Crypto YouTuber Coffeezilla has received a wave of abusive emails from angry Andrew Tate fans after he quizzed the alleged human trafficker on his sketchy crypto endorsements.

Coffeezilla began receiving the messages just hours after attempting to enquire about a series of crypto projects Tate has promoted, including $VENOM, $DADDY, and the reportedly hacked $ROOST coin.

He also asked Tate about his attempts to get his The Real World coin ($TRW) regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) despite him previously tweeting, “SEC come for me, there’s no SEC in Romania, we’re scammers.” 

This line of questioning clearly rubbed Tate the wrong way. He promptly uploaded a dramatic and rambling video response in which he implies that Coffezilla is investigating memecoins going up and down, and even shouts “I’m loved, nobody likes you, nobody’s scared of your fucking investigations, your emails sound gay.”

“I asked Andrew Tate about his crypto scams and I think he sent the ‘War Room’ after me,” tweeted the YouTuber. He then posted a screenshot of Tate asking his followers to call him “gay” in emails. 

Many of the emails subsequently aimed at Coffeezilla do indeed use a raft of homophobic slurs — in between promoting Tate’s $DADDY crypto.

At one point, Tate suggests he “accidentally leaked” Coffeezilla’s email. Despite this, he immediately claims he “regrets nothing I’ve ever done,” and later encourages his followers to send more abusive emails. 

“Once I bust this case for sex trafficking, keep your fucking sister, mother, away from me or they’ll end up working,” Tate said. Needless to say, his video failed to answer any of Coffeezilla’s questions.

According to TechLead, a.k.a Patrick Shyu, the ‘ex-Google, ex-Meta tech lead’ who started a successful YouTube career after leaving Facebook, he’s been taking down any videos that are critical of his behavior by falsely claiming copyright violations.

Shyu, who once launched a cryptocurrency by lying to users about how it was being bootstrapped, has seen his profile diminish since being exposed by fellow YouTube creator Coffeezilla three years ago.

But making false promises and running off with a significant profit from a crypto project only to never mention it again hasn’t stopped him from constantly posting on YouTube. Indeed, since his failed crypto launch, he’s released a series of pessimistic videos, with titles ranging from Why Coding is Dead to AGI Achieved It’s Over. He’s also posted at least six videos claiming that he’s either quitting or retiring from both tech and YouTube.

He doesn’t appear to have done either.

Not the first time

While this is absolutely the first time that TechLead has publicly admitted to abusing the DMCA system, it isn’t the first time he’s tried to have well-known video exposés taken down. He even stated in a now-deleted video that he, “tends to copyright strike down any exposé videos” because he wants to know who is behind them.

Years ago, after Coffeezilla covered TechLead’s Million Token scam, TechLead called Coffeezilla racist, attempted to dox him, and sent out copyright takedown claims to other creators covering the topic.

YouTube channel getting rekt

Though TechLead has deleted the video in which he admitted to abusing the DMCA copyright takedown system, that isn’t the only video he’s deleted. According to the social analytics website SocialBlade, TechLead has deleted dozens of videos over the past few days, losing millions and millions of views seemingly overnight. This has taken his channel from a B- rating to a D- rating.

Protos asked YouTube how it intends to respond to false DMCA takedown claims and was told that “False claims and misuse of the removal request webform when someone submits a copyright removal request can result in the suspension of an account or other legal consequences.” It’s unclear if YouTube will suspend or take legal action against TechLead.

It’s worth pointing out that TechLead’s Million Token is down over 99% from all-time highs reached in July of 2021.
