Logan Paul's 'Pokemon Expert' and the 375k Scam 

“Never trust a guy with a pinky ring” Solid advice.

The biggest give away is when he started talking in past tense to it being legit

His voice got SO SHAKY after they said they want to open the box

What doesn’t make any sense is that if the owner has had these boxes for 20 years in a gun safe there’s no reason the seller would even refund him because he would know they’re real lmao

Another huge red flag, why on earth would a kid in the 90s put his Pokémon cards in a gun safe in the first place???

Used Car Salesman: " 1 previous owner, a grandma that only drove it to the grocery store"

He was talking to no one on the phone! His mic was right next to the speaker of the phone, the audio would have been picked up to some extent

What child in the 90s would have the insight and self-control to immediately store the 3 boxes for the future lol.

You never want your Pokémon professional comparing cards to kilos.

Me, at the corner store: "How much for this beef jerky?" Clerk, not even looking up from his track betting book: "$2.00. $2.50. Maybe $5.00. Who knows?"

I like how, during the “Guru’s” explanation, he sounded completely guilty. “I did the peek test, and everything looked legit.” Past tense. They hadn’t even called him out yet, and he’s already pleading his case. And if there was a “money back guarantee” or whatever, then why did he claim later to be out money? Did the “guarantee” fall through?

I love how leonhart was the only one to suspect fake before it was even opened. Legendary

imagine that man's bald head routine. probably drenches it in baby oil and the tears of his customers

Sketchy weed dealers back in high school used to act the same damn way when you pulled out the scale on em

Imagine finally having a son. You raise him in a loving family with all of the support and encouragement he needs. You reflect on your own past mistakes as you hope to shape him into a better person than you could have ever been. Then in his 30s, he shaves his head, buys a few tight business suits, and starts scamming teenagers out of Pokemon cards on RU-vid.

When they told him he wanted to open them, that head got really, really, REALLY SHINY

his voice is literally shaking when he's explaining away

the most intelligent ive seen wubby is when he's talking about Pokemon cards

It hurts so much, seeing Leonhart you can tell he knows, or at least heavily suspects what is coming.

"So this guy gave me a free beer but it turns out he'd pissed in it... it's ok though he apologised and said he'd give me two more open beers next time I see him"

"I've had them for years and years and years..." *box has 2020 cards in it*. "Oh I must have been scammed years ago"

Mr. Clean gives me the heebee jeebees.

This was bananas. Well done with the breakdown

I love how his defense comes before but is phrased in a way where he's already been caught

the reason his heads so shiny and sweaty is because hes nervous of getting caught when selling them scam boxes

"My divorced parents came together to send me this article." Lmfao. That one had me rollin.

Cody and Noel mentioned you in their podcast and Noel mentioned how funny you are. So I came to this video with the mindset of “this man BETTER make me laugh.” One minute in and I’m laughing. You win this round

I'm honestly so impressed that they got Steve Urkel to play the security guard.

There's only one man I trust with Pokemon and that is MaxMoFoe. Massive legend here.

You can HEAR the nervousness in his voice. His voice got deeper, you can hear how tight his chest is when he talks, his voice is literally shaky. He is a terrible terrible liar. Wow. Funny enough people who are caught in a lie tend to over-explain themselves and their actions.

I actually really really like this channel a lot.

I am crying at the DSLRs walking through the shot that you don't see the perspective of

17:20 lmao what are the odds his phone is off and he's talking to absolutely nobody? 😂

His head is shiny because he wants to be like his overpriced pokemon cards.

I literally yelled out "Are you KIDDING ME!?" when the fake guru was sleeving that energy card

The "if indeed it is fake" part was the biggest sign like nobody said it was fake it mightve been the vibe but hes the one who called it out

Parents :"HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We bought you 3 boxes of pokemon cards" Kid :"Thanks Mom and Dad!" Parents :"....and they go straight into the gun safe !"

Johnny Sins is really delving deep into the role of a card collector for his next "feature" huh

Nobody: Absolutely nobody: That guy's head: IT IS MY TIME TO SHINE

Never *ever* trust anyone who has him- or herself photographed with stacks of cash.

The funniest thing is that Leonhart used to be a lawyer so that's why its so obvious he's skeptical from the start.

the more he scams the shinier his head gets

As an Indian guy, the "BOOODAAAAAA" made me lose my shit lmao

So glad we found this it’s brought so many things to light and we’ve been so skeptical of all this down in Australia

The classic "There's no way I'm guilty because a guilty person would stop talking" 5 hour explanation of events.

Back in the late '90s I would steal Pokémon cards from Target and sell them at the local comic book store for weed money... I now realize I should have kept them to sell years later to pay my mortgage.

Really well done man. I appreciate how you had the follow up videos there too on how he was continuously nervous and handling those cards so incredibly awfully. It's almost as if he was looking for a moment to swap them with fakes, and maybe he did for all we know.

Anyone revisiting this after seeing Coffeezilla's new vid...yeah, same guy.

I work in a card shop, legit his video and mr chrome dome has ruined any ability to buy cards because everyone things their cards are like 10,000 dollars a piece. At the same time, we are selling 500% more cards than we ever had so i guess its a trade off.

As a baseball card collector, everything about this guy just pisses me off

“I was giving prices that people would laugh at.” I WONDER WHHHYYYYY

My fourth grade English teacher used to make us play vocab games in class. The word liaison would come up at least once a week. You just unlocked a core memory for me.

