This video is an opinion and in no way should be construed as statements of fact. Scams, bad business opportunities, and fake gurus are subjective terms that mean different things to different people. I think someone who promises $100K/month for an upfront fee of $2K is a scam. Others would call it a Napoleon Hill pitch.

Just wait till Coffee gets canceled after an audit when it's revealed his studio didn't actually cost 10 million dollars and he's been lying to us about it the whole time!
LMAO yeah wait until that happens!!!!!
yeah sure, next you will tell me his lambo cannot fly lmao
gotta admit , you had me during the first half :P
We're gonna have to keep an eye on the bartender.
And he’s been telling us to pump a stock that I don’t think is real.
"In 2022, you either die a hero, or live long enough to sell NFTs" LMFAO
I quite literally died
Even Mike Shinoda does exclusive raffles with his nft members on twitch now. It's fucking sad...
Dunno why they kept saying he's a hero. He's doing this since day 1
🤣
I used to be iffy about him but once he started out with that I can’t lie or hate he funny asf😭🤣
Damn. You know you’ve been on RUclips too long when all of you’re favourite small creators become super successful and fulfil their villain arc
time flies
Another year, another youtuber selling their scams 😔
I mean he did start dressing like one of those Vietnamese gangsters from the Fast and the Furious.
So many of the creators that I spent my childhood watching turned out to be creeps and/or generally shitty people. It sucks, it taints years of good memories.
@@J-Amadaeus makes me look shifty eyed at every content creator not yet exposed. I'm still waiting to hear that Markiplier is a groomer or some sh*t
Jake is just an opportunistic kid that wants to replicate what his idols (scammers) did in order to be as rich as they were at some point. He's like the aspiring rapper that flashes cars, jewerly and mansions but still living with their parents.
Even worse, I think he believed in what he did at the beginning, uncovering the truth an all, but betrayed his values once someone offered him money. Low integrity lad.
lol what sort of cope is this? he is gonna own more properties than you can dream, he's already loaded with the money he needs to compound even more
I'm not even familiar with Jake Tran - how old is he? Because quoting Machiavelli and making it sound like he's your role model is some MAJOR 15-year-old edgelord territory 🤣
@@pizzlerot2730 He's nearing his 30s now.
And, while I agree with you about Tran; calling someone a 15 year old edgelord is a pretty obvious sign of having grown up in the southern United States as uncultered trailer trash, so maybe keep it to yourself.
Read a book: you may find that you enjoy learning new things.
@@jeffbrownstain I'll call him an 15 year old edgelord too, mostly just because he is. Greetings from Finland!
Remember you aren't a good person until you've had the opportunity to be evil and rejected it. Jake is just a bad person and showed it finally.
I like this quote/ way of thinking im going to write that down.
No one's a "Good Person", not you, not me, no one.
@@robertnoble7554 definitely not you with that mindset
@@robertnoble7554 There are plenty of good people out there. Just being a good person usually isn't news worthy.

Gotta give some kudos to Jake, He did such a good job at teaching his viewers how to identify scams and shitty Business moves that he got INSTANTLY shat on by them when he tried to pull a sneaky one on said viewers.
At least he did something right, i guess.
I like to think that he was just testing if his viewers learned jackshit from his videos or not, while making some extra cash from the dimwitted ones who didnt. Some sort of fucked up machiavellian natural selection i suppose? I dunno.
Agreed, the student has become the master
not really though. nobody really cared about this until internet karen here chose another guy’s livelihood to fuck with in order to further his own
@@DracoVP fym dude, his own subscribers called him out on his hypocrisy of making a video on how nfts are a scam while at the same time promoting one of those fucking things under the excuse of "this one is not a scam guys, trust me"
@@DracoVP lmao
Not even a youtube apology sigh. Just "I'm teaching you to be evil and I love you"
Wow. I have never heard Machiavelli misinterpreted so badly. He was explaining how a man must be prepared to destroy anyone who dared wrong him, that turning the other cheek gets one buried in business or politics; he did not mean 'Screw everyone before someone else does'.
Everyone acts like a saint till they realize they can get away manipulating people.

