00:00:00
how badly does a self-proclaimed
00:00:01
millionaire Tech YouTuber have to mess
00:00:04
up to not just end up on coffee zilla's
00:00:06
hit list but completely destroy his
00:00:08
career with just one video I bet that if
00:00:10
I were to get arrested and go to jail
00:00:12
the price of million token would
00:00:14
Skyrocket it ended the guy's career it
00:00:16
destroyed his reputation more
00:00:18
importantly what would drive a once
00:00:20
credible and wholesome member of the
00:00:22
YouTube Tech Community to throw his
00:00:24
entire career away for a quick buck and
00:00:27
why would he make everything worse by
00:00:29
attacking coffee zill
00:00:30
hi I'm the internet Anarchist I create
00:00:32
weekly YouTube documentaries and today
00:00:35
we'll be looking over the Dreadful
00:00:36
demise of one of YouTube's most infamous
00:00:38
Tech channels Tech lead a man who let
00:00:41
his ego and greed get the better of him
00:00:43
in the worst way possible Tech lead AKA
00:00:46
Patrick Shu started his YouTube journey
00:00:48
in 2016 he focused his videos on his
00:00:51
experience as a Google employee however
00:00:54
his connection to YouTube was deeper
00:00:56
than most since he was the tech lead for
00:00:58
YouTube's iPhone app back then Patrick
00:01:00
gave his viewers a unique glimpse into
00:01:02
life at a prestigious tech company
00:01:04
through his Daya life videos cool things
00:01:06
about working at Google is that you have
00:01:08
access to every one of their offices in
00:01:11
the world I see co-workers taking a trip
00:01:13
maybe to New York or to some other
00:01:15
country so let's check it out I wanted
00:01:16
to show it to you guys and he offered
00:01:18
technical advice in which programming
00:01:20
languages aspiring software Engineers
00:01:22
should learn to enhance their skills the
00:01:24
most important thing is to always keep
00:01:25
learning here's the key answer think of
00:01:28
the companies that you want to work work
00:01:30
for and go to their job's website and
00:01:32
look up what requirements they're asking
00:01:34
for while a majority of Patrick's
00:01:36
content was professional in nature there
00:01:38
were times when he didn't take himself
00:01:40
too seriously and showed a more jval
00:01:42
side um the feedback has been uh fairly
00:01:45
negative up to this point are you sure
00:01:47
you want to waste my time with this I
00:01:49
just want to make sure that we're using
00:01:51
our time productively uh I value your
00:01:53
time what's uh so what uh what what what
00:01:56
is this supposed to be here Patrick's
00:01:58
unparalleled insight into the tech World
00:02:00
dead pen demeanor and occasional comedic
00:02:02
Outburst drw was in by the tens of
00:02:04
thousands some looked at him as a useful
00:02:07
resource for furthering their Tech
00:02:08
careers While others simply enjoyed a
00:02:11
strange mannerisms on camera but the
00:02:13
unifying Factor behind the community
00:02:15
Patrick built was his simple yet
00:02:16
unorthodox approach to Tech content
00:02:19
unfortunately Patrick's time as a Google
00:02:21
employee would come to an end sometime
00:02:23
in
00:02:24
2017 which later forced him to find
00:02:26
employment at Facebook in May of 2018
00:02:29
how however due to reasons that will be
00:02:31
made clear later in the video Patrick
00:02:33
would be fired from Facebook a little
00:02:35
over a year later out of a job and
00:02:37
stripped from the titles at once to find
00:02:39
him Patrick was forced to seek other
00:02:41
Revenue sources and decided his YouTube
00:02:43
Community was his best bet he was very
00:02:45
aware of the impact his content had on
00:02:47
aspiring engineers and sought to
00:02:49
monetize his audience in every way
00:02:51
possible despite no longer having his
00:02:53
prestigious job title at Google that
00:02:55
didn't stop him from using it to boost
00:02:57
his various marketing efforts Patrick
00:02:59
started by by en listing all his early
00:03:01
Vlogs and began selling the first season
00:03:03
for $20 when I first started making my
00:03:06
YouTube channel I talked about all sorts
00:03:08
of different topics and later on I would
00:03:10
take down these videos while there was
00:03:12
technically nothing wrong with him
00:03:13
monetizing his old catalog this would
00:03:16
serve as the first step in Tech lead's
00:03:17
journey to squeeze every single penny
00:03:19
