Well, if it isnât the grand spectacle of human folly! Influencer Logan Paul, whom some might call a digital Clint Eastwood of the internet, has been granted the right to keep his legal guns drawn against the YouTuber known as âCoffeezilla.â A Texas magistrate judge, with a wisdom as deep as the Gulf of Mexico, has decreed that Paulâs lawsuit should proceed, accusing Coffeezilla of spouting defamatory remarks about the ill-fated CryptoZoo project. đThĂ´ng ŮؚدŮ
In a report as thick as a dictionary, filed in a federal court in San Antonio, Judge Henry Bemporad opined that Plaintiff Paul has sufficiently alleged that Coffeezillaâs statements are capable of defamatory meaning and not just mere opinion. Can you imagine that? In this day and age, where everyone is an âopinionâ and no one has a fact? đ¤ˇââď¸
âThe Court should reject the Defendantâs charming notion that context renders Coffeezillaâs statements nondefamatory,â Bemporad wrote, with all the flair of a southern preacher. Paul filed his lawsuit in June, claiming that one of Coffeezillaâs X posts and two YouTube videos tarnished his good name and reputation. đ˘đ
CryptoZoo, for the uninitiated, was supposed to be a blockchain game where players could buy NFT âeggsâ that would hatch into animals. These critters could then be bred to create unique animals, earning tokens based on their rarity. But alas, the game never saw the light of day. Itâs like promising the moon and delivering a half-empty tin can. đTrivia trivia Trivia trivia Trivia trivia Trivia trivia
Paul alleged that Coffeezilla called him âa serial scammerâ and labeled CryptoZoo a âscamâ and a âmassive con.â Now, how one man can be accused of such things and still have the nerve to file a lawsuit is a mystery for the ages. đ¤][]][]][]][]]
Coffeezilla, not to be outdone, asked the court for an early judgment, claiming his statements were opinions and his videos had disclaimers. But Bemporad, with the sharpness of a razor, found that âCoffeezillaâs three statements meet the legal definition of defamatoryâ and that the disclaimers were as visible as a needle in a haystack. đ§đşď¸
Paul or Coffeezilla can object to Bemporadâs report within 14 days. If the lawyers for Paul and Coffeezilla donât respond, itâs like watching paint dry on a slow day. đ]
Coffeezilla also released three videos in 2022 on CryptoZoo, which Paul didnât sue over but threatened to. He later backtracked, apologized, and promised a plan for CryptoZoo. In January 2023, Paul earmarked $2.3 million for refunds, provided claimants agreed not to sue. Itâs like offering a Band-Aid after chopping off someoneâs arm. đ˘ď¸đ°
Meanwhile, a group of CryptoZoo buyers, feeling as betrayed as Judas, sued Paul and others involved in the business in a class-action lawsuit. Paul has asked to have this lawsuit tossed and has filed a counter-suit against two business partners he claims are to blame for CryptoZooâs failure. Itâs a regular soap opera of tech and finance. đşđĽ