He exactly knows that he'd still get youtube money despite having bad reputation. I mean, tons of problematic youtubers are still exist and thriving.
I really don’t see how this isn’t gonna blow up in his face. He’s playing with fire. He’d need a really gullible audience to avoid the consequences, but I don’t think that’s the case considering his type of content. His subject matter encourages people to think critically, even though the ads don’t.
@@tgo007
Tech barely gets past 100k views despite his multiple channels and reliable uploading every other day.
And the Acefamily gets the brain dead family friendly room temperature IQ veiwers.
And I've never heard of freshnfit, but based off the name alone I think it might be obvious why viewership isn't down.
Jake Tran's goal was always just to make money. The whole "evil buinsisses" series was a formula he figured out workes and he continued to milk.
Aging like milk, unfortunately. My husband and I watch his video sometimes but he's honestly not my favorite source lol
Exactly
Buinsisses xD
This buinisses is reallt evil man
Pretty much, theres tons of other channels that keep pumping “x thing the most evil in the world”
5:18 it is so unbelievably hilarious and ironic to me that you joke about Jake thinking Wolf of Wallstreet was a guide and not a cautionary tale and Jake then goes on to quote Machiavelli - a man whos entire literary legacy was making a mockery and satirical parody of the disgusting and evil practices of Italian nobility. Jake literally did EXACTLY what Coffee joked about by taking a scathing criticism of despicable people and unironically trying to pedal it as good life advice.
Machiavelli's writings were parody? Interesting... but what is the evidence? I'm genuinely curious.
I cant believe my guts of staying away from bad guys is this strong .Literrally almost every youtuber I stoped watching started to do dubious shit and the ones I never liked already done dubious shit.Most of the times I do this without even realising. I have never had to be heartbroken because of this
Same. And I grew up in a fundamentalist cult where gaslighting was a child raising strategy (everything you think and feel, everything about you is wrong, and the only good is mindless obedience like a wind-up toy).
Jake Tran: The most EVIL business in the world.
I love ur videos ghost cum
Wow, this is seriously evil!
They don't want you to know how evil this is
I would love to see someone make a "evil buisness" video about jake tran in his style
Please make a video of it
To be honest, I found the quality of Jake’s videos dropped after he shifted gears. They’re not awful, but they’re not any more informative than reading a Wikipedia article.
Agreed, I always thought his videos were to surface level to be interested. You can find all the information he gives in a video in 5 to 10 minutes of research on your own
Exactly… everything actually, he barely knows anything about the subjects he posts
@@monkeyhero479 I recommend the channel cold fusion or the series corporate casket of Iluminati (the former are very informative, but you can clearly see personal biases & opinions throw into the mix). They usually cover the same topics.
most of his videos are just surface level facts of different clickbait-ey stories (occasionally oversimplified as well) that people don't hear about often. He doesn't really do his research enough plus his visuals are not very interesting. idk also his voice is a bit annoying but maybe that's just me
His most recent video on the annexation of the Southwest from Mexico was absolute trash. Idk why people ever watched this guy other to have their “US BAD”, “Capitalism BAD” egos jerked off
The Wolf of Wall Street as a checklist and not a cautionary Tale LMAO

I first learned about coffeezilla after the "save the kids" scandal and I'm so glad that I did
Lol same
Same bro, best channel ever
same
@@eriottomakurashi tbh I think coffee has dropped his content lately compared to the save the kids saga. That took tons of effort and research. Its starting to feel like his collabs with other creators like s.o.g. on those videos maybe did a lions share of the work.
@@FrostbytedigitalI doubt that they had a very unbalanced work in the colab, zila is very passionate about uncovering and researching scams. And about his content recently, I still enjoy watching them and find them entertaining. U may not agree about how i feel and that’s totaly fine
Jake Tran is like an abusive partner that tries to gaslight you into thinking you're in a healthy relationship, just with scams instead of violence.
Scams, crypto and NFTS 💩
Um ok 🤨
Yes exactly i thought the same thing when he said “i love you”
Lol he's now a manipulator
Stay true to us Coffeezilla. Its good seeing that people like you is still trying to enlightened us!
I did notice some of his videos even before his heel turn were just copied homework from previous youtubers. Which means there were probably more that were also pilfered and I just didn't know the source.
Coffee, you’re one of the few people who stuck to their morals over the years and proved to everyone that the good guys can win too
famous last words
we'll see if this age like a fine vintage wine or a cheesecurd in a cumsok

I think the takeaway is the opposite my guy
Lol Muda his buddy proved him wrong in the video with TechLead and he ran away. He never even addressed Muda's points. He literally plugged his ears and ranaway.
Used to love his videos it’s a shame how far he’s fallen
Go watch Swindled.
Same. Glad coffee put a voice to this hypocrisy .
Hahahha jokes on you
It happened pretty damn fast too lol.