Who would’ve guessed the Pokémon card community was this wild

Logan paul is about 2 years away from looking like jimmy saville

Dude with the spit shine head is such an obvious scammer. Their "real" box was opened away from them under even more suspect situation than the first fake box. I wouldn't be surprised if dumb money got scammed twice.

I have never ever been into collecting cards before, but I started freaking out when he was started tapping the card on the table to get it to go into the sleeve.

RU-vid first: Logan Paul NOT the villain in a story focused around him.

oh look, wubby remembered his password

I just got back into the TCG Collecting, your video made me laugh so much at this scammer dude haha, awesome video man

I wish I could’ve seen Agent 47’s heart rate when they wanted to open it. His voice is so shakey, I can only assume his adrenaline was pumping at full capacity.

The fact that the dude handles cards with his greasy, ungloved hands puts 10s at 9.5s instantly.

Why is everyone making fun of pinky ring guy , he loves Pokemon so much he became a shiny one himself

22:12 is where the horror hits... i was sitting cross-legged with my cat in my lap and it was so scary we both jumped (me first and my poor cat second) fell off the chair and "died".... DUDE WTF!!!!

That bald guy is also crypto king, Paul’s accomplice in an attempted $140M+ crypto scam

The huge GFuel pyramid in the background has me wondering if our boy has got himself a new sponsor

Guru is such a bad liar he's constantly touching his face/mask and he's being so fidgety stuttering when he started to talk about the fake boxes

I wonder if he shines himself up to prevent anyone being able to tell when he's sweating. *WAIT.* What if the shine is actually _sealing in_ the sweat, so he can never sweat under pressure?! The conspiracy continues.

if i sold someone a box of first edition base set cards, and i am a true fan of the franchise, and they told me they wanted to open it up in front of me... i'd be crazy excited to watch that opening and be even more excited to be a part of it all. Guru was nervous as hell that they wanted to open it and immediately started to try damage control. Its really sad that this is what has happened to the pokemon card community. Base set, Jungle, Fossil, and Team Rocket sets were a huge part of my childhood and id love to be able to share the feeling of opening those as a child with my son someday but its hard to know if there are any legit sets out there anymore.

THIS HURTS TO WATCH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

22:21 When he grinded that water energy card on the table I internally screamed. Probably one of the least valuable cards in the box but still.

The table tap and drag with the cards reaction is perfection.

Thank You... you are capable of bringing out the truth and humor in these topics in ways that many would struggle with executing... you have a gift.

The only pokémon card expert I would trust is Maxmofo.

He sounds like he was about to burst into tears at any moment after they said they wanted to open the box

This my 1st video watching on your channel but I really love you and your channel so much.

I'm still 1000% convinced it was baldy and you can't convince me otherwise.

He knows he’s screwed when he starts talking about the scam in past tense before its even been exposed.

I didnt know johnny sins collected pokemon cards

I’ve honestly got a bunch of Pokémon cards I’ve collected since I’ve been a kid. I have no idea how much they’re worth, I have no idea the conditions they’re in but I’m holding onto them for dear life

Started watching your twitch! Good stuff man!

I remember when you were stuck on *40k* wubster. _Proud of you papi_

This is like when someone who doesn’t watch sports buys a sports team and ruins it

just discovered your video today. Been collecting for about 10 years now and when they were handling the cards around 22 minutes I felt like I was going to be sick oh my god lmao

I cannot believe people can just lie and lie and the other party doesn't even call them on their bs

BTW if anyone is curious, Bald Man did in fact see this, and is in fact angry and calling Wubby fat.

When he starts trying to preemptively defend himself, his voice gets super shaky 🤣

The amount of rapid fire excuses he's making one after the other makes me soooo anxious Nice video, I like this channel already

20:32 You can immediately see all 4 of their reactions turning sour, as of they're all thinking to themselves "Well, shit.. we're getting scammed again." Like they just know Lol

Watching him getting nervous, is the most painful thing to watch

22:21 I cringed a little inside watching him drop it, but you know, it happens. The cards are kind of small, very understandable that they could get dropped. At least it’s a very short distance. It’s probably ok, but definitely not ideal. I’m sure he understands how careful he needs to handle these cards, and he’s not going to make that mistake again. *drags the card across the table* I legit dropped my jaw when I saw that. I could not believe they would do something like that. Not to mention they’re handling these cards bare handed. The oils on their fingertips are going to ruin the value of those cards.

Slides energy face down on table Me: *screams* Wubby: *screams*

He got so fucking RED when he was told to open the case.

any selfproclaimed "guru" is shady right off the bat

i immediately dont trust people that are self proclaimed “experts” or “gurus”. like ok Agent 47 you say youre a pokemon “guru” but you dont even seem to be involved/apart of the community youre claiming to be an expert in....

Man dude was sweating bullets as soon as he was going live lmfao

your funny as heck, keep up the great vids, much love, just subscribed

I guess these Dumb Money folks picked a pretty good name huh

The way he surrounded them with his goons is actually a business tactic. Care salesmans will say like "lemme get our numbers guy" then there's 2 people pressuring you. Then they say let us get our manager. There's 3 people pressuring. So if they don't like the cards. They'll have a harder time declining. What an ass.

Sick channel dude. I wish you a happy Easter!💯

I clicked this video on accident, and since Pokémon has never appealed to me, I found it interesting the price people pay for these cards and the lengths to which they will go to scam others. Good video
