Class Action Lawsuit Against Logan Paul Was Dismissed


In the 2023 CryptoZoo case, Plaintiffs alleged that CryptoZoo failed to deliver after buying NFTs and tokens for a blockchain based game that never launched. Paul promoted CryptoZoo in 2021 as a play-to-earn game where users could buy "egg" NFTs, hatch out virtual animals, and then "earn money" by breeding and trading them. 

The game was never completed. In 2023, a class-action lawsuit was filed in Texas where Paul and his associates were accused of fraud, a breach of contract. Investors claimed that a "rug pull" happened because the project raised money and then never came to fruition.

In late October 2025, a judge dismissed the claims against Logan Paul in the CryptoZoo lawsuit.

Logan Paul Sues Coffeezilla for Defamation


Logan Paul launched a lawsuit against YouTuber Coffeezilla, which has a trial date set for April 2026. Coffeezilla is a moniker of YouTuber Stephen Findeisen, who released "investigative" YouTube videos accusing Paul of fraud in the CryptoZoo debacle.

Paul is seeking financial damages and legal costs against Findeisen after being accused of running a fraudulent scheme and "damaging his reputation."

Paul went on The Iced Coffee Hour Podcast and warns people that call him a scammer.

Comments on Yahoo!

Users on Yahoo! weighed in with their opinions. Read a few below.

Dylan said: "Probably not a good idea to sue someone for telling the truth. It will all come out in discovery, but Paul probably doesn't understand that."

User "Whatever" said: "With all the things people call you and your brother. SCAMMER is a compliment."

David M. wrote: "Maybe the Scammer should read the 1st amendment."

Louie wrote: "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”

this guys a big joke stop following him all he does is take your money"


Juan Carlos said: "Fine, how about conman or grifter?"


Raymond commented, "So he doesn't like being called a scammer, how about grifter?"


Jaime wrote: "He is a scammer, if people didn't get all their money back, then it's obviously a scam. I don't see how he looks at it any different. Only a scammer would look at it as if they weren't scamming somebody and come up with excuses. He is a scammer..."

A Kansas City Man Learned His Dog had Fatal Canine Dysautonomia and Wants Others to Know About This Misdiagnosed Dog Disease

A Kansas City man is still trying to get over the loss of his best friend, Boomer, after his dog came down with a mysterious illness. When he got his dog into the veterinarian, it was already too late. His vet tells him that dysautonomia cases are often fatal and more common in the Midwest, and even more common in Kansas City.

KCTV News 5 reported that Paul Miller from Pleasant Hill is still grieving over his best friend, a border collie named Boomer. His dog was acting sluggish and vomiting, but they were not able to save Boomer.

The veterinarian diagnosed Boomer with canine dysautonomia (CD), a dog illness that is mostly seen in the Midwest United States, and most US cases are seen in Kansas City. This disease is linked to bacteria found in dirt and is often misdiagnosed in dogs. (Source: KCTV News 5)

Paul said:

“Well, he was just a constant companion,” said Miller. “He was a Border Collie. They tend to be very loyal to one person. We have a farm and he went with me to do chores and check cows and everything.” -Paul Miller, lost his dog Boomer to CD (Source: KCTV News 5)

Paul and Boomer had some great times together and can be seen in the picture below.

Paul said:

“I’m 70 years old and it’s very emotional for me,” Miller said while reminiscing. “It doesn’t matter what age you are. If you get attached to an animal, it’s part of your life. It’s hard. I just want people to be aware of this disease.” -Paul Miller, lost his dog Boomer to CD (Source: KCTV News 5)

Most importantly, Paul wants others to be aware of this disease.

The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) on Canine Dysautonomia (CD)

The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) reported that the first diagnosis of CD took place in the UK in 1983, and the second case diagnosis was found in Wyoming in 1991. "In the US, it's mostly in rural, midwestern states such as Kansas, Missouri, and Wyoming; that it’s more prevalent in dogs who spend more than half their time outside; and that it seems to affect younger dogs—with the average age being three years old at the time of diagnosis."

One reason that we don't see many cases of it, is because "the disease is frequently misdiagnosed and treated as a respiratory or gastrointestinal condition due to the appearance of the initial symptoms." Source: AAHA

Those symptoms include:

  • Decreased tear production
  • Diarrhea
  • Dilated pupils
  • Straining and/or Difficulty urinating or defecating
  • Distended bladder
  • Low or absent anal tone
  • Thick nasal discharge
  • Protrusion of third eyelid

Some of these symptoms do sound strange, but they were actually reported by AAHA.