You're the man Coffeezilla! You're like binge watching Unsolved Mysteries or Forensic Files as far as I'm concerned and that's a pretty precious place in my heart. Right up there with The Price is Right on sick days from school.
This whole "Stay dangerous" and teaching one how to be evil feels sarcastic and a poke at sarcasm, and he is staying in character, but I can barely tell anymore after that "RUclipsr Apology"
So...Jake knows he doesn't have to have a sponsor related to his video right? He's not pigeonholed to NFT and cryptocurrency sponsors just because he covers NFTs and cryptocurrencies.
Just get Raycon or GFuel to sponsor you...
Scamming his audience adds credibility to his videos, though.

@@CNYKnifeNerd if anything, it's quite meta.

@@bloozism really, how so? I thought that they were just headphones.
"If you don't like my politics then don't buy my book" energy. I can respect the honesty and if his philosophy is that everything is predatory so he is just doing life then I can understand that as well. When people stop watching and unsub I hope he understands that they just do not agree with his way of life.
This has been the only perfect take I seen in all the comments. I take it that he acknowledges we are in an evil world where the bad guys win and the good stay at the bottom where he just acts accordingly. He's just playing this evil game that the world forces all to be apart of. However, I agree that his ambitions might one day prove to be his undoing.
My man's reading The Prince and educating us by demonstration.
But he took down videos that promoted crypto scams, this is just an excuse to salvage his reputation
If it is the natural standard, as he suggests, why does he require to lean into predatory behaviour if he could instead, adhere to his nature.
Smoothbrains like Jake only adopt a philosophy as long as it is in their own favour, without looking at the consequences.
Even on the deepest level, it can only be described as selfish.
@@Hadeks_Marow Ah the old "If you can't beat them, join them".
Yeah no. I don't know why you guys are pretending that's any better. Nobody forced him to do anything.
At the end of the day, the only person that statement is damaging is Jake himself
When his sponsors see that he admits they are evil, and they have paid him huge amounts to be in his videos but no one is buying because… Jake has warned his audience not to, they’ll all stop working with him
Just a really weird move
Everyone in the comments saying *"If Coffee ever turns evil I will honestly never believe in anyone ever again".* You don't realize that has NEVER been the good guy! Coffezilla once again attempting to be this *Golden Knight In Shining Armor* by constantly shitting on other creators and putting down anyone attempting to improve their own lives and escape the rat race. Jake is very outspoken about being a true capitalist and he's not deviating from that proclamation in any way. However coffee over here is doing the EXACT same thing. If there was no Adsense, Coffeezilla wouldn’t exist. He has found a way to make money and that is through creating videos. Not adding any value to society or building anything that brings society forward. He's simply a creator that capitlizes from criticizing others and putting their work down instead rather than creating something original. A very sad existence indeed.
👍
This has got to be a troll
If coffeezillas videos don't ad anything to society than Jake's don't either because they make similar content and most the stuff Jake makes multiple other channels and other media sources say the exact same thing as he does
I love how you go through all these verbal gymnastics to try and paint Coffee as a hypocrite. You dont have to change peoples lives or become the next elon musk to prove a point.
true hypocrite here is Jake is shilling scams to people; things that those evil companies he made videos of do.
Coffee doesn't use his production "budget" from adsense to justify promotions/scams. Hes helping people be aware of it and know the happenings of said scams. so in essence he does add value to society by keeping clueless people out of these false promises and shady deals and not get scammed out of their money and potentially drown in debt.
*Everybody:* This’s definitely Jake’s alt account and he used bots to like his room-temp comment. 2K likes in 2 hours? Totally not suspicious.
This is why you should not hold your favorite 'online' personalities to a pedastal, including coffeezilla
This doesn't only apply to online personalities only. It's ANY renowned person, period.
Ye shall make you no idols

