In a dramatic legal saga surrounding the collapse of the CryptoZoo NFT project, Logan Paul has secured a default judgment against Jake Greenbaum, aka the CryptoKing, after Greenbaum chose not to respond to Paul’s lawsuit.&nbsp; 
The <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/01/05/logan-paul-attempts-to-make-amends-for-failed-cryptozoo-game/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lawsuit, filed</a> in response to allegations of a “rug-pull” scheme involving the failed NFT venture, accused Greenbaum and others of deceptive practices that led to significant investor losses. 
The controversy began when CryptoZoo, a game allowing users to trade tokens representing digital animals, failed to deliver on promises, <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2023/07/01/logan-pauls-cryptozoo-nft-refund-delay-continues/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">prompting accusations</a> of fraud. This debacle caught the attention of prominent YouTuber Coffeezilla, whose investigative series highlighted broken promises and substantial financial losses suffered by investors. 
Logan Paul, once a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqrH7TbruZA&amp;t=382s" target="_blank" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqrH7TbruZA&amp;t=382s" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">key promoter</a> of CryptoZoo, subsequently faced legal action in Texas, leading to a complex web of lawsuits and cross-claims involving multiple parties, including Paul’s assistant and manager. Amid escalating legal battles, Paul retaliated by suing Greenbaum and others, alleging their misconduct contributed to the project’s downfall. 
However, Greenbaum’s decision not to contest Paul’s lawsuit stemmed from legal advice suggesting that defending himself could lead to unnecessarily high costs and prolonged litigation. Greenbaum’s instead told him it would be cheaper if he ignored Logan’s lawsuit. 
Consequently, a default judgment was entered against Greenbaum, underscoring Paul’s legal victory in the ongoing fallout from the CryptoZoo controversy. 
The legal proceedings have also brought to light Paul’s attempt to mitigate damages through a buyback program for affected NFTs, a move criticized by commentators as potentially exploiting investors seeking recompense.

As the litigation continues, with Paul’s legal team pursuing discovery to assess damages and reputational harm, the case remains a focal point in discussions about accountability within the burgeoning NFT and cryptocurrency sectors.&nbsp; 
Paul’s camp has remained tight-lipped on the specifics of the case, choosing not to comment on Greenbaum’s non-response and the subsequent default judgment. 
The outcome of this legal battle could set precedents for future disputes in the evolving landscape of digital assets, underscoring the risks and complexities involved in high-profile cryptocurrency ventures.