out of his viewers in the following
00:03:21
months Tech lead shifted his content
00:03:23
from purely educational to marketing
00:03:25
videos GE towards showing off how
00:03:27
wealthy he was as a software developer a
00:03:29
key indicator of the shift on priorities
00:03:32
was the addition of as a millionaire in
00:03:33
the title of his videos and the
00:03:35
promotion of different training programs
00:03:37
in the description of his videos back
00:03:39
then no one had thought twice about
00:03:41
Patrick's ever increasing push to
00:03:42
monetize his viewers since he had built
00:03:45
up a reputation as a down-to-earth
00:03:46
engineer with his prior Vlogs sadly
00:03:49
Patrick's reputation was about to take a
00:03:51
turn for the worst as someone in this
00:03:53
community decided to take a closer look
00:03:55
at what exactly he was promoting on the
00:03:57
8th of November 2019 a YouTuber by the
00:04:00
name of Tren black published a video
00:04:02
titled Tech lead and jch the worst of
00:04:05
the tech industry which meant to
00:04:06
Showcase and criticize the unsavory
00:04:09
parts of tech lead's businesses do you
00:04:10
want to learn how to become a sellout as
00:04:12
an ex Google X Facebook ex married
00:04:16
millionaire Tech lead this man sells
00:04:18
snake oil with enough affiliate
00:04:20
marketing to set off an ad Walker I used
00:04:22
to watch a lot of J Tech I mean I even
00:04:24
sent him this email but times have
00:04:26
change and today I'll show you why J
00:04:28
tech tech lead and their products are
00:04:31
utter garbage Tren went on to expose how
00:04:33
Tech lead and gerch had teamed up to
00:04:35
copy the product of their former sponsor
00:04:38
algo expert while offering an inferior
00:04:40
product it's been brought to our
00:04:42
attention that for the past week or so
00:04:45
there's been this domain out there that
00:04:47
is using the algoexpert brand but that
00:04:51
isn't algoexpert.io
00:04:53
and when you type that domain or URL in
00:04:56
your browser you get redirected to some
00:05:00
completely different website that we are
00:05:02
in no way affiliated to however Trends
00:05:05
issues wenten with the plagiarism but
00:05:07
with the fact that we're only reviewing
00:05:09
questions from late CS CD's website and
00:05:11
charging people $100 for it my problem
00:05:15
is that if you're going to [ __ ] people
00:05:17
out of $100 couldn't you guys at least
00:05:19
make something that would help them so
00:05:21
their product if you don't know is
00:05:23
basically an explanation of 50 popular
00:05:25
interview questions which doesn't sound
00:05:27
too bad that sounds like a decent
00:05:28
product but let's check it out to the
00:05:30
first problem here yep so if we look at
00:05:32
the screen here it's a validate binary
00:05:34
Searcher see right off the bat these
00:05:36
questions are just stolen straight from
00:05:38
lead code the problems didn't stop there
00:05:40
as Tren pointed out the Absurd
00:05:42
conditions in Tech lead's refund policy
00:05:45
let's look at this refund policy if you
00:05:47
are dissatisfied for any reason we offer
00:05:49
a 14-day refund period for purchases if
00:05:51
less than 40% of the total course
00:05:53
material has been view however in order
00:05:54
to qualify for a refund you must submit
00:05:56
proof that you did the work in the
00:05:57
course and it did not work for you no
00:05:59
notice how they kind of trap you into
00:06:01
this impossible scenario so you must
00:06:03
submit proof that you actually did the
00:06:05
work in the course so if you don't do
00:06:07
the course no refund how do you prove
00:06:10
that do you literally have to get
00:06:11
rejected from an interview while tren's
00:06:13
criticism of the course was mild at best
00:06:15
and could have easily been solved
00:06:17
Patrick decided to take a vastly
00:06:19
different approach and filed a false
00:06:21
copyright strike to silence the critic
00:06:23
by the 12th of November 2019 Tren would
00:06:26
make a follow-up video to let viewers
00:06:28
know why the first video was Tak taken
00:06:29
down around 400 up vots I start getting
00:06:32
a lot of messages and comments on my
00:06:33
email on my Instagram on Reddit that
00:06:35
says dude Tech lead copyright strike due
00:06:38
so I check and I go back to my video and
00:06:40
it says your video has been removed due
00:06:43
to a copyright strike from Patrick Shu
00:06:45
also known as the tech lead Tren also