@@borisxbg that analogy 😂
It’s amazing how the purpose of his channel in his eyes happens to be very different from what we all assumed it was.
I dunno. I avoided his videos because the clickbait titles suggested he was going to present a litany of accusations without actually discussing the complexity and context of the business decisions (which people can learn form). When you have a variety of competing goals and actual misjudgements, then casually labelling business decisions as evil is pretty worrying. Sure, some business decisions are evil (like the subcontractors who buy from slave labor) but things like selling baby formula as healthier than breast milk is pretty understandable when doctors believed it was healthier.
Hyperbolic accusations are a big red flag of scummy behavior.

I'm happy the youtubers who expose scams are finally exposing each other. Sweet victory.
I kinda feel like Jake is the Anti-zilla.
Both learned a lot about how scams work. The in-depth scrutiny of the subject matter and then show people their understanding.
The big distinction being Coffee does this stuff to educate and shed light.
Jake seems to be a well educated scammer with a lucrative side hustle as an amateur documentary maker.
Jake has always been a merciless capitalist.

Just goes to show the differences of usage between two different people who have similar ability.
Jake is Saruman. He studied the arts of the Enemy and was seduced by them. Thank god we still have our white wizard coffee 🥺

@@zilliq outsourcing the voice over (narration) to someone else. He built a brand around his identity and then bait and switched us.
I would’ve respected the villain arc if he fully committed and said something like “I just told you about the scam in the video, so you should be able to identify the scam in the ad and not give them money. I’m not taking money from you, I’m taking it from them”
Most likely he’s getting paid from users signing up and spending money with the sponsor, and in the case with the NFT’s he was an initial investor so he got paid when his subscribers bought the NFT’s at a premium, so yes he is taking money from his viewers, probably more so than from the sponsors.
The expectation is probably that if you're already one of his regular viewers, then you should be able to identify the scam without him having to point it out.
@@Dermaa then why even do that in the first place? He's not paid per views, its per sign up.
If he ever tells that I feel like that'd tank his future sponsorships downward
if he said that he wouldnt get any more of those sponsors. this is still how i see it at the end of the day, BUT i guess i skip pass or tune out during most all sponsors in yt vids anyways
All these NFT dudes struggle so badly with Small man syndrome. It's wild how being 5'2 and selling NFTs go hand in hand, this Jake guy is a perfect example.

Jake Tran read the quote “Be the change you want to see” and completely missed the entire point.

I have this thing that skips most sponsors in youtube videos so I had no clue his promos were that bad.
I am vegan but I am loving this beef between coffee and Jake😂😂
From what I'm understanding, Jake Tran is following some other fake Guru's strategy of farming out video content.
It's some kind of "create passive income" plan where you do a chunk of work at the beginning and then after some time, it runs itself, because you have farmed out all the heavy lifting of the video creation process. However, I agree with Coffee that he's taking advantage of his audience. Definitely predatory sales tactics going on.
Here's a quote from phillion " Everyone is against the system unless your apart of it"

Man I love this channel
Really though, as an old school JT subscriber, it has never been about “exposing bad business practices”. It has always been about learning about them, so that: 1) you don’t get scammed yourself; 2) you understand the leverage in various power dynamics. He just started the whole “exposed” thing trying to appeal to the greater masses.
That being said, I would appreciate if he brought back his own voice-over and the higher quality research. It’s also entirely possible that the dude is just making much more money off another source, so he isn’t even focused on RUclips as much at this point.
The Jake Tran channel is literally the 48 laws of power Robert Greene book real life examples, nothing more. In the earlier videos, Jake was quite transparent about it, so it has always been about this kind of “shadow” exploration.
Yep it’s about how you can do the same, not exposing anyone
Someone said recently - forget who - 'we live in a post-accountability world,' referring to influencers and the like.

