has followed through on the threat. Although he acknowledges in the lawsuit that the project was definitely a scam, Paul says that he too was duped by several "conmen" who he'd brought on as advisers.In the lawsuit, Paul claims that Coffeezilla knowingly falsely accused Paul of being in on the scam in hopes of getting more attention on his videos. Paul is seeking more than $75,000 in damages.In January 2024, Paul filed suit against the advisers he's described as "conmen". He's also pointed the finger at them while defending a potential class action complaint from defrauded investors.

"you can't say i'm a scammer, i'm actually just a super huge rube," says the guy sleeping on a pile of money 🤔​🤔​🤔​
@web3isgreat Let’s hope Coffezilla crushes him in the lawsuit.
@web3isgreat Texas, despite being Texas, actually has pretty good anti-SLAPP laws.
@web3isgreat all that was the future melts into Billy Mitchell
@web3isgreat The triple a-hole strikes again..
@web3isgreat Can't wait to see Coffeezilla tear Logan apart! I'd be shocked if this case actually went anywhere; I'm positive Logan is full of crap here.
@web3isgreat The motion to dismiss on this one should make for entertaining reading.
@web3isgreat I saw the documentary, it seemed that Coffezilla had all the receipts, the lawsuit could be a great way of discovering more dirty laundry for a sequel documentary after the lawsuit though…
@web3isgreat guess he's suing to help pay back his victims /s

@web3isgreat

This is almost certainly a publicity stunt. Being a public figure, Paul would have to prove actual malice, a very high bar.
