Logan Paul won't be pursuing legal action against YouTube journalist Coffeezilla after apologising for threatening a defamation lawsuit over a documentary that accused him of running a cryptocurrency "scam".
Coffeezilla, whose real name is Stephen Findeisen, had dedicated over a year to putting together a three-part series about Paul's ill-fated project CryptoZoo, which was supposed to be a game in which users make money by earning NFTs. Paul, who has boxed three times including against Floyd Mayweather, posted a seven-minute video disputing a number of the claims, but has since deleted it.
Paul had threatened defamation proceedings with Findeisen, who he accused of forcing a narrative in the series that has now been viewed almost 18million times. But he is now backtracking on that idea, and has publicly and privately apologised to the reporter for his response video.
