Judge Recommends Dismissing Logan Paul’s Former Assistant from CryptoZoo Lawsuit

A U.S. magistrate judge has recommended dismissing Danielle Strobel, Logan Paul’s former assistant, from a class action lawsuit targeting the failed NFT project CryptoZoo. The court cited lack of personal jurisdiction, noting Strobel’s limited role as a 1% equity holder without public promotion of the project.

The lawsuit alleges Paul and co-defendants defrauded investors by marketing CryptoZoo NFTs and "Zoo Tokens" tied to an unlaunched play-to-earn game. Meanwhile, Paul’s defamation suit against YouTuber Coffeezilla—who exposed the project’s alleged fraud—proceeds separately.

The case underscores growing legal scrutiny of celebrity-backed crypto ventures, particularly those accused of misrepresenting utility or feasibility. No specific cryptocurrencies or exchanges were directly implicated in the ruling.
