Why Crypto Influencer Ignored Logan Paul’s NFT Lawsuit

In a dramatic legal saga surrounding the collapse of the CryptoZoo NFT project, Logan Paul secured a default judgment against Jake Greenbaum, aka CryptoKing, after Greenbaum chose not to respond to Paul’s lawsuit.

O lawsuit filed in response to allegations of a “rug-pulling” scheme involving the failed NFT venture, accused Greenbaum and others of deceptive practices that led to significant losses for investors.

The controversy began when CryptoZoo, a game that allows users to trade tokens representing digital animals, failed to deliver on its promises, provoking accusations 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 main promoter 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, claiming their misconduct contributed to the project’s downfall.

However, Greenbaum’s decision not to contest Paul’s lawsuit resulted from legal advice that suggested that his defense could lead to unnecessarily high costs and protracted litigation. Instead, Greenbaum told him it would be cheaper if he ignored Logan’s lawsuit.

Consequently, a default judgment was entered against Greenbaum, underlining Paul’s legal victory in the fallout from the CryptoZoo controversy.

The court filings also brought to light Paul’s attempt to mitigate the damage through a buyback program for affected NFTs, a move criticized by commentators as potentially exploitative of reward-seeking investors.

As the litigation continues, with Paul’s legal team seeking discovery to assess damages and reputational harm, the case remains a focal point in discussions about liability in the growing NFT and cryptocurrency sectors.

Paul’s team remained tight-lipped about the details of the case, choosing not to comment on Greenbaum’s non-response and subsequent trial in absentia.

The outcome of this legal battle could set precedents for future disputes in the evolving landscape of digital assets, highlighting the risks and complexities involved in high-profile cryptocurrency ventures.
