Throughout his active participation in combat sports, Logan Paul has not ignored what he is good at: entrepreneurial ventures. Last year he launched a Non-Fungible token (NFT) based project called CryptoZoo. The idea for the game was mooted in 2020 in one of the episodes of his show Impaulsive. The podcast launched in 2018 has more than four million subscribers. The goal was for people to have fun while playing a game based on NFTs and make money simultaneously. As its promoter, Logan Paul boasted that the development team spent six months creating ‘handmade’ NFTs as the game’s main selling point. He estimated a million dollars worth of collection to build the game and develop original NFTs. In 2021, CryptoZoo released some NFT animals. But the excitement quickly faded.
Despite pooling millions of dollars, all that investors received were generic pictures of zoo animals.

Stephen Findeisen, aka Coffeezilla, is a YouTube investigator with a three-part documentary series on the subject. Per its revelations, Logan Paul held the game’s creator responsible for the controversy. The programmer made a code and then took off for Switzerland, demanding $1,000,000 from the YouTuber in exchange for returning the code.
Per Coffeezilla’s reports, sales increased by the millions when Logan Paul became an advocate for the company.
Coffeezilla contacted Logan Paul’s manager Jeffrey Levin, who responded with a ‘no-comment’ response. Levin and Paul refused to provide evidence or even respond to questions about the problems with CryptoZoo.
Amidst reports of Logan blocking many YouTubers who condemned it, Coffeezilla revealed details of an email exchange. Per the latter’s disclosure, Logan invited him to his show, but he deleted the email sent initially for his appearance at Coffeezilla’s show.
Logan “invited me on his show” but didn’t include the email 24 hrs before this where I invited him first onto my show, along with Eddie, CryptoKing, and Jeff.🥱

Not stopping, Stephen Findeisen stated that he would donate whatever revenue he receives from a live-streamed interview with Logan.
if we livestream it I will donate 100% to the CryptoZoo Victims and if we have any left over, I will give it to dinkdoink holders.

In his third tweet, he subtly cautioned followers to remember what had been taken away.

Logan Paul, a journey in entertainment
Logan Paul is one of the most successful internet personalities to have emerged during the last five years. But, three years after his online ventures took off, the young entrepreneur set sail in an entirely unheard-of direction – combat sports. Unfortunately, however, his boxing debut ended on not such a high note. Not one to put all the eggs in the same basket, a dry run in entertainment wrestling seemed rewarding enough for him to sign a deal with the WWE. So much so that his performance during the Crown Jewel at Riyadh won widespread accolades. The upcoming WWE star is recuperating from an injury suffered during the final bout against Roman Reigns.
