YouTuber Coffeezilla is going back and forth over Andrew Tate’s transition from cryptocurrency commentator to meme coin promoter.
The YouTuber, whose real name is Stephen Findeisen, previously ran a clip of Tate describing himself as a cryptocurrency skeptic. Coffeezilla also cited a quote in which Tate appears to have no interest in releasing coins or exploiting fans.
“I love cryptocurrency Twitter. Because cryptocurrency Twitter is full of the biggest corrupt losers on the planet.” Tate once said that cryptocurrencies provide “zero” benefit to society. See below.
“Cryptocurrency is the only scenario where you can make a lot of money while benefiting society,” Tate said.
Tate, an avowed misogynist, has over 10 million followers.

According to Coffeezilla’s investigation, Tate subsequently promoted several meme coins that eventually crashed.
One of these projects is called “ROOST” and has been reduced by 90% since the Tate’s approval. The YouTuber mentioned that Tate’s ‘F Madonna Token’ promotion also achieved similar results.
This behavior is a stark departure from Tate’s previous statements about “gambling” and “rug pulling” in the cryptocurrency industry.
The investigation focused specifically on Tate’s involvement in “Real World Token,” which was linked to an online course formerly known as Hustler’s University.
The YouTuber describes the structure of the token as similar to a pyramid scheme, as described by Tate. Subscribers reportedly get “PowerPoints” that can be converted into tokens representing a portion of the school’s revenue.
In 2022, Tate was arrested in Romania on charges related to human trafficking and organized crime, which further increased his notoriety.
He and his brother Tristan have maintained their innocence, and his legal case remains the subject of international attention.
Coffeezilla attempted to contact Tate.
In a YouTube video shared with her 3.8 million subscribers, Coffeezilla said she attempted to get a response from Tate about these findings.
But he claimed that instead of responding to his inquiries, Tate leaked his email address and encouraged his followers to harass him.
In one of his recent tweets, Tate said that it would be a lot of fun to have the power to randomly pump coins on a chart. Additionally, in a separate tweet, he mentioned that he wants to pump everyone’s bags and give everyone money.
Tate also questions why more famous people don’t help everyone win. As of now, whatever claims Coffeezilla has made are unproven and remain allegations.
In the past, Coffeezilla has investigated several cryptocurrency scandals, including Save the Kids Token, a charity promoted by members of the Los Angeles-based FaZe Clan.
Coffeezilla has criticized several schemes, including BitConnect, SafeMoon, and various “financial experts” such as Grant Cardone and Tai Lopez.
