I think Paul is only trying to clear his name and set the record straight. He doesn't want his reputation damaged.
1.I don't think that this topic belongs to the Bitcoin Discussion forum. Logan Paul's project "Cryptozoo" is a Play2earn NFT thing, which has nothing to do with Bitcoin. Maybe someone should move this forum thread to the Altcoin Discussion forum.
2.No scammer wants his reputation to be damaged. This Cryptozoo project was intended to be a "pump and dump" scam right from the start.
Logan Paul and Cryptoking had a beef, so Cryptoking secretly sold tokens from the liquidity pool, which forced Logan Paul to block Cryptoking to access his tokens. At the end of the day, it's just two scammers, who don't trust each other, but want to get some easy money from the innocent people.
