Logan Paul sent in a lookalike to handle an interview with BBC regarding questions over his dealings in cryptocurrency.
In the upcoming BBC documentary, Logan Paul: Bad Influence?, journalist Matt Shea was supposed to interview Paul regarding the allegations of him fooling people on cryptocurrency. After months of chasing Paul down, Shea finally got him to agree to an interview conducted in Puerto Rico at the boxing gym he owns with his brother Jake. However, the oldest Paul brother never showed up.
In a clip shared online, Shea met with their doppelganger, who seemed visibly nervous throughout the interaction. Shea wasn't entirely fooled and asked if Logan would be showing up, and the lookalike replied, "I'm right here, bud." While Shea tried to get to the bottom of what was going on, a group of people then interrupted the conversation to claim "BBC is vile" and that they hire "pedophiles."
The lookalike scurried off, and Shea laughed it off, realizing that Paul tricked the outlet by avoiding the interview altogether and flipping the script back on the outlet regarding the scandals involving media personalities Jimmy Savile and Huw Edwards. Shea also revealed that Paul's lawyers had sent a letter advising the outlet not to publish anything about the cryptocurrency allegations.
Paul is alleged to have profited off his fans by misleading them about his interest in cryptocurrency. BBC claimed to have evidence that Paul promoted crypto investments illegally. He is currently facing an additional multi-million-dollar lawsuit over a failed crypto project titled CryptoZoo. However, he has denied any wrongdoing.
