Logan Paul is under fire again, this time for allegedly trolling the BBC by sending a lookalike to respond to questions about his involvement in a crypto scam. Instead of showing up himself, the controversial influencer reportedly dispatched a stand-in who bore a striking resemblance to him but was clearly not Paul upon closer inspection.
The move came after Paul faced allegations of promoting a cryptocurrency project, which investors claim turned out to be a scam. Rather than addressing the issue head-on, Paul’s decision to send an impersonator left BBC reporters baffled and sparked outrage on social media. Many viewed the stunt as a blatant attempt to avoid accountability while mocking the serious nature of the allegations.
The incident has only added fuel to the fire, with critics accusing Paul of dodging responsibility for his alleged role in endorsing the project. Legal experts suggest that this behavior might worsen his case if lawsuits surrounding the scam proceed. Paul, known for his controversial antics, has yet to release a formal statement addressing the backlash.
Fans and detractors alike have been quick to condemn the prank, with many demanding transparency and accountability. This latest stunt might cement Paul’s reputation as a polarizing figure, but it’s unlikely to help him rebuild trust with those who feel duped by his crypto endorsements.