It's hard to put your soul into it when you've already sold it to the devil...
Exactly, he has no real soul to put into anything but himself. He's opportunistic and a hypocritical sellout. And he has the audacity to smile to himself about it. I hope his downfall is a great one.
Yeah I fell out with Jake's content when he suggested to cover your debt by getting an even larger debt to cover the existing debt. He became greedy and chose he wants a luxury lifestyle.

Jake Tran always had the veneer of a weasel cryptobro. I’m not surprised
"I had to do it" No, no he didn't. He wasn't backed into a corner or forced to do any of this. His defense is pretty crappy at best.

he's clearly giving a shit but in a "ah, so this is how to survive in real life" take.
Yeah I lost interest after I noticed that this lazy pattern started of “how to…” (ex: start standard oil, monopolize an industry, overthrow smaller countries if ur the cia, etc) and he was literally not being sarcastic. He was literally giving a point by point of “how to be evil”, of course always leaving out the fact that a “normal” person has zero chance of elbowing into being, say, a ceo of BP or Microsoft. These people are **selected** - same as politicians are selected not elected- because of their bloodlines and connections. A wiki how about how to become a tycoon is literally useless.
@@ttrev007 His original goal wasn't about really informing or doing anything important, he just wanted success. So much so that he was basically cloning Stephen Graham's videos, but it wasn't working. The "exposing evil" angle was his "whatever, let's just try this" experiment and it earned him views, so he just kept doing them.
His research and effort he puts into his videos are equivalent to a high school history presentation, idk why he's acting he needs to do scummy sponsors to help finance a bunch of writers ,film makers, and on filed researches most college students put in the same effort as him

I like this culture of creators calling each other out👏🏾
Love the new MoistCritikal sign off “that’s basically it, see ya”.
What a Tran-sformation. From explaining how gasoline works, to adding a 25 foot lit fuse to a can.
Love ya coffee, your content is great as per the usual. Keep it up!
Coffee is a hater.
@@magacop5180 He hates filth, yeah.
Dont forget his kurzgesagt fuck up. He is no different.
@@magacop5180 me too. People like Jake should be called out. Even if he creates "premium videos", which are a joke too
@@bugrilyus at least Coffee learned from our and took responsibility and grew from it. Unlike Jake
He showed you exactly how to identify and save yourself from an NFT scam. If you choose to ignore everything he taught you and fall into one right after (one that he's selling supposedly) you have him to blame but more important yourself to blame too.
I remember once seeing his content a long time ago. I didn't like him that much, plus I thought his content was surface level but presented to make it seem like it is deep and thoughtful.
Coffee pls never change. The beacon of integrity. Thanks.
It’s beautiful to see coffeezilla goes after everyone!
I love the half blinking last frame, very good.

I like YOUR signoff: "That's basically it. C'ya". Simple and effective, no flair. Your engineering education is showing.
I like how if subscribers get scammed by listening to Jake, it's the subscribers' fault.
Machiavelli wrote "The prince" AS A CRITIQUE of the behaviors and ruling strategies he described there. He just had to be super careful with self-censorship given the times. If he knew how many people took his words as a guide to life, he'd be rolling in his grave.
Edit: fellas, whether he meant it or not is a secondary thing in this whole debate. Point is: don't use his work as a guide to life.
So ironic that "Machiavellian" is an adjective.
I did not know "The Prince" was a critique. But that's interesting
@@Jonathonson I’d argue it’s straight poison even. He wrote it under the medeccis or however it’s spelt and it’s absolutely bait given that he didn’t like them very much. It’s at minimum a satire if not poison.
Any link to info on that? Just not the impression I got reading it (though fuck if I know)
Explain in greater tale. Share with me this parable.
“I love you more than you realize” is one of the most manipulative statements…
The problem with the lifestyle Jake Tran advertises is that in the end, it leaves you lonely, bitter, and unable to trust anyone. And that's no way to live. "to love and win is the best thing to love and lose, the next best"
Reminds me of “Wall Street”. It was a satire and indictment of corporate greed but the “Greed is good” speech was quoted unironically by finance bros and Gordon Gekko became their hero, when he was in fact the movie’s villain.
did you see how and who funded that movie wolf of wallstreet also...
ironically it was an asia based scam artist who wanted to be friends with Leo Dicaprio and party with the fame off of it
