Notable YouTuber Coffeezilla has conducted a thorough investigation into the purported cryptocurrency controversies surrounding the popular creator known as MrBeast. His findings have struck a chord, with Coffeezilla declaring, “It sounds horrible, it looks horrible, it is horrible.”
James Stephen “Jimmy” Donaldson, who has captured the hearts of millions as MrBeast, recently reached a significant milestone by becoming the first individual on YouTube to surpass 300 million subscribers. However, the landscape has shifted dramatically for him in recent months, with various scandals making headlines.
MrBeast’s partnership with Logan Paul and KSI for their venture Lunchly has drawn criticism over concerns about contaminated food products. Furthermore, accusations of fostering a toxic company culture leading to the exploitation of young staffers have sparked significant outcry. Most troubling are the allegations related to participation in ‘pump and dump’ cryptocurrency schemes.
In his investigation, Coffeezilla critically assessed the legitimacy of these claims, labeling them as “wrong, stupid, and unethical.” He emphasized the potential legal implications, contingent on proving MrBeast’s direct involvement.

The SuperVerse Controversy
Coffeezilla alleges that MrBeast significantly profited from the SuperVerse (formerly SuperFarm) cryptocurrency, making upwards of $10 million from an initial investment of $100,000. According to the investigation, this windfall was allegedly gained through the promotion of the coin by MrBeast, followed by a strategic sell-off.
Evidence presented includes leaked communications between MrBeast and the SuperVerse founder as well as records from a crypto wallet that reportedly connects to MrBeast’s transactions. Coffeezilla asserts, “We have leaked screenshots showing Mr. Beast telling Super’s founder that he can do $100K,” and supports this with details of a substantial wallet transaction tied to the presale of SuperVerse tokens.
When pressed for comment, MrBeast attributed the trading and management to an investment fund led by a certain Jason A. Williams. However, Coffeezilla expressed skepticism, stating, “It’s difficult to believe that MrBeast is completely unaware of these operations.” He raised crucial questions about MrBeast’s knowledge of these transactions and communications.
Involvement with Ethernity Chain
Contrasting with the SuperVerse case, MrBeast has not been directly linked to the token Ethernity ($ERN), according to Coffeezilla. Conversations with the token’s founder revealed that it was MrBeast’s fund, known as Rocket Fund, that was involved in the presale acquisition of tokens exceeding $100,000.
While MrBeast promoted Ethernity on social media, Coffeezilla highlighted concerns regarding his involvement in a charity auction for #TeamSeas that accepted Ethernity during a spike in token prices. Coffeezilla stated, “Selling tokens within a month of your charity auction gives the impression of crossing ethical lines, regardless of intent.”
Cryptocurrency Ties with XCAD
Another dimension of concern involves the XCAD token, where despite MrBeast not promoting it through his usual channels, his presence in the presale generated a favorable buzz around the token. Coffeezilla noted that various articles highlighted MrBeast’s association with the presale, further driving anticipation and sales.
Discussions with XCAD’s founder, Oliver Bell, revealed that there was considerable liquidation from a wallet associated with MrBeast’s team. Bell refrained from directly implicating MrBeast but pointed to the management of Rocket Fund as the source of confusion and potential negligence.
Coffeezilla, however, posited a more critical view, arguing, “It’s evident they seized the opportunity to capitalize on MrBeast’s influential brand.” This raised significant questions about whether MrBeast was complicit in a strategy that illuminated many ethical issues in his crypto dealings.
With ongoing scrutiny and unanswered questions regarding the depth of MrBeast’s involvement in these cryptocurrency ventures, Coffeezilla remarked, “The critical issue lies in whether MrBeast is aware of his team’s activities.” He emphasized the necessity for clarity, especially when evaluating the morality and legality of these financial maneuvers.
In conclusion, the broader implications of these investigations could impact the way influencers engage with cryptocurrencies, illustrating the need for transparency and ethics in the digital finance arena.
