Logan Paul has a behavior of being throughout the headlines for all kinds of causes it appears. Whether or not it was the notorious Japanese Suicide Forest ordeal or it’s him leaping off the highest rope at a WWE occasion Logan loves the limelight!
These latest headlines although are for extra controversial exercise from the Paul camp, as he has been uncovered to be closely concerned in what can solely be described as a Crypto gaming rip-off. One he has admitted to placing his personal cash into for its growth a number of instances to thousands and thousands of individuals world wide.
While the mission, named “CryptoZoo” has been on many individuals’s radars for over a yr now, YouTuber Coffeezilla has resurfaced this forgotten mission. Espresso, or Stephen Findeison has completed a terrific job at reporting this as he has uncovered lots of soiled play from these concerned with CryptoZoo. You’ll want to take a look at Coffeezilla’s YouTube channel.
Let’s look deeper into the thriller that’s CryptoZoo and what has come from all of it.
What’s CryptoZoo?
CryptoZoo has been described by Logan Paul as a “actually enjoyable recreation that earns you cash.” Now we will think about many have heard this earlier than with Web3 video games and related fraudulent outcomes have materialized.
The premise of this Crypto breeding recreation has been set out like so. The participant indicators in and purchases CryptoZoo token, which they then use to buy eggs. These eggs hatch and the purpose of the sport is to breed the animals obtained from the eggs. If an animal hatched has a excessive rarity, then this creates extra profitable gameplay as yielded tokens are larger and the bread animals are extra invaluable to gamers.
CryptoZoo’s web site additional described this recreation as an “autonomous ecosystem that enables ZooKeepers to purchase, promote, and commerce unique animals and hybrids.”
Paul while closely shilling this mission on his ‘Impaulsive’ podcast which presently has 4.million subscribers additional buried himself right into a gap. He would go on to assert that there had been a complete of 10 totally different artists that had created distinctive art work for the video games’ characters. Totalling 6 months to finish this a part of the sport.
Coffeezilla in his video collection has uncovered 4 key gamers in CryptoZoo. Logan Paul himself, Jeff (Logan’s supervisor, see on Impaulsive), Crypto King (the person who was seen in Logan’s Pokemon card movies) and a person named Eddie Ibanez.
Eddie was uncovered to have claimed to have labored for an NFL workforce as a strategist and likewise labored for america authorities. All of which ended up not truly being true.
The place did it go flawed for CryptoZoo?
It is a good query and from the seems to be of Stephen’s investigation so much went flawed for the CryptoZoo crypto recreation. After Coffeezilla interviewed some early traders of CryptoZoo it grew to become clear that folks had misplaced out on thousands and thousands of {dollars} from their investments.
It has been recorded that $2.3 million alone was spent on eggs to hatch in recreation. Gamers who purchased the tokens and eggs by no means acquired entry to them because of the recreation by no means working within the first place.
The supposed photos that took 6 months and 10 totally different artists to make have been simply ripped from Google Pictures. Higher nonetheless the incomes mechanics that have been promoted by Paul have been by no means included and gamers have been left confused as to what that they had truly put their cash into.
CryptoZoo’s predominant backers have been additionally caught by Coffeezilla to be pumping the worth of the p2e token earlier than it got here out. He managed to get ahold of screenshots from a gaggle chat all 4 of them have been in.
Every member purchased giant quantities of the token earlier than it went reside, nevertheless that backfired as an insider messed with their plans inflicting the market cap to drop thus ruining their plans to pump and dump the token as soon as launched.
Whereas I typically recognize Stephen’s artistic genius & distinctive work ethic (I imply that), this one is solely not true. When acceptable, all unhealthy actors might be uncovered, defined, & held totally accountable. I’ll communicate additional on IMPAULSIVE January 3.

Regardless of Logan Paul insisting that thousands and thousands was spent on this mission, many concerned with it have denied ever being paid. The primary dev felt he had been completed flawed that badly he obtained the code for the sport, fled to Switzerland with it and demanded one million greenback payout to Logan and his workforce.
To date everybody linked to CryptoZoo has been ducking any type of accountability regardless of the evident proof of foul play. Not solely has Logan Paul messed round these he labored with for this mission, he has additionally left his adoring followers out of pocket while he has come out thousands and thousands of {dollars} richer.
Each Logan and Coffeezilla have been backwards and forwards for the reason that movies have been launched. Logan appears to not really feel there was any foul play and has quoted “when acceptable, all unhealthy actors might be uncovered, defined, & held totally accountable.”
An Impaulsive episode has been scheduled for the third of January the place Logan’s full assertion on this affair might be acknowledged.
As for the remainder of them concerned with CryptoZoo, not a lot has been acknowledged. This complete state of affairs that has unfolded is slightly disturbing. When contemplating Logan Paul’s affect, particularly over younger folks, it makes you assume, has this man actually sorted his act out since his issues again in 2017? Who is aware of.
