5:46 am
wallet began selling tons of dink doink, essentially cashing out on the queen and causing the price to plummet. then at that same wallets and thousands of dollars worth of cryptocurrency to logan paul's public crypto wallet. no—one knows for sure who this wallet belongs to. but we know that it belongs to. but we know that it belongs to. but we know that it belongs to one of the founders of cryptozoo. founders of the project work gifted zoo token and this wallet received 95 billion of them which led some people to believe the wallet believed to logan paul himself. we asked logan paul about this and while he did not deny the wallet was his, he denied making money in any gifted dink doink tokens and said he was not involved in the development other than supporting his friend. what would you say to people who say this is more of a pump and dump situation? aha, a pump and dump situation? lot of celebrities get a lot of pain from a lot of people. it

promote them and it appears logan and his guest both got their own tokens for him. they then asked for more tokens before releasing their podcasts and logan's followers then bought into the currency, causing the price of their own holdings to rise dramatically. shortly after, the price crashed. although we can't be sure what logan's intentions were, investigators said that the general trading around omi showed the components typically seenin showed the components typically seen in a pump and dump. and just two months after omi, behind closed doors, logan paul and his team began developing what would become cryptozoo — there nft trading card game. linked to their game was their own token, zoo token, which would be needed to buy the

cryptozoo eggs. but logan seemed keen to get a hold of these tokens before anyone else. these messages are from may 20, 2021, months before the public had heard about cryptozoo. they are private messages between team members including cryptozoo advisor jake greenbaum, the crypto king, logan paul, managerand lead developer. the team were discussing how they could get as yet unreleased tokens before the public. jake greenbaum suggested they could buy up the tokens early by accessing them in what is known as a liquidity pool — a store of tokens put aside to help the market if there are issues with it being traded but they appear to have been using a liquidity pool to launch the token in secret. accessing tokens before the public started buying. you have
