Logan Paul Faces Allegations of Crypto Misconduct Amid Ongoing Legal Battles

Despite already facing a multi-million dollar lawsuit, Logan Paul is facing some new questions regarding his sketchy history with cryptocurrency and whether or not he misled his fans to rake in profits.

Paul is currently in the midst of a lawsuit over a failed crypto project called CryptoZoo. However, according to a report from the BBC, new evidence suggests that the YouTube star promoted multiple investments without revealing he had a financial interest in them. Per the report, the BBC claims to have uncovered that shortly before Paul tweeted about a particular crypto coin in 2021, an anonymous crypto wallet with close connections to his public wallet had traded in the coin.

That anonymous wallet went on to make $120,000.

In 2021, Paul also promoted a series of extremely high-risk crypto tokens called meme coins — tokens that are typically inspired by internet jokes or memes and are supported by online communities.

Recently, the BBC attempted to interview Paul and get his side of the story as part of a documentary titled ‘Logan Paul: Bad Influence?’ by filmmaker Matt Shea.

After refusing to share his side of the story for the last several months, Paul finally gave the BBC the go-ahead to fly out to Puerto Rico for a sit-down interview. When the crew arrived, they were met by a Logan Paul lookalike who turned up in the WWE Superstar’s place. Shortly after, a crowd shouting abuse about the BBC arrived, including a man with a megaphone who led chants of “BBC is vile. They hire pedophiles.”

The BBC also received a letter from Paul’s lawyers advising them that publishing their findings could bring about potential consequences for the British Broadcasting Corporation.

“Rather than defend himself about the allegations we’ve been investigating, Logan decided to troll us,” Shea says in a recently released clip from the documentary.

Logan Paul’s cryptocurrency woes are far from over

In 2021, Paul announced CryptoZoo — a cryptocurrency made up of eggs they could purchase in a digital game. Players were then supposed to be able to hatch those eggs, raising animals that would act as NFTs, or non-fungible tokens. Those animals could be bred to create hybrid creatures, offering holders an opportunity to sell off their more unique animals for crypto.

Paul made big promises and hyped it on his various social media channels. As it turns out, the game didn’t even exist.

“Defendants promoted CryptoZoo’s products using Mr. Paul’s online platforms to consumers unfamiliar with digital currency products, leading to tens of thousands of people purchasing said products,” a class-action lawsuit filing from February 2023 read. “Unbeknownst to the customers, the game did not work or never existed, and the Defendants manipulated the digital currency market for Zoo Tokens to their advantage.”

After finishing the sale of all the CryptoZoo NFTs, the defendants and others “transferred millions of dollars’ worth of purchasers’ cryptocurrency to, among other places, wallets controlled by Defendants,” according to the filing (h/t Variety).

From Octagon to the Squared Circle? Tom Aspinall Considers Post-UFC WWE Career: “It’s a buzz.”

Paddy Pimblett might not be the only UFC fighter attempting to kickstart a career in the WWE.

Earlier this week, ‘The Baddy’ revealed that he had dreams of one day testing his mettle in the world of sports entertainment in hopes of one day becoming the next ‘Heartbreak Kid’ Shawn Michaels. Now, it sounds like the Liverpudlian will have some company as current interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall also likes the idea of jumping into the WWE ring once his MMA career is over.

“Absolutely, mate. That’s what I want to do in my post-fighting career,” Aspinall said in a recent interview. “I’ve got my show on TNT Sports now, so I like the punditry side as well. I’m very passionate about MMA, it’s been my life for as long as I can remember. I like to think that I know more about MMA than most and I can offer some kind of knowledge and breakdown to people who don’t understand MMA as well as I do. I think I’ve definitely got that to offer and I think I do that well, it’s something I enjoy and something that I want to continue to do.

“But WWE is something new and exciting for me as well. I really enjoyed it, it’s a buzz. It’s another way to get out there in front of an audience and do something not quite as dangerous, but still get the thrill. I don’t know, I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. I’ve still got a lot that I want to do in my MMA career. I’m not saying that I want to hang up the gloves just yet, but I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t enjoy it. I enjoyed the whole thing” (h/t MMA News).