00:06:47
shared a message he received from
00:06:49
Patrick that boardline threatened him to
00:06:51
quote not make enemies I received a
00:06:53
message from Tech lead himself Tech lead
00:06:56
here a bit of friendly advice don't
00:06:58
create enemies it doesn't do you me or
00:07:01
our community any good regarding Clement
00:07:03
and me it's such a mess I'd rather not
00:07:04
air our dirty laundry in the public to
00:07:06
mostly uninterested people it was mostly
00:07:08
a boring story and we're friends and
00:07:09
competitors along with presenting a now
00:07:11
deleted comment that Patrick left on his
00:07:13
former sponsors video Tren stated that
00:07:15
it was blatantly trying to offer a
00:07:17
sponsorship deal in exchange for his
00:07:19
silence anyway I think you have a nice
00:07:21
YouTube channel I checked out a few
00:07:22
videos and there's great potential let
00:07:24
me know if you ever want to be an
00:07:26
affiliate for Tech series and help
00:07:27
improve people's lives instead of
00:07:29
spending time criticizing we do 50%
00:07:31
Revenue shared and would love to have
00:07:32
your channel on board if you're
00:07:33
interested he is essentially offering to
00:07:36
pay me in order for me to stop making
00:07:38
negative opinions about him in his
00:07:41
response Patrick would flat out lie
00:07:42
about not being able to retract a
00:07:44
copyright strike and would attempt to
00:07:45
justify his horrible business practices
00:07:47
by saying no one else in the industry
00:07:49
could offer the same insight as he did
00:07:51
reading I can't retract a copyright
00:07:53
strike I recommend if you wish to
00:07:55
criticize me simply remove the imagery
00:07:57
of me and reupload the knowledge I have
00:07:59
have to share is something almost no one
00:08:01
in the industry will do have a good one
00:08:03
and let me know if you ever want to
00:08:04
promote our stuff instead of taking a
00:08:06
hard look at the subp parkour he was
00:08:08
selling Patrick was fixated on the
00:08:10
financial gain and his status as an ex
00:08:12
gooogle developer he had zero tolerance
00:08:14
for criticism and would go to any length
00:08:16
to sweep it under the rug even going as
00:08:18
far as deleting negative reviews on his
00:08:20
subreddit I got this comment from
00:08:22
someone who actually bought and paid for
00:08:24
algo Pro too long didn't read it just
00:08:26
says that algopro sucks but what struck
00:08:28
me as interesting is his first sentence
00:08:30
here he said he posted it on the
00:08:31
techlead subreddit but it was then
00:08:34
removed now Tech lead's the moderator of
00:08:36
that subreddit so it's clear to me that
00:08:38
he removed this review simply because it
00:08:41
was negative even though it was
00:08:43
completely honest so I can only conclude
00:08:45
that the reason he removed my video was
00:08:47
because it was a negative review working
00:08:49
at a lar tech company inflated Patrick's
00:08:51
ego to a point that no form of negative
00:08:53
criticism was valid and everyone that he
00:08:55
came across owed him the highest level
00:08:57
of respect just take a look at the
00:08:59
comment he left on a Channel of someone
00:09:00
he called a friend let me reply to this
00:09:03
whole domain issue Clement got greedy
00:09:05
and decreased the affiliate commission
00:09:06
percentage in any case stop being a
00:09:08
crybaby this is nothing personal we just
00:09:10
helped a student land triple offers at
00:09:12
Facebook Google and apple through our
00:09:14
mentoring and don't forget respect the
00:09:16
tech lead fortunately for Tren Patrick
00:09:19
would see reason and remove the
00:09:20
copyright strike on his channel but
00:09:22
sadly that wasn't the end of their
00:09:24
interaction on the 29th of April 2020
00:09:27
Tren made yet another video feature
00:09:29
Patrick but this time the issue wasn't a
00:09:32
copyright strike it was doxing I wanted
00:09:34
to inform you that I will be responding
00:09:36
to your serious and false allegations by
00:09:38
publishing a social media post calling
00:09:40
you out I will use both our full names
00:09:42
so we're not hiding behind anomy
00:09:44
remember techlead only has my full name
00:09:46
and my information because he falsely
00:09:47
copyright stried me right it's
00:09:49
understandable if you want to defend
00:09:50
yourself online but I really hope you
00:09:51
