YouTuber Coffeezilla criticizes Andrew Tate for shifting from a crypto critic to endorsing meme coins, sparking controversy.
Coffeezilla Calls Out Andrew Tate for Crypto Flip-Flop
YouTuber Coffeezilla has sparked a heated debate with Andrew Tate over the latter’s sudden shift from a crypto skeptic to a meme coin promoter. Coffeezilla, whose real name is Stephen Findeisen, shared a clip showing Tate’s past critical remarks on cryptocurrency, where he dismissed the sector as unbeneficial for society.
Tate’s Past Views on Crypto
In previous interviews, Tate criticized cryptocurrency, claiming that it offered no real societal benefits. He is quoted saying, “Crypto is the only scenario I can think of where you can make a whole bunch of money while benefiting society zero.” Despite his harsh remarks, Tate now appears to be endorsing various meme coins, a move that Coffeezilla highlighted as contradictory.
Coffeezilla’s Investigation Into Tate’s Promotions
Coffeezilla’s investigation revealed Tate’s involvement in promoting several meme coins, many of which crashed shortly after his endorsements. One such project, “ROOST,” reportedly lost 90% of its value following Tate’s promotion. Another coin, “F Madonna token,” also suffered similar losses, raising questions about the influencer’s integrity.
The Real World Token Controversy
Coffeezilla also focused on Tate’s involvement with “Real World Token,” linked to Tate’s controversial online course, formerly known as Hustler’s University. According to the YouTuber, the token’s structure resembles a pyramid scheme, as subscribers earn “PowerPoints” that convert into tokens representing shares of the course’s profits. This type of model contrasts with Tate’s earlier stance against “rug pulls” and gambling in the crypto space.
Tate’s Legal Issues Add to the Scrutiny
Tate’s crypto involvement comes amid ongoing legal troubles. In 2022, he was arrested in Romania on charges related to human trafficking and organized crime. Both he and his brother, Tristan Tate, deny these allegations, but the case continues to attract international attention. Despite the controversies, Tate has maintained his stance as a public figure with over 10 million followers on X.
Coffeezilla’s Attempt to Contact Tate
In a YouTube video shared with his 3.8 million subscribers, Coffeezilla explained that he attempted to contact Tate for comments on his crypto promotions. Instead of receiving a response, Coffeezilla claims Tate leaked his email address, leading to harassment from Tate’s followers. Tate, in response, tweeted that influencing the market by pumping random coins is “super fun.”
Crypto Scandals Investigated by Coffeezilla
This isn’t the first time Coffeezilla has exposed crypto-related controversies. The YouTuber has a history of investigating scams, including the infamous Save the Kids Token promoted by members of the FaZe Clan. He has also called out other crypto schemes like BitConnect and SafeMoon, as well as financial gurus such as Grant Cardone and Tai Lopez.
Tate’s Shift Raises Concerns
The shift in Tate’s stance from crypto critic to promoter raises red flags in the cryptocurrency community. While Coffeezilla’s claims have yet to be proven, the debate highlights the need for transparency and accountability among public figures endorsing financial products.
