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..."

My Battle with Blizzard.com: Email Hackers from South Korea and Phisher-men from Singapore

Blizzard Phishing Scam

Potential computer hackers
I received a phishing scam email from "Blizzard Entertainment" but the email seemed like it was not legitimate.

First of all, what do they want from me?  

The answer is my account information.

Since I didn't win the Nigerian lottery, they didn't think to ask for my bank account and social security number.  But they want my login credentials.  FYI:  These credentials are gone and exist no more.  But I think the principle here is: no one likes to be scammed, hacked, phished, or swished - head down in the toilet - by bullies.


If you notice in the photo above, I have been receiving quite a few emails from Blizzard and Battle.net. But as you can see in my inbox, only 2 of these emails actually have the certified shield that verify the authenticity of the sender.  Those 2 emails were follow-up automated messages that want me to rate how helpful the Blizzard reps were that contacted me.  All of the rest of the emails without the authentic green shields are phishing emails from hackers.

They are going about this by pretending to send me an official automated message from Blizzard.  Then, they provide a direct link to the login screen (how convenient, by the way). This is actually a "phony baloney" login, but appears to be a perfect clone of the real site.

I was able to track the sender of an email, after a quick Google search on How to locate an IP address in Hotmail. Then I took the code in Hotmail and input this into an IP detection extraction script, found here.  They also provide at that site a handy way to pinpoint the host IP country, and where to file your email complaints of fraud.  So I found out that the true individual(s) involved in this wicked scheme originate from South Korea (Seoul) and Singapore.  And I thought the kind people from South Korea were supposed to be our friends!  I sent an email to the Singapore host and we'll see if they reply back.

Note:  I do want to point out that not everyone from S. Korea and/or Singapore is a hacker.  It just happened in this case that this is where the spam emails originated from.

I attempted to contact the real Blizzard during this process but they were unfriendly and unwilling to help me aside from telling me that I need to filter these emails to a spam folder.  I was hoping to get some real results.
