Insane Creator Scam (EARLY ACCESS)

Over a dozen anonymous calls point to the same scammer, but what happens if noone wants to go public? What do you do when a regular scam investigation takes a much darker turn?

These were questions I had to ask myself when I looked into REVOLT, the Misfits and Ryan Piasente.

I hope you enjoy this insane journey into the world of creator merchandise, where the top creators in the world all got taken in by a man who turned out to defraud many of them.

Merry Christmas. Enjoy the early video!

P.S. This will quickly become obvious, but this was one of our highest effort productions in terms of visuals, and I think we made some real strides. Proud we're bringing to life the world of Coffeezilla.  Let me know what you think!

Insane Creator Scam (EARLY ACCESS)

I hope that's true

Blueberry

This was a wild one. What a way to end 2023. I truly feel for the victims.

Ada MC

That took a wild turn. Wow.

Fernanda Alario

I joined your Patreon today - you're doing great work.

I get you Adam, and in the US “innocent until proven guilty (beyond a reasonable doubt)” only fully applies within the criminal court itself. I can call an act a crime as long as I can show in a defamation case that my statement of fact as to what happened is “more likely than not” true. Plus for journalists or speaking about public figures, you just have to show the statement was not malicious or with reckless disregard for truth.

Elizabeth Woodley

I think coffee alerts law enforcement to things he sees that are crimes during investigations already. I just don't think he talks about it on camera much.

Ramona Chatman-Morris

Wow.

V L

Loved it - keep taking them down.

Michael Patterson

I run support operations for an S+P 500 org. 100,000 open tickets is insanity. All of these customers should be bypassing Revolt and disputing the charges with the payment providers who can crush Revolt with chargebacks (meaning payment providers take back the $$$)

Michael Patterson

Revolt LLC is a U.S. company. Many of the receipts shown are in California. The fraud was all over the world. I suspect the predator allegations are also global in nature.

David Weintraub

Artistic genius. Keep it up, Coffee

Abraham Ojeda

Merry Christmas Coffee, you’re a man of the people! Keep being the public figure who isn’t afraid to speak up, we’re with you.

Graham T.

Another banger 👍

Amazing work, Coffeezilla! Highly appreciated!

Alexander Palffy

Thank you! I recently got another lead which seems promising. 😁

Coffeezilla

Merry Christmas :) 🎄

We're working hard to try to keep pushing the boundaries! Thanks Bruno

Coffeezilla

Thanks for your concern Adam. This was a tricky investigation. The SA stuff, while not my usual coverage, was unavoidable to talk about. It overshadows everything, and I'm very clear in the video what evidence there is, and what evidence there is not. It is not 'pumping rumors' if you have financial receipts, 3 victims on the record, 2 anonymous, private logs of conversations, and character testimonies. I went through incredible pains to try to fact check this all with Ryan himself, he provided zero evidence or statement. As for the legal concerns, the law in the U.S. for defamation is clear and very much on my side. Ryan is a public figure, my video was made in good faith to try to find facts, and there wasn't malicious intent. My only concern in situations like this is being frivolously sued, but that's always been a risk and it's one I accepted a long time ago.

Coffeezilla

Happy Christmas, Coffee! As soon as I heard that another video of yours popped up, I dropped everything and started watching. Excellent work and I'd love to know if you're going to follow through with this. SA and fraud?! That's something serious.

Alien_Seit

you should have a look at https://t.me/DigiCorpLabs the owners also stole millions after launch and fucked over many consumers it seems

Just a Nobody

OK, then he should be letting Aus authorities know before publishing

Blueberry

I was waiting for when you tell us that you informed law enforcement. I love your work but do you recognize the danger in alerting perps so that they can escape?

Blueberry

Epic

Philip Leitch

That was bangin! Thank you! Bet he’ll be pissin his pants after this and lot more can breathe a sigh of relief

Full Throttle TV

Geez that was really dark, a scammers rabbit role which then lead to Pandoras Box, surely the police should be issued these findings.

Gary Woodhead

Good point Riley.

Brady Begeman

Don’t worry it’s not my point of view, just concerned for coffee. Im from England, so my message is very much UK related. Hence why I asked if he had run it through a lawyer who specialises in defamation. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty… (In a court of law) that’s just a British thing huh? Just felt the stakes were considerably higher in relation to sexual abuse allegations, over the usual scam type cases. What IF these contacts are making it up, coffee just put this guy on blast and compared him to Harvey Weinstein. Now I’m not saying that these things can’t also be true. Just…. This is not coffee’s usual game.

Adam Stenning

Merry Christmas, thanks for always shining a bright light on normally dark places. Keep up the good work!

