Happy Holidays everyone, we're celebrating the year with our 2025 AMA, our third annual Ask-Me-Anything! This is sure to be an interesting one, as a LOT has happened this year. Good, bad, and a lot of ugly, but we've been fighting to bring light to all of it!

This is our chance to discuss everything--from fraud, to prediction markets, to memecoins and everything in between.

Drop your comments below, and be sure to like other questions you want to see answered, from any of us! (if you want to ask Ed or Harry something, you can just tag them in your question).

Finally, I just wanted to express that we (Ed, Harry and I) are all unbelievably grateful for everyone's support here on Patreon. You make all of this possible, and our small team thanks you from the bottom of our hearts.

A Baked Potato

Hypothetical: If I asked my friend for a pizza and they gave me a circular flatbread with marinara, cheese, and pineapples on it, could that be considered fraud?

Logan James

Will Mr. Coffee be your wrestling name once you debut?

Bryn Hildyr

Have you ever been scammed, coffee?

🧑🏿‍🎄

What's your OpSec like? Do you take any special steps to protect yourself from reprisal?

airtrvlrr

Are you optimistic or pessimistic about the future? What would have to fundamentally change for you to be super optimistic?

Liv

Any more scam baiting collabs planned?

Alex S

Hey Coffee, I sent you a DM about a crypto influencer shilling his own crypto token. I’ve gone over the smart contract and it has red flags everywhere. Please check your DM. I have all the receipts and evidence needed to pursue this, I just don’t have the resources or platform to make a difference.

Leslie Harris

Can you tell us if you've completely won the lawsuit Logan Paul had against you?

Geass

Hey, can you tell us if the t-shirt that were supposed to pay your lawsuit helped or in the end you are still struggling financially on that end ?

Cassi Remple

Are you currently in legal battles and in need of security because of crazy people who have threatened you in the past or has that been better this year?

Mario Stoilov

1. As crypto becomes more mainstream and scams pop up here and there, what is your criteria for launching an investigation? 2. You recently collaborated with kitboga. There seems to be more and more YouTubers getting into the "hunting scammers" meta. Do you plan on establishing long term connections with such creators. 3. For a creator called "Coffezilla", I don't remember you sharing how you like your coffee or what brand you prefer. Opportunity for some brand collab? 4. When $1billion studio?

Sooperdooper

Do you have people just recognize you in the street now?

Malcolm B

Who is a bigger Grifter? Donald Trump or Logan Paul

K Marie

The work you do is so important, now more than ever- how do you keep your motivation to hold people accountable in a time where it seems like crime is legal? Also what was your favorite movie of 2025?

Zante

Do you think it’s ironically fitting for your character that justice hasn’t really been served lately with all the pardons/lax punishment for scammers, as you’re like a noir detective of the future whereas a 1920s noir detective was scornful about crime not really being handled well pre FBI’s existence/during peak mob era, and as such do you think we might get more cyberpunk noir content in your videos?

Jens Hedfors

What does family and friends think about your work?

Jericho KV

For Coffee, I have always been curious what motivates you to push so hard in your investigations. The amount of time, effort, and determination that you put into your work and videos is nothing to scoff at. What keeps you moving forward? What drives you to keep moving forward when things get rocky? [thank you for all the work you do, and thank you to Ed and Harry as well!]

Maciej Graszek

Have you checked Trading Card Market yet? What's the line for you between gambling and just fun of opening shiny cardboard? I wish you Merry Christmas and hope that 2026 will be better then 2025 :)

Lumi

Hi! I wonder what your usual workday looks like, from the beginning of an investigation to video production? Do you have favorite / least favorite tasks? Do you ever get hooked on the job?

Blu3Diamond

Really loved the last video, it genuinely warmed my heart! Do you have any goals for 2026, or are you planning to stay focused on specific industries? I especially enjoy the videos about counter strike (i've played it for 10 years) and gambling (work in the industry), they feel so different from most videos on crypto, which often all looks the same. Thanks for the work!

Milien McDermott

What is the best non-fiction book you've read?

Doctor Winter

Where can I find hope that scammers will be legally prosecuted?

Alex

Have you ever thought about sending Dan Lok a thank you card for all that those videos did for your career?