An Early Diagnosis Gives the Best Chance of Survival

It is important that if a person thinks their dog has canine dysautonomia, the earlier it is diagnosed, the better chances their dog has.

Researcher Brant Schumaker, Ph.D., at Wyoming State Veterinary Laboratory says that this is an "extremely serious disease with a 92% mortality rate." Source: AAHA

There is a Facebook page for Canine Dysautonomia Awareness to help educate the public.

Please share this information on social media so others can be informed of this uncommon dog disease.

Movie Review: Downsizing (2017) is Dull and Bores with Global Warming

Downsizing


Downsizing: Don't Think that it is a Fun Movie

A friend and I went to see the movie Downsizing (2017). It was between this movie and All the Money in the World (2017). My friend decided that the Downsizing movie would be less of a downer (less depressing) and that it would be a fun and lighthearted movie. Boy, was he wrong. It is not a comedy. It is a dull and depressing movie about how the Earth will end at the hands of methane gas due to Global Warming.

This movie was dull and depressing and boring. The movie was disappointing and I will tell you why.

The following contains spoilers.

The Downsizing Trailer is Misleading

First of all, if you get the impression that the movie Downsizing is a fun and lighthearted movie from the trailer, then you are sadly mistaken.

I thought the movie was going to be similar to Honey I Shrunk the Kids (1989), in that they would exploring the nuances of being shrunk and small in comparison to the rest of the world. Downsizing is not like this at all. There are only a few moments in the movie where this happens.

First, Matt Damon plays lead character Paul Safranek. He is an occupational therapist that is a middle class guy working in Omaha Steaks in the Midwest. So he and his wife agree to be shrunk so they can multiply their wealth (the small lifestyle requires less money to life and the money goes farther).

So we get to see the process of Paul Safranek getting shrunk. They have to remove all of his hair from his body, and all of the fillings from his mouth. This is because any non-living tissue would stay the real size, and kill the person during the shrinking process.

Downsizing: Only a Few References to Being Small


Here are the following references in the movie to being small:

The opening speaker: Dr. Jorgen Asbjørnsen 
In the movie, it starts with the guy that invents the shrinking process. Dr. Jorgen
He speaks to a group of people, and they are impressed with the small footprint that a tiny person creates.

The high school  reunion: This the second encounter when a couple from high school is carried into the reunion in a glass box.

After Paul Safranek is shrunk, and handed over from the normal size nurse to the minature nurses, the normal nurse is chatting with the minature nurses. This is one example of the cross reference between large and small. The next example is when Paul Safranek wakes up, the nurse shows him a pack of large Saltine crackers, and mentions how cute that is. After this, the only other reference to them being small is when they travel on a bus, because normal size people and miniatures can travel on the same bus.

Aside from the examples given above, the movie imagery veers heavily from the whole premise of being small. After about the halfway mark of the movie, they do not show any more size comparisons or normal to miniature comparisons.

Downsizing Stays Depressing Throughout the Movie


The overarching them throughout the movie Downsizing is Global Warming. This is no secret. From the start of the movie, Dr. Jorgen and his colleagues present their process at a conference in Turkey.

Then we go into the future. This happens quite a bit throughout the movie. Five Years Later. One Year Later. Five Years Later. etc. This is just one sign that the movie can't tell a continuous story about anything interesting.

Overall, the movie is quite depressing. Paul Safranek is taking care of his sick mother. Paul Safranek is not able to buy the house his wife really wants. Paul Safranek's wife divorces him because she gets cold feet when about to be shrunk. Lastly, Dr. Jorgen says that methane has been released at the Antarctic and the Earth will no longer sustain life.

In terms of a positive uptick in the movie, the only positive is that Paul Safranek falls in love with a Vietnamese refugee, and this takes up the majority of the second half of the movie. He says that he finally understands his purpose in life, and wants to go with the original small community underground for thousands of years. However, he changes his mind at the last minute, because he is in love with the Vietnamese refugee woman.

I found myself wondering: "How much longer will this movie last?" many times, and the movie seemed to drag on. It failed to deliver.

To sum it all up, this movie is not a lighthearted comedy movie about being shrunk. It is a heavily political movie focused on the effects of Global Warming hysteria.

Regardless of your stance on Global Warming, this movie felt incomplete and disjointed at best. I left the movie feeling unsatisfied. I would not willingly want to watch this movie ever again. That would be torture. It's that bad.
