KSI wants to sue me for pump and dump allegations
🕑 Added 2024-02-23 18:16:09 +0000 UTCJust wanted to update you guys with what's going on. KSI has responded in a video, claiming "I didn't scam", "why would I scam", "this is cringe" etc. Really breathtaking stuff.
In part of his response he claimed that he was considering legal, which I assumed was a joke, but when I reached out... it's not at all.
He claims if I make any video or post about his $XCAD pump and dump allegations, "you will be subjecting yourself to legal claims".
Apparently doing your job as a journalist is illegal now. Who knew?

Logan Paul's lapdog is threatening to sue, just like his dear master.
Mario Longtin
It's wild how a clown like KSI will still end up on Theo's podcast Just like when the UFC and Walmart did a deal with Logan - it's so corrupt and fucked up in the states
Jordan Brown
If he didn’t do it and had proof of it, wouldn’t he want to show it?
Megan Farris
Hey Coffee, any word on the voidzilla deleted video? Lots of stuff around Caleb Hammer going around!
Orkillester
He and Logan really are just the same guy
William Ables
If needed, I am an attorney and know several around the country.

This can't be KSI typing this. These types of responses are never good and I would think every influncer would know that by now. "I didn't do anything and if You keep saying I did, you will be dealt with legally" is a weird response to a question about being sued and a request for hard proof that could prove the person isn't scamming.
Fernanda Alario
It all boils down to « I didn’t do it » and « if I did, wasn’t on purpose » and my favorite « me dumb Your Honor » ….
Jack Robbins
You know he didnt draft that last message himself lol
Graham T.
His threat in the last sentence is him saying he’ll actually try to sue you if you make a mistake and misreport something. If his claim had any merit, he would have followed through with his threat already.

You know, it’s good to be part of a community like this, dedicated to exposing scams and scammers
FrostyJK
Go get him! Great job as always! The community stands by you Coffeezilla!

When I first saw the video about this I didn't think much about it. At the end we see this kind of behaviour (and its calling out) all the time and nothing/noone responds. Now I'm starting to think there's something more to it. Go get them Coffee, we got you.
Craig Ricer
Couldn’t of said it better!

Oh sweet boy, don't you understand what "Discovery" is?

Good luck on this case mate. Never back down from the mega influential.