don't release my name online I've kept
00:09:53
this private for a reason I have my face
00:09:55
in my video so clearly I'm not Anonymous
00:09:58
so then he just goes on a huge test
00:09:59
engent and basically says I'm going to
00:10:01
dox you if you don't take your video
00:10:03
down good luck while Patrick didn't
00:10:05
follow through with the post he added
00:10:07
IND doxing Tren by giving his full legal
00:10:09
name to another Creator he criticized
00:10:11
Matt TR apparently Matt wanted to
00:10:13
revenge on Tren for making a critical
00:10:15
video about him and reached out to
00:10:17
Patrick for his details after a series
00:10:19
of threats Matt released trend's details
00:10:21
in an article geared towards ruining his
00:10:23
reputation and future job opportunities
00:10:26
Patrick's actions jeopardized a fellow
00:10:28
Creator's career Prospect making it
00:10:29
nearly impossible for Tren to fight back
00:10:31
alone thankfully Tren had a really good
00:10:34
friend willing to back him up
00:10:35
coffeezilla hey guys wanted to make a
00:10:37
short video um to speak up for a friend
00:10:41
of mine who's been
00:10:42
silenced and doxed and blackmailed and
00:10:47
threatened by two YouTubers who are much
00:10:50
bigger than him and I feel like he
00:10:52
doesn't have the platform to defend
00:10:54
himself both in terms of his audience
00:10:56
reach and in terms of the fact that
00:10:58
anytime he posts a video it's
00:11:00
immediately copyright stried Coffey
00:11:03
would go to state his role in trying to
00:11:04
prevent the docking and confirmed that
00:11:06
Patrick was responsible for the entire
00:11:08
situation unfolding the way it did I
00:11:10
asked Matt Tran if this is indeed where
00:11:12
he got the information from let me ask
00:11:15
you did did uh Tech lead get or did you
00:11:19
get the name from Tech lead yeah yeah to
00:11:22
add insult to injury now Trin black is
00:11:25
put in a position where his full name
00:11:27
has been doxed due to YouTube's absurd
00:11:30
copyright system due to Tech lead's
00:11:33
absurd abuse of the system but now now
00:11:36
after posting a video about it that
00:11:39
video was then falsely taken down by
00:11:41
Tech lead the video that trim black
00:11:44
posted had zero footage of techlead in
00:11:47
it and guess what tech lead claimed that
00:11:50
video so no one can see it coffe zilla's
00:11:52
video would go into become a catalyst
00:11:54
for more people hearing about the story
00:11:56
which forced Patrick to retract his
00:11:57
copyright strikes and Matt to give an
00:11:59
apology however Patrick wouldn't be so
00:12:02
humble as to recognize the error of his
00:12:04
ways and made a video titled my response
00:12:07
addressing my haters as a millionaire
00:12:09
Trend black mat TR drama I can come up
00:12:12
here and give this amazing speech that
00:12:14
would totally justify my existence and
00:12:16
make me look like this pure innocent
00:12:18
Angel but I have a feeling that my
00:12:20
haters are still not going to accept
00:12:22
that some people they just don't like
00:12:24
the way I look it's a personal thing
00:12:25
they just don't like my appearance maybe
00:12:28
I remind them of somebody who round them
00:12:29
in the past maybe they're jealous of My
00:12:31
Success or jealous of my failures and
00:12:33
there are a lot of people out there who
00:12:34
are simply racist from the start Patrick
00:12:37
saw nothing wrong with his toxic
00:12:38
behavior and framed the hate he
00:12:40
rightfully received as racism say
00:12:42

video after another 7 Minutes of
00:13:47
stroking his ego Patrick would finally
00:13:49
address the doxing and sadly it was more
00:13:52
of the same but anyways I did want to
00:13:54
quickly address the whole TR Black Matt
00:13:56
TR drama I don't know if you've been
00:13:58
caught up with this but you the story is
00:14:00
essentially that Tren black has been
00:14:01
accusing Matt Tran of doxing him and
00:14:03
somehow my name got dragged into all of
00:14:05
this his whole channel is based on
00:14:06
roasting other people his two biggest
00:14:07
videos have been on roasting me trolling
00:14:09
me and I believe that he basically just
00:14:11
dragged my name into this mess because
00:14:13
he knew that my channel was bigger I
00:14:15
have more subscribers people don't
00:14:17
really know who Matt Tran is if he wants
00:14:19
the views he needs to come after me zero
00:14:21