Zorana Gavrilović

Hey Steven, someone probably has asked this before - how do you manage being an "enemy" of a bunch of financially powerful people? How often do you get threats and do you spend a lot on ensuring your (and your family's) privacy and security? I hope that your destiny isn't the same as the one of friendlyjordies lol. Happy holidays <3

Seth Munroe

After years of uncovering how bad investing in crypto can go, do you invest any of your own money into crypto anyway? If so, is it a significant amount or just a token investment (pun intended)?

Thoko

Steven, help me understand why nobody but me seems to care about the massive securities fraud that Tesla seems to be getting away with regarding their inflated stock price. How is it OK for them not to disclose to investors and the public that the problems of lithium-ion batteries mean that mass deployment of humanoid robots (eg 500+ robots in a warehouse in a commercial/residential area) is a nonstarter for both insurers and fire brigades who already struggle to put out a fire caused by one lithium-ion battery. What happens when one robot falls over and damages its battery and causes not only itself but all adjacent robots to catch on fire? The toxic fumes from that fire would spread into the community and cause mass casualties in less than 2 hours--well before an evacuation of the suburb is realistically possible.

Sooperdooper

What's your recording setup nowadays? And what about your research setup?

Ant Wakefield

Have you travelled around the world much? Where would you live if given the chance, and what are some of your favourite places you’ve visited?

Gary Hoang

For kids growing up now, what can they do to not get grifted or become a grifter?

Ramona Chatman-Morris

What are your thoughts on financial nihilism? Who do you think is encouraging it and why?

Michael B Muller

With Truth Social planning to merge with TAE Technologies, do you think fusion power will be the next AI level bubble/grift since it promises everything and doesn't have to deliver anything for years? And if not, what's the next "big thing" in you opinion with crypto cooling and AI likely/hopeully going to be cooling soon?

angelfacepeanut

Just wondering, throughout the years I've seen you tackling so many different areas of the internet and the shady scams that plague it, and as you've talked about on here, seemingly and usually are working on multiple large investigations all at once, alongside whatever you're covering on the second channel and whatever important situations randomly pop up at the same time like the MrBeast situation or the Argentina memecoin (and that also disregards working on the videos themselves or the active lawsuit you have to deal with). My question is, how are you able to handle working on so many projects at once? I remember a while ago when you said you were working on the CSGO series, Omnia Media, Andrew Tate, I believe you were working on something Synapse related, all at the same time (and then the MrBeast stuff happened right in the middle of that, plus I believe you also mentioned another investigation you were working on that fell through last minute). I can't imagine having that much work on your plate. How do you keep up with it all? You're a legend man, thank you for always having the strength, resilience, and guts to continue being such a positive force at a time when so many people doing everything they can to silence, discredit, and/or disregard journalism. Super excited to see what 2026 has in store for you!

Hristo Aleksandrov

Hey coffee, would you ever do an investigation into OneCoin or Alieno? I know both these are not US based, more EU/BG but, especially OneCoin was huge.. billionс of dollars. Happy Holidays!

Supporter

Logan Paul lawsuit insight - how can we support other then Patreon ?

Sadie Pittman

Love the work coffee! Do you plan on covering more romance scams?

Sadie Pittman

What was the best book you read this year?

LM

Have you considered expanding to add a legal team or partnering with a law firm that could pursue these scammers via civil suits? It seems like it could be a way to get justice for the victims when the broader law enforcement apparatus is indifferent or ineffectual.

Kobi Bird

I would be curious to know if you’re familiar or planning on looking into Pokémon. It’s basically gambling for all ages and the scalpers are the ones benefiting

KalebKillz

What’s some of your favorite books? Are there any characters in those books you feel relate to you and/or your work?

Stanley C.

hey y'all! i wanted to ask some of the real questions... such as what are y'alls go to coffee orders? hope you guys have a good holiday season.

featherfall13

Is there any software you use on a regular or semi-regular basis that is a game-changer for you?

pi

Hey Coffee, what did you get your favorite bartender Maxwell as a holiday present?

Jack

Just watched the 10B fraud episode. Great reporting as always and hilarious bit at the end! Watch it twice! Just wanted to ask: are you religious? If so, what religion?

MemLabs

Do you have an update on your Logan Paul case? Do you feel it's coming to an end?

chuck lemon

What story that you've covered do you look back on and have the biggest smile at where the scenario stands today? Also, what upgrades to the $10M studio are you planning on?