WWE and UFC have seen its fair share of crossover talent in recent years

Last year, the UFC’s parent company purchased World Wrestling Entertainment in a blockbuster deal that saw the two entities merged under the TKO Group Holdings banner. Thus far, there have been few crossover appearances between the two organization’s stars, but speculation continues to run rampant that before long, we’ll see UFC stars step on the WWE stage and vice versa.

The WWE has already seen its fair share of UFC fighters jump into the world of pro wrestling. Brock Lesnar, Ronda Rousey, Cain Velasquez, and Matt Riddle are just a few former fighters who became industry stars under the WWE banner.

We’ve also seen a few WWE Superstars test out their skills in four-ounce gloves. CM Punk fought twice inside the Octagon while Dave Bautista and Jake Hager, also known as Jack Swagger, briefly fought in mixed martial arts after wrapping up their WWE careers.

How do you think Tom Aspinall would fare in a WWE ring?

Current UFC Champion Reveals Interest In Post-UFC WWE Career: ‘Still Get The Thrill’

Interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall has said in the past that he doesn’t intend on sticking around in the sport to achieve a long-lasting run and legacy. The Brit wants to make as much money possible in the fastest time before leaving with his health. This means that he’s going to need something to […]

This means that he’s going to need something to occupy his time once his fighting days are over and though he’s in no rush to walk away right now, an opportunity did recently arise. At the WWE’s recent live tour of the UK, one half of TKO Group Holdings collided with the other.

Aspinall was brought into the ring in Manchester, in the same venue where he stopped Curtis Blaydes in July, to step through the ropes and stand side-by-side with WWE champions Cody Rhodes and Gunther.

A post shared by WWE (@wwe)

In a recent interview with SafestCasinoSites, Aspinall reflected on the experience and whether stepping inside a WWE ring would be something that appeals to him once he’s finishing with his fighting career.

The champion started by talking about other areas that he would like to explore once he retires, including punditry and analyst work which he currently does for TNT Sports in the UK. However, pro wrestling helps to give him the same adrenaline rush that competing inside the Octagon satisfies.

“Absolutely, mate. That’s what I want to do in my post-fighting career. I’ve got my show on TNT Sports now, so I like the punditry side as well. I’m very passionate about MMA, it’s been my life for as long as I can remember.

Once he wraps up his UFC career, Paddy Pimblett sees a future in sports entertainment.

The Baddy’ has become one of the UFC’s most intriguing stars courtesy of his brash attitude and his ability to back it up, as proven by his spotless record inside the Octagon. Thus far, Pimblett is 6-0 under the UFC banner and recently broke into the lightweight top 15 with a stunning first-round submission victory over Bobby ‘King’ Green in Manchester earlier this year.

Pimblett has a ways to go before he earns himself a shot at the division’s top prize, but that doesn’t mean the Liverpudlian isn’t making plans for an eventual title run and beyond.

During a recent interview courtesy of OLBG.com, Pimblett revealed that he’d love to do something a little more dramatic once his days of strapping on the four-ounce gloves are over.

“Yeah [I could end up in the WWE]. I used to love wrestling. My favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and I’m dying to knock someone out with a sweet chin music in an MMA fight.

Paddy Pimblett wants to head to Hollywood after UFC

If you want to emulate a professional wrestler, ‘The Heartbreak Kid’ certainly isn’t a bad choice, but Pimblett isn’t stopping there. He later revealed that he’d love the opportunity to flex his acting chops in Hollywood one day.

“But I reckon I’m gonna end up in films. I’m gonna be an actor. I’ve just always thought about it. I always told people I was gonna be in the UFC for years. I’ve always loved films and I’ve always watched different TV programs, and when I was younger, when I was little, I did a little bit of acting stuff when I was in a few plays when I was a kid.

“So like I’ve always said that once my fighting career’s over, I’ll move over to acting and I’ll start doing that. And just by being in the UFC and stuff like that, I’ll end up getting a little job and then I’ll show that I can actually act and I’ll have a few more jobs.”

