美國影響者 Logan Paul 對 YouTuber Coffeezilla 就 CryptoZoo 項目報告提起誹謗訴訟

美國影響者 Logan Paul 對 Coffeezilla（真名 Stephen Findeisen）提起誹謗訴訟，他是一位在其頻道上報告各種詐騙的 YouTuber。

American influencer Logan Paul has filed a defamation suit against Coffeezilla, whose real name is Stephen Findeisen. Coffeezilla is a YouTuber who covers various scams on his channel and made a series of videos in 2022 highlighting Logan’s failed CryptoZoo project.

美國網紅洛根·保羅 (Logan Paul) 對 Coffeezilla 提起誹謗訴訟，其真名是史蒂芬‧芬德森 (Stephen Findeisen)。 Coffeezilla 是一位 YouTuber，他在自己的頻道上報導了各種騙局，並在 2022 年製作了一系列視頻，重點介紹 Logan 失敗的 CryptoZoo 項目。

The project, which was supposed to incorporate cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and other on-chain elements, saw many of its investors lose their investments. NFTs for the game were sold to investors by Logan, who claimed they would find utility in CryptoZoo. However, the game’s development was abandoned, and the NFTs’ prices dropped drastically along with the project’s native ZOO tokens. ZOO was the project’s utility token, and users could buy animal-themed NFTs in the game with it. Despite voicing their concerns, CryptoZoo’s investors did not receive any resolutions.

該項目本應包含加密貨幣、NFT 和其他鏈上元素，但許多投資者卻失去了投資。 Logan 將遊戲的 NFT 賣給了投資者，他聲稱他們會在 CryptoZoo 中找到用處。然而，遊戲的開發被放棄，NFT 的價格與該項目的原生 ZOO 代幣一起大幅下跌。 ZOO是該專案的實用代幣，用戶可以用它在遊戲中購買動物主題的NFT。儘管表達了他們的擔憂，CryptoZoo 的投資者並未收到任何解決方案。

Coffeezilla’s three-part video series on the situation garnered millions of views, leading to large swaths of people calling out Logan for ignoring CryptoZoo’s investors. His coverage of the topic also got a response from Logan, who claimed that the developers and advisors for this project were motivated by self-profits and abandoned the project abruptly after receiving funds. Moreover, Logan mentioned that his involvement in the project was minimal.

Coffeezilla 關於這一情況的三部分影片系列獲得了數百萬次觀看，導致大量人指責 Logan 無視 CryptoZoo 的投資者。他的報導也得到了洛根的回應，洛根聲稱該項目的開發商和顧問出於自身利益的動機，在收到資金後突然放棄了該項目。此外，洛根提到他對該項目的參與很少。

Nevertheless, Coffeezilla’s exposé on the issue pushed Logan to announce a $1.5 million recovery plan that never materialized. Months later, he set up a $1 million buyback program through which he would refund CryptoZoo NFT holders. But those accepting money from this program would have to relinquish their rights to sue Logan for the CryptoZoo fiasco, among other conditions. He also added that he made no revenue from the incomplete development of the game and token sales.

儘管如此，Coffeezilla 對這一問題的曝光促使 Logan 宣布了一項 150 萬美元的恢復計劃，但該計劃從未實現。幾個月後，他設立了一項 100 萬美元的回購計劃，並透過該計劃他將退還 CryptoZoo NFT 持有者。但接受該計劃資金的人必須放棄因 CryptoZoo 慘敗而起訴 Logan 的權利以及其他條件。他還補充說，他沒有從遊戲的不完整開發和代幣銷售中獲得任何收入。

Now, he claims that CryptoZilla’s videos defamed him by omitting essential information in his content that made it seem like Logan was not committed to rectifying the situation. The suit read, “Paul brings this defamation suit to hold Findeisen accountable for his actions and to hold him liable for the immense harm that he has caused to Paul’s reputation through the intentional and reckless dissemination of defamatory falsehoods.”

現在，他聲稱 CryptoZilla 的影片在其內容中遺漏了重要訊息，從而誹謗了他，這使得 Logan 看起來並沒有致力於糾正這種情況。訴訟中寫道：“保羅提起誹謗訴訟，要求芬德森對自己的行為負責，並要求他對因故意和魯莽地傳播誹謗性謊言而對保羅名譽造成的巨大損害承擔責任。”

It was filed in a District Court in San Antonio, Texas, and demands CryptoZilla cover Logan’s reputational damages by paying “an excess of $75,000, as well as interest, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and costs, as allowed by law.” Logan claimed that he planned to sue CryptoZilla in 2022 but did not do so because he was focusing on rectifying the situation instead.

該訴訟已向德克薩斯州聖安東尼奧地方法院提起，要求 CryptoZilla 支付“超過 75,000 美元的費用，以及法律允許的利息、合理的律師費和其他費用”，以彌補 Logan 的聲譽損失。 Logan 聲稱他計劃在 2022 年起訴 CryptoZilla，但由於他專注於糾正這種情況而沒有這樣做。