Justin

I respect your point of view, but as a US lawyer, I want to clarify that in the US it’s incorrect to state that if there is no police report there is no crime. There are many reasons a victim of a crime may choose not to come forward, or why a prosecutor may not charge an individual, but the fact of whether a crime was committed only depends on whether the perpetrator’s actions factually met the elements of the crime. In my personal non-legal-advice opinion, in a defamation case, the evidence presented by Coffee would likely be sufficient to prevail.

Elizabeth Woodley

Regardless, fantastic work!

Riley Boyd

Coffee, question, by posting the date on the DM w the 17 y/o, could someone go find the selfie he retweeted in question and find that minor?

Riley Boyd

Thank you Coffee for using your voice for people too afraid or embarrassed to speak up. Love love the effects as always 💕

Elizabeth Woodley

Thank you for the great work! It's frustrating how little tangible evidence there is on this case, even if it's not hard to connect the dots with all the testimonials and anecdotals. Can't believe production quality is still going up!

Bruno Yorda

Another great video. Happy to have someone exposing these pieces of shit!

Ethan

As someone who's heard things about this story since Peckett's allegations first dropped, not only am I ecstatic to see you make an entire video surrounding it, but the way you've balanced the fraud aspect and the serious grooming/SA allegations is remarkable. This is your best video yet and I am personally in awe. Incredible job Stephen! Thank you for bringing attention to people like Ryan so that others can prevent themselves from falling to his predatory tactics, both financially and physically.

Alexander Demers

Just what I need to close out this Christmas night

Daffy

Thank you for all that you do. I’d like to give more, but I feel very proud to be able to support you in a small way of donation each month. Merry Christmas to you and all of my fellow subscribers.

Matt Goldsbrough

Great video, I hope we hear a lot more about this in the near future.

Evan Casimatis

Thank you coffee for the amazing work you keep doing. And merry Christmas as well 🎄🎄

Belgiumchad69

Don't worry about getting sued. 💼

Ron Coleman

Coffee, another great post. Never let your morals be compromised.

CorGigabyte

Madoff + Epstein hybrid.

Janet Johnson

Both rvlt and misfits are aus based companies

Mitch

"Let me know what you think!" I think it's ok

Ed Leszczynski

Amazing work coffee ❤️

Jondeau Kassim

What a difficult story. I hope you don’t come into any legal issues over this one. Ultimately if these victims haven’t filed a police report then no crime has been committed. Whilst I think it’s obvious he’s clearly morally perverse, it’s only a crime if reported by the victims. Otherwise you’re just pumping rumours. Awesome video though. Do you have legal advice that you check with before you post publicly? Just concerned a little over this one if all these victims never come forward officially to police.

Adam Stenning

the fake ad was so convincing i tried to skip it

Florentine

Another banger once again, you never seem to disappoint with the video quality

Wendell Nunes

Well that was an unexpected direction, but good for you for following that trail too!

Tanya Dixie

The ad skit had me thinking like wtf i thought i was watching on Patreon lol

Arecee773

Well... that got horrible. MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYBODY!

Ross Vincent

Wow. Do you ever go to the Attorney General or District Attorneys with your evidence? This is way more than merely money. This is harming people for life.

David Weintraub

Thanks for everything you do, Coffee. I love all the personality that you are able to put into the videos now. Seeing that AI Pizza Ad killed me. Keep up the stellar work!

mushimerry

I liked the visuals!

Xrxtx

Thank you Xavier!

Coffeezilla

😂😂

Coffeezilla

Normally don’t cover these abuse stories but when it intersected with a story I was already investigating I had to!

Coffeezilla

Just when I thought I was out they pull me back in!

The majority of creators have limited availability when they sell merchandise, either limited by quantity or limited by the time that you can order it, and they refer to each campaign as a merch drop. Probably because they are dropping merch on their audience.

William Tremaine

This took a wild turn. Glad someone is willing to investigate all this.

StreetsAhead

Merry Christmas Coffee. I need to head over to Pepperoni Hug Spot this week. I wonder if they sell T-shirts...

Neil P

This is bananas!

Dave Handler

Merry Christmas! Thank you for this important work you do exposing the dark side.

Xavier Lozinguez

I actually don’t understand what a “merch drop” is exactly or who ended up owing what to who. We might need another video to explain the actual scam for those of us who are boomers!

Nicholas Cole

What a nice gift! This morning when I was thinking of what to listen to this morning I said “nah, coffee is enjoying the holiday”. Well, shut my mouth!

Krystin

Thank you Coffee Merry Xmas!

Dave Handler

Thank you Coffee. Merry Christmas everyone.

A Christmas miracle upload ❤️
