    I don’t want to victim blame here, but both “Logan Paul” and “crypto” together is just screaming scam. That being said, I hope the victims get their money back, though from the article, I doubt it’ll be anytime soon if at all.

      On the one hand, I think when people are being scammed, there should be some recourse for them to recover their money.

      But on the other hand, if you can’t see through “cryptocurrency” + “Logan Paul” + “game”, maybe you deserve to lose that money. I just wish it could be taken away from Logan Paul and donated to people who really need it.

      Probably the same people that like Tate, teenagers/children or people that grew up to him but didn’t grow out of him. Also prime is a shit drink and is not efficacious in the field he is trying to advertise it in.

    People love shitting on crypto. The title could just be “Logan Paul still hasn’t refunded victims of his scam”, but no, gotta write “crypto videogame” because clickbait good. How many scams are run through “traditional” methods? How many scams are created through the internet and email? Are those things bad too?

      If he was calling it “EmailZoo” wouldn’t we call it an email scam? Maybe we’ve been too forgiving of scams in Bitcoin space.

      People love shitting on crypto

      With good reason. Here’s yet another crypto scam and you’re replying with “what about other scamming methods?”. Maybe there’s a reason we talk much more often about crypto scams.