accountability self-awareness or regard
00:14:23
for his audience and critics these
00:14:25
scumbag qualities had gotten Patrick on
00:14:27
coffee zala's radar once and and it was
00:14:29
about to happen again for the second
00:14:31
time unfortunately for Patrick he
00:14:33
wouldn't get away scotf free this time
00:14:35
on the 1st of July
00:14:36
2021 Patrick would publish a video
00:14:39
announcing his latest money-making
00:14:40
opportunity million token a
00:14:42
cryptocurrency he claimed would go to
00:14:44
the Moon today marks the start of a
00:14:46
brand new Journey for you for me for all
00:14:49
of us I'm glad you could join us because
00:14:51
today we are launching a brand new
00:14:54
digital currency the currency's name
00:14:57
million token and so million token is
00:14:59
literally a million doll opportunity I'm
00:15:02
putting a million dollars of my own
00:15:03
money into this to get it started but
00:15:05
this coin can Skyrocket in price it can
00:15:07
take us to the moon so what is million
00:15:09
token what's the concept well it's like
00:15:12
this million token is much like a stable
00:15:15
coin one token equals $1 us per million
00:15:18
token the supply is fixed there's only 1
00:15:21
million tokens total worldwide no more
00:15:23
can ever be created as guaranteed by the
00:15:25
smart contract code Patrick would go in
00:15:27
to make even more bold claims about the
00:15:29
future of million token and desperately
00:15:31
try to sell viewers on the potential
00:15:33
value of this coin the token start at an
00:15:36
initial minimum base value of one token
00:15:38
equals $1 us but the value can actually
00:15:41
rise higher than that because there's
00:15:43
only a total limited fixed supply of a
00:15:46
million tokens total no more can ever be
00:15:48
created Patrick was banking on the claim
00:15:50
that his tokens already had a $1
00:15:52
valuation to incentivize viewers into
00:15:54
buying and promoting the coin to inflate
00:15:55
the value there was Zero utility behind
00:15:58
the token and Patrick knew it that's why
00:16:00
he was more focused on the upside if
00:16:02
viewers were gullible enough to pay for
00:16:03
it is this a decent store of value and I
00:16:06
would say well yes it seems like it is
00:16:09
because it is a fixed total Max Supply
00:16:11
just 1 million tokens you cannot create
00:16:13
more and so the token is deflationary in
00:16:16
nature and over time its scarcity should
00:16:19
only increase thus increasing the value
00:16:21
of the coin while there was some viewers
00:16:23
that believed Patrick's claims without
00:16:25
any critical consideration others were
00:16:27
more skeptical with with comments
00:16:29
reading so you're scamming does this
00:16:31
coin create value or just make you rich
00:16:34
as well as remember this video this is a
00:16:36
point you're going down in the video
00:16:38
description Patrick left a link to the
00:16:40
million token website and audience
00:16:42
members who took the time to look
00:16:44
through were greeted by a very telling
00:16:46
disclaimer million token is a social
00:16:48
experiment by purchasing million token
00:16:50
you agree that you are not purchasing a
00:16:52
security or investment contract and you
00:16:54
agree to hold the team harmless and not
00:16:56
liable for any losses or taxes you may
00:16:58
incur by Patrick's own admission the
00:17:00
million token wasn't a viable Financial
00:17:02
opportunity or store of value but that
00:17:04
reality didn't stop people from putting
00:17:06
their hard- earned money on the line
00:17:08
within the first two weeks of the token
00:17:10
going live the price sold over
00:17:12
$250 with a trading volume of more than
00:17:14
120 million in the short term people
00:17:17
were blinded by the potential to turn a
00:17:19
quick profit however in the long term
00:17:21
the only person that would make that
00:17:23
profit was Patrick and Killa was about
00:17:26
to prove it on the 7th of August 2012 21
00:17:29
coffeezilla would return to expose
00:17:31
Patrick's latest scam with the video
00:17:33
titled Tech lead scammed you with
00:17:35
million token as a millionaire let's
00:17:37
talk about tech lead's million token
00:17:40
what is it what does it do who's it
00:17:41
helping I'm going to walk you through
00:17:43
all of it and also not to give too much
00:17:45
away but I will at the end of this video
00:17:47
also crunch the numbers and show you
00:17:49
