YouTuber Coffeezilla is in a back-and-forth spat with Andrew Tate over the latter’s flip-flop from crypto critic to meme coin promoter.
The YouTuber, whose real name is Stephen Findeisen, ran a clip of Tate, who previously portrayed himself as a crypto skeptic. Coffeezilla also pulled a quote from Tate where he seemingly expressed having no interest in launching coins or exploiting his fans.
“I just like to f— with crypto Twitter because crypto Twitter are full of the biggest degenerate losers on the planet,” Tate once said, saying crypto has “zero” benefit to society. See below.
“Crypto is the only scenario I can think of where you can make a whole bunch of money while benefiting society zero,” Tate stated.
Tate, who prides himself on being a misogynist, has over 10 million followers on X.
Coffeezilla takes a closer look
Coffeezilla’s investigation reveals that Tate has since promoted several meme coins that ultimately crashed.
One of those projects was called “ROOST,” which saw a 90% decline after Tate’s endorsement. The YouTuber also mentions Tate’s promotion of “F Madonna token,” which similarly performed poorly.
These actions are completely different from Tate’s earlier statements against “gambling” and “rug pulls” in the crypto space.
The investigation particularly focuses on Tate’s involvement with the “Real World Token,” linked to his online course formerly known as Hustler’s University.
The YouTuber describes the token’s structure, as explained by Tate, as resembling a pyramid scheme. Subscribers reportedly earn “PowerPoints” that can be converted into tokens representing a share of the school’s profits.
In 2022, Tate was arrested in Romania on charges related to human trafficking and organized crime, which further fueled his notoriety.
He and his brother Tristan have maintained their innocence, and his legal case has remained a subject of international interest.
Coffeezilla tried reaching out to Tate
Coffeezilla, in a YouTube video shared with 3.8 million subscribers, stated that he attempted to get Tate’s response to these findings.
However, he claims that instead of answering the inquiries, Tate leaked his email address and encouraged his followers to harass him.
In one of his recent tweets, Tate stated that having the power to randomly pump any coin on the chart is super fun. Additionally, in a separate tweet, he noted that he wants to pump everyone’s bags and give everyone money.
Tate also questions why more famous people don’t help everyone win. As of now, whatever claims that Coffeezilla made haven’t been proven and remain as allegations.
In the past, Coffeezilla investigated several crypto scandals, including the Save the Kids Token, a charity promoted by members of the Los Angeles-based FaZe Clan.
Coffeezilla has called out a number of alleged schemes, including BitConnect, SafeMoon and various “financial gurus,” such as Grant Cardone and Tai Lopez.