Call his bluff
Something Like That
The change in voice from "I'm just a silly little guy, hehe! nothing but dumb meme posts here!" in his tweets to "If I elect to respond to anything further, I will do at the appropriate time and manner." in his texts is really odd. It's clearly not his own words but it isn't straight legal speak either. I think he's getting wise to the fact that your onto something that could be legitimately criminal and has started looking for legal advice as a direct response to that realization. The semantics of the latter quote make the quality of his legal sources dubious at best in my opinion. I wonder if KSI is talking with actual lawyers or taking the advice of someone close to him. I'll also throw out the possibility of personally crafting that statement himself with the intention of scaring you off, but I doubt he's smart enough to write it or dumb enough to think it'd work.
Jesse Duddy
This is such an odd tactic. Like, how could it possible be libel? He admitted he did the thing --- sold an unregulated security, I mean cryptocurrency --- after talking about how great it was and how he was holding. Personally, if it was me, the last thing I would want to do is draw more attention to my possibly criminal behavior by threatening to sue people (when you have already admitted to the relevant facts).
Bernard Saturday
That last bit sounded more like a copy/paste from ChatGPT than the usual KSI verbiage.
Paul Dejean
This is why I'm supporting you on patreon, because unfortunately real journalism in this era means subjecting yourself to meritless legal attacks.
Wesley Patrick
Always a good sign!
TheNickestNick
Get 'em. If he sues you, you will win in both the court of law and the court of public opinion. It's an all dump and no pump strategy for him.
SkepticGhost
The fanboys of these grifters are delusional and cringe-worthy as all hell. They laugh out of deep-seated insecurity and blind fanboyism. They can't deal with the truth that someone they love could be scamming others.
Don Bright
People are missing that KSI is in England so American concepts like SLAPP and first amendment do not apply. Thats why Lance Armstrong was able to get away with this shit for a decade.
Mason Schmidgall
Either he's bluffing, hasn't talked to a lawyer yet, or has an overconfident lawyer
Kieran Elliott
The 'why would I scam' is a classic deflection move of course (and in any case asking for their side means it clearly is not a hatchet job), but it makes me think back to the first CryptoZoo video, with one of Logan's boys saying something like 'Logan doesn't need to scam his fans to make money?'. Which is true, which is why it's even more damning these people often still do.
Kieran Elliott
When will they learn that just because threats to sue will work on everyday people, it will only enrage those with an actual platform to respond and publicise the threats? Every time they think they are being so clever.
David Weintraub
Unless he can show utter recklessness in your claims he did a pump and dump, he can’t successfully sue you. No lawyer would touch this suit. Well, no half decent lawyer. He might also be setting himself up for a SLAPP suit, depending on where you and he live. He can try to sue in a state with no SLAPP law protection, but you could easily move the venue to your or his state of residence.
Wolphie
KSI does not write like this. This is absolutely the guy's lawyer or something. It'd be funny if it wasn't serious.
Etadik_Was_Taken
And he's STILL refusing to provide any proof of his "innocents"
GmmBeast
I was just watching a video of someone reacting to your KSI video and I have to say, the amount of people supporting KSI is wild. They wouldn't be laughing if they were the ones getting shit on.
Andrew Becker
Of course. Scumbags use legal threats to try to get their way and get people to back down from criticism. It's their bread and butter. His idiot boss did it too. He knows he has nothing, just wants to try to silence you. We all know the "I have made a severe and continuous lapse in judgement" is incoming.
Bill Sourour
Do these people really not understand that if they sue you, they subject themselves to discovery and that truth is an absolute defence against defamation. Maybe they think they have more money than you and can bury you in legal bills, but they drastically underestimate the immediate financial support you would have from your community. I bet like his buddy Logan he hasn't really consulted a lawyer yet and when he does the legal threats will quickly disappear!
Ema
Did he not learn anything from his buddy Logan?
David
This. Exactly this. When people make these kinds of threats they tend to have no clue how deep the discovery process can reach into areas they usually don't want to have examined.
Alexander Demers
That's hilarious lmao. How does he think he can get away with that? Nothing more should be expected from Logan's biggest defender but... does he think this'll somehow make him look less guilty? Can't wait to see his fans try to defend this one. Just goes to show how impactful your work has been. Between this, nourtrades, Omnia Media, and the 1 Mil special, you've been absolutely killing it! Can't wait to see everything you and the team have been cooking up
Andreas Knab
Does he know there is a discovery process when there's a lawsuit? That's one way to give you his files...
Steve
I'm ready to give to the GoFundMe for the "Void Devouring KSI" fund. KSI should know his other Prime founder's threat of legal action quickly disappeared when it was discovered that facts and opinion based on facts are an effective defense against frivolous lawsuits. I wonder if KSI is going to sue in Illinois, as they don't have any Anti-SLAPP legislation?
Alan Goldstein
"I used to love Coffeezilla but he's way off here....". Blah blah blah....
Atama
It's sad but not surprising how often lawsuit threats come up in these investigations, based on other videos you've put out.
RandomGuestX
Maybe, one of his legal team wrote this. In any case, why they always choose this route? This is just sad man. Send him to the VOID!
Dave Handler
The truth negates a libel claim so...yeah he is screwed.
The Last Scientist
You've been busy lately. If you make everyone mad at you in a week maybe you can get a class action lawsuit that you can frame and hang up in the $10,000,000 studio. Unfairly discriminating against criminals or something. Or maybe coffee is interfering with their lifestyle and means of earning an income.
Paolo B
-Stephen: As for your implications, you might sue me… -Coffezilla Legal Insurance: Ah shit, here we go again.
Tuber-Cul0sis
Threatened by both prime owners
Eddie Anton
I was thinking it was a ctrl+p, ctrl+v from a legal subreddit.
Andrei Coman
Looking forward to your next video about him! Can’t go around letting this legal bluff go unanswered
Cassie Scott
No wonder he and Logan Paul are such friendly business partners... they share the same shady business/ investment practices. 😒😒😒
Kris
Guess you should inform him, that defamation laws are a liiiiitle different in the US than in the UK. His suit is not going to work out like the one his brother filed against Kavos.
SkepticGhost
The biggest tell with these grifters is when they start claiming they're going to sue you.
Josh
His lawyer wrote that response lol. You think KSI is articulate like that?
Jeremy Desaulniers
Looks like he is all primed up
Griffin Jeskey
They always follow the same playbook once they have no way out: make threats and ignore all evidence. Just sad
Stefan
A normal Friday evening I think?
Gambit 56790
Nothing says I've done nothing wrong like "If you talk about this I'll sue"
Dru
Sounds like he’s scared.
Syed Ali
Taking the Logan Paul route is wild
Joshua Duarte
Lmao @ that chatGPT response “Voidzilla is being mean to me, how to make him stop”