exactly how much money Tech lead has
00:17:51
made with this coin and the answer is
00:17:53
millions of dollars to give viewers a
00:17:54
comprehensive scope of what exactly was
00:17:56
going on coffeezilla outlined what
00:17:58
million token was and how Patrick
00:18:00
blatantly lied to his audience while
00:18:02
promoting it he made it sound like he
00:18:04
was really investing in this coin but
00:18:06
the reality was there was never a chance
00:18:07
he could lose money number two he was
00:18:10
careful with his words to avoid calling
00:18:11
this an investment but also makes it
00:18:13
sound like you'll get rich three he's
00:18:16
been siphoning money into shell accounts
00:18:18
and four he's been running ads in which
00:18:19
he lies about this cryptocurrency coffee
00:18:21
went on to provide proof that Patrick
00:18:23
never invested a million doar into the
00:18:25
token in fact Patrick had only put
00:18:27
$50,000 into the project while using
00:18:30
money from buys to make up the
00:18:31
difference from the blockchain that Tech
00:18:34
lead did not put a million dollar into
00:18:36
this in actual fact he started with the
00:18:39
entire Supply this is million token he
00:18:41
was given the entire Supply at the very
00:18:44
launch he didn't pay for it instead as
00:18:47
he sold million token he used that money
00:18:50
that you guys bought it with to back the
00:18:53
coins the premise behind Patrick's
00:18:54
so-called opportunity was a bold-faced
00:18:56
lie but even that was only the tip of
00:18:59
the iceberg to further push his scam
00:19:01
token to a wider audience petrog Grant
00:19:03
adds to promote million token while
00:19:05
refusing to disclose he was the one who
00:19:07
created the coin he got an ad for
00:19:10
million token. org which featured Tech
00:19:13
lead's video Shilling it and what's
00:19:15
shocking about this besides the fact
00:19:17
that he's advertising his own channel
00:19:19
and this coin is that he never discloses
00:19:22
in the video that he created the coin
00:19:25
instead he pitches it as if he just
00:19:27
found it randomly coffee continued by
00:19:29
exposing just how much Patrick had taken
00:19:31
from the audience so I traced all the
00:19:33
transactions this guy made in a big
00:19:35
spreadsheet um and then just categorized
00:19:37
who they were to who they were from this
00:19:39
is for all the usdc pools the
00:19:41
multi-million token pools and according
00:19:43
to my calculations Tech lead has pulled
00:19:46
out and siphoned into a bunch of shell
00:19:48
accounts a total of
00:19:50
$3.3 million after discovering the truth
00:19:53
behind million token coffeezilla would
00:19:55
confront Patrick on his dubious claims
00:19:58
and had to say so the first part is he
00:20:00
confirms that he did just put in $50,000
00:20:04
he later says I'm putting a million
00:20:06
dollars of my own money into this to get
00:20:07
it started that he believed he deployed
00:20:09
another 50,000 but this was from what
00:20:11
you guys spent on million tokens so that
00:20:14
is confirmed Patrick defended his scheme
00:20:16
by claiming the community was valuable
00:20:18
and therefore not a Ponzi scheme is this
00:20:21
a Ponzi scheme it depends on whether you
00:20:23
think the community has value if you
00:20:26
think marketing community and brand have
00:20:27
no value then certainly this would be
00:20:30
Zero Sum wow but I think you can just
00:20:33
look at Coca-Cola or Nike and see that
00:20:35
brands do have value hey those brands
00:20:37
have products guys now you think after
00:20:39
getting exposed for lying manipulating
00:20:42
and stealing from his audience that
00:20:44
Patrick would at least keep his mouth
00:20:45
shut unfortunately his pride and disdain
00:20:48
for criticism wouldn't allow that as he
00:20:50
retaliated in the most vindictive way
00:20:52
possible by the 11th of August 2021
00:20:55
coffeezilla covered Patrick's now
00:20:57
deleted response video as well as going
00:20:59
over how he got doxed and was called
00:21:01
racist ladies and gentlemen Tech has
00:21:04
responded brace yourselves he's gone
00:21:06
full damage control panic mode including
00:21:09
calling me racist for exposing his scam
00:21:13
in his typical fashion Patrick deflected
00:21:15
criticism by saying other people were
00:21:17
complaining and being victims he goes
00:21:19
around basically calling project scams
00:21:21
