After going through Logan Paul's video response to another YouTuber's three-part series calling out his CryptoZoo NFT game as a scam, it's hard not to come to the conclusion that investing in a Logan Paul project might not be a good idea.

This has nothing to do with crypto scam-hunter Stephen "Coffeezilla" Findeisen's allegations that the as-yet-unreleased play-to-earn game was a scam.

It's more that Paul, a media personality and YouTube star with 23.6 million subscribers, a WWE wrestling gig, and the ability to end an eight-round boxing exhibition match with Floyd Mayweather on his feet, defended himself in large part by demonstrating that he's a lousy businessman.

That's an opinion, of course. (Particularly as Paul ended the video by telling Findeisen "I'll see you in court.")

But given that two key pillars of Paul's defense revolved around CryptoZoo having hired developers that he alleges included a violent felon and a "conman who fooled billionaires, the Mormon Church, the owner of the New York Yankees, and now me," it's kind of hard to see reaching into one's wallet.

Especially given that Paul harshly criticizes Findeisen for failing to catch these alleged bad actors before turning to his own failings in that regard:

"I know what you're thinking: What type of idiot would work with an unsavory individual like [the alleged armed robber]? I guess that's what I get for trusting the team that I relied on to vet and manage [the alleged conman's] hiring process."

Hatching a Plan

After that, Paul refuted the allegation that the CryptoZoo game doesn't work.

The long-delayed CryptoZoo's dynamic is you buy eggs for Zoo tokens, hatch them into animals ranging from ducks to elephants, which can then be cross-bred into hybrids. Which sounds more than a little bit like CryptoKitties. But, the CryptoZoo animals can hatch, he said, and the full game is coming, he promised.

The breeding part is where the "to-earn" part of play-to-earn comes from. The rarer hybrids will yield Zoo tokens that can be cashed out.

Next, Paul alleges that Findeisen — whose YouTube crypto scam exposés were profiled in the New Yorker last year — illegally recorded a phone call with Paul's manager Jeff Levin.

Finally, Paul unleashed the pièce de résistance:

"Jeff and I made no money and will never make any money on CryptoZoo. In fact, we only lost money trying to pick up the pieces… I do appreciate you calling out that rats under my nose stole the game code, millions of dollars and left Jeff and I abandoned with no team and knives in our back."