So what do you see in Paddy Pimblett’s future? WWE Superstar? Hollywood elite? Perhaps both.

Brock Lesnar’s WWE Future in Doubt: No Creative Plans Amid Ongoing Investigations

Former UFC heavyweight champion and WWE superstar Brock Lesnar is rumored to not be considered for any future roles,…

Former UFC heavyweight champion and WWE superstar Brock Lesnar is rumored to not be considered for any future roles, according to community insiders.

The Future of Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar is not currently included in WWE’s creative plans for upcoming storylines. Despite being a major star and a former champion, according to insider sources, there are no specific story arcs or matches set for him in the near future. This situation is noted because Lesnar often plays a major role in WWE events.

While fans might want to see Lesnar back soon, the WWE plans to focus on other wrestlers and storylines without him. His absence might be due to his special contract and the way he usually makes limited appearances, but most importantly, his potential involvement with the Vince McMahon court case.

While not explicitly named in the lawsuit filed by Janel Grant against Vince McMahon, Brock Lesnar is believed to be the unnamed “WWE Superstar” described in the allegations. The lawsuit alleges that McMahon used Grant to entice this wrestler (believed to be Lesnar) to re-sign with WWE. McMahon allegedly shared explicit photos and videos of Grant with the wrestler. After Lesnar signed a new contract with WWE, McMahon allegedly texted Grant stating that “part of the deal was f*****g U.”

As a result of these allegations, WWE has reportedly removed Brock Lesnar from their creative plans. It’s important to note that Lesnar has not been officially charged with any crime, and these allegations are part of the ongoing lawsuit against McMahon and WWE. The situation is still developing, and Lesnar’s future with WWE remains uncertain as the company appears to be distancing itself from him.

The US-born Brock Lesnar began as a standout collegiate wrestler at the University of Minnesota, where he won the NCAA Division I heavyweight championship in 2000. After college, Lesnar transitioned to professional wrestling, joining WWE in 2002 and quickly rising to become one of its biggest stars, winning multiple championships.

In 2004, he left WWE to pursue other ventures, including a brief stint in the NFL. Lesnar then made a successful transition to MMA joining the UFC in 2008 and capturing the heavyweight title. After retiring from MMA in 2011, he returned to WWE in 2012, where he has continued to be a dominant force, winning numerous titles and headlining major events.

Triple H is envious of what Dana White accomplished at Noche UFC.

Last month, the Ultimate Fighting Championship delivered on its promise to produce an event unlike anything combat sports fans had ever seen before. The promotion’s card inside the already iconic Sphere in Las Vegas was a spectacle that had everyone, including the WWE’s Chief Content Officer, swooning.

“When I see what Dana is doing and they’re just crushing it and I see stuff at The Sphere and I look at that production and I’m like, ‘I wanna do that.’ It’s just like a lot of fun,” Triple H said during a press conference following WWE Bad Blood on October 5. “Man, it’s amazing to watch them do what they do, at the level they do it, and there’s nothing like that in the world” (h/t Sportskeeda).

Though the budget for the event exceeded $20 million, Noche UFC brought in a record-breaking $22 million gate, breaking the $17 million record set by Conor McGregor’s clash with Eddie Alvarez in November 2016.

It also eclipsed the company’s previous records for highest-grossing merchandise sales and highest-grossing sales for VIP experiences. It also generated more sponsorship dollars than any other event in UFC history.

Noche UFC fails to close the show with a bang

As much as a spectacle as the evening was, the action inside the Octagon left a lot to be desired. Particularly in the case of the co-main and main events. Both Valentina Shevchenko and Merab Dvalishvili deployed a wrestle-heavy attack against their opponents en route to a pair of uneventful world title victories.

Their performances were dominant, but not exactly fan-friendly which left the UFC CEO a bit frustrated.

“You can control how much you spend on the production of an event, but you can’t control the fights,” White said of the lackluster title fights during the post-fight press conference.
