Celebrated YouTuber, Logan Paul, has defended CryptoZoo, an infamous project linked to substantial losses for investors, stating it wasn’t a fraudulent scheme. A recent documentary titled 5 Months with Logan Paul featured a conversation between Paul and journalist Graham Bensinger, during which Bensinger questioned Paul about the controversial CryptoZoo nonfungible token (NFT) gaming project. Bensinger put forth several claims made against Paul, specifically highlighting how Paul's involvement led to financial losses for investors. Acknowledging a grain of truth to these allegations, Paul insisted that while he may have overseen an endeavour beyond his abilities, it should not be labelled as a scam. Shedding light on his own losses, Paul revealed a setback of half a million dollars and questioned why he would scam a project that he himself had invested in. In the documentary, Paul also confessed to having contemplated suicide due to the repercussions of the CryptoZoo project. Other segments of the film featured Paul vowing to handle those who cast him as the chief culprit behind what was perceived to be a scam, suggesting that the CryptoZoo narrative was far from over. He accused individuals like online journalist Coffeezilla of presenting a biased account that painted him as the chief orchestrator of the deceitful scheme. This isn't Paul's first public dispute concerning CryptoZoo - in January 2023, he had threatened legal action against Coffeezilla, aka Stephen Findeisen, for a report on the project, albeit apologising later. The same month saw Paul present a recovery plan worth $1.5 million for those affected, which, despite a year's gap and a class-action lawsuit, was finally put into action. In February 2023, a lawsuit alleged that Paul and CryptoZoo had orchestrated a scheme known as rug pull, defrauding investors of millions. A buyback program initiated by Paul on January 5 had an attached condition: refunds were contingent on forfeiting any current or future claims against Paul.