and maybe he generates some good press
00:21:23
for himself he virtue signals and then
00:21:25
people think that he's a hero for
00:21:26
calling everything a scam life is a scam
00:21:28
okay he's a hero this is really just
00:21:30
victim mentality thankfully Patrick
00:21:32
would admit that he lied about the
00:21:33
initial investment in million token and
00:21:36
you know to clarify okay when I started
00:21:38
the project I bootstrapped with 50,000
00:21:41
USD coins paired to 50,000 million
00:21:44
tokens that's exactly what I said so
00:21:46
he's admitting it he did not put in a
00:21:48
million dollars of his own money he used
00:21:51
your money however that was the only
00:21:53
responsible thing Patrick did throughout
00:21:55
the video as he spent the rest of it
00:21:56
virtue signaling and putting him on a
00:21:59
pedestal and so it's kind of like genas
00:22:01
Khan Napoleon or Captain Blackbeard
00:22:03
these iconic historical figures and you
00:22:05
know some of these people were even
00:22:07
villains sure you could say that Captain
00:22:09
Blackbeard was a scammer he even killed
00:22:11
people and yet they are legends in
00:22:13
history and there is a value with these
00:22:15
people the delusion didn't stop there as
00:22:17
Patrick assumed facing any consequences
00:22:19
for his actions would raise the value of
00:22:21
million token and make him a legend I
00:22:24
bet that if I were to get arrested and
00:22:26
go to jail the price of million token
00:22:28
would Skyrocket because it would just be
00:22:31
legendary coffee Zilla would close out
00:22:32
the video by exposing how vengeful
00:22:34
Patrick was to dock him by posting
00:22:36
already debunked information on Twitter
00:22:39
oh and uh I almost forgot like yeah he
00:22:41
also tried to dox me yeah almost left
00:22:44
that out of this piece using an old
00:22:46
debunk piece of blackmail that we talked
00:22:48
about in this video remember this is the
00:22:50
thing swag Academy tried to catch me out
00:22:52
on but uh retracted immediately because
00:22:54
it's literal blackmail and a doc the way
00:22:57
Patrick reacted to Coffee zill video was
00:22:59
identical to what he did with Tren black
00:23:01
blackmailing slandering and doxing
00:23:03
someone who presents genuine criticism
00:23:05
all the while making himself out to be
00:23:07
the hero shortly after coffee zilla's
00:23:09
exposed videos viewers began waking up
00:23:11
to just how deceptive Patrick was but it
00:23:14
was already too late the price of
00:23:16
million token had dropped by over 80%
00:23:19
and as of this recording it sits at a
00:23:21
price of
00:23:22
$1.5 slowly but surely Patrick's once
00:23:25
loyal audience began losing interest in
00:23:27
his channels and stopped watching his
00:23:28
content as the views dwindled his
00:23:30
subscribe account stagnated and dislikes
00:23:33
increased Patrick decided to make an
00:23:35
exit by deleting a majority of his
00:23:37
previous uploads however YouTube
00:23:39
wouldn't be the only place Patrick would
00:23:41
lose all credibility in May of 2022
00:23:44
Patrick would make a series of unhinged
00:23:46
tweets about his time interviewing
00:23:48
people at Google reading so when I used
00:23:50
to conduct interviews for Google I
00:23:52
rejected all women on the spot and
00:23:53
trashed their resumés in front of them
00:23:55
it didn't take long for the statement to
00:23:57
make headlines and for most Silicon
00:23:59
Valley companies to Blacklist him
00:24:01
Patrick started out as a positive and
00:24:02
relatable figure in the tech space
00:24:04
freely giving out valuable insight and
00:24:06
advice to younger developers now he's
00:24:09
telling them that they're nothing but
00:24:10
grunt workers if they pursue that line
00:24:12
of work software engineering ultimately
00:24:14
is kind of a it's not exactly High
00:24:16
status work High status work would be
00:24:18
the type of job that you would want to
00:24:20
do even if you were Rich something like
00:24:22
say directing a movie being an actor
00:24:25
maybe being a novelist or a painter
00:24:27
something that would get you some social
00:24:28
credibility money status and his pride
00:24:31
were the only things that mattered to
00:24:32
Patrick and he was willing to throw
00:24:34
everything away for that sadly money is
00:24:36
the only thing he has left since no one
00:24:38
else is willing to touch his brand or
00:24:40
name with a 10-ft pole
