Transcripts
how badly does a self-proclaimed
millionaire Tech YouTuber have to mess
up to not just end up on coffee zilla's
hit list but completely destroy his
career with just one video I bet that if
I were to get arrested and go to jail
the price of million token would
Skyrocket it ended the guy's career it
destroyed his reputation more
importantly what would drive a once
credible and wholesome member of the
YouTube Tech Community to throw his
entire career away for a quick buck and
why would he make everything worse by
attacking coffee zill
hi I'm the internet Anarchist I create
weekly YouTube documentaries and today
we'll be looking over the Dreadful
demise of one of YouTube's most infamous
Tech channels Tech lead a man who let
his ego and greed get the better of him
in the worst way possible Tech lead AKA
Patrick Shu started his YouTube journey
in 2016 he focused his videos on his
experience as a Google employee however
his connection to YouTube was deeper
than most since he was the tech lead for
YouTube's iPhone app back then Patrick
gave his viewers a unique glimpse into
life at a prestigious tech company
through his Daya life videos cool things
about working at Google is that you have
access to every one of their offices in
the world I see co-workers taking a trip
maybe to New York or to some other
country so let's check it out I wanted
to show it to you guys and he offered
technical advice in which programming
languages aspiring software Engineers
should learn to enhance their skills the
most important thing is to always keep
learning here's the key answer think of
the companies that you want to work work
for and go to their job's website and
look up what requirements they're asking
for while a majority of Patrick's
content was professional in nature there
were times when he didn't take himself
too seriously and showed a more jval
side um the feedback has been uh fairly
negative up to this point are you sure
you want to waste my time with this I
just want to make sure that we're using
our time productively uh I value your
time what's uh so what uh what what what
is this supposed to be here Patrick's
unparalleled insight into the tech World
dead pen demeanor and occasional comedic
Outburst drw was in by the tens of
thousands some looked at him as a useful
resource for furthering their Tech
careers While others simply enjoyed a
strange mannerisms on camera but the
unifying Factor behind the community
Patrick built was his simple yet
unorthodox approach to Tech content
unfortunately Patrick's time as a Google
employee would come to an end sometime
in
2017 which later forced him to find
employment at Facebook in May of 2018
how however due to reasons that will be
made clear later in the video Patrick
would be fired from Facebook a little
over a year later out of a job and
stripped from the titles at once to find
him Patrick was forced to seek other
Revenue sources and decided his YouTube
Community was his best bet he was very
aware of the impact his content had on
aspiring engineers and sought to
monetize his audience in every way
possible despite no longer having his
prestigious job title at Google that
didn't stop him from using it to boost
his various marketing efforts Patrick
started by by en listing all his early
Vlogs and began selling the first season
for $20 when I first started making my
YouTube channel I talked about all sorts
of different topics and later on I would
take down these videos while there was
technically nothing wrong with him
monetizing his old catalog this would
serve as the first step in Tech lead's
journey to squeeze every single penny
out of his viewers in the following
months Tech lead shifted his content
from purely educational to marketing
videos GE towards showing off how
wealthy he was as a software developer a
key indicator of the shift on priorities
was the addition of as a millionaire in
the title of his videos and the
promotion of different training programs
in the description of his videos back
then no one had thought twice about
Patrick's ever increasing push to
monetize his viewers since he had built
up a reputation as a down-to-earth
engineer with his prior Vlogs sadly
Patrick's reputation was about to take a
turn for the worst as someone in this
community decided to take a closer look
at what exactly he was promoting on the
8th of November 2019 a YouTuber by the
name of Tren black published a video
titled Tech lead and jch the worst of
the tech industry which meant to
Showcase and criticize the unsavory
parts of tech lead's businesses do you
want to learn how to become a sellout as
an ex Google X Facebook ex married
millionaire Tech lead this man sells
snake oil with enough affiliate
marketing to set off an ad Walker I used
to watch a lot of J Tech I mean I even
sent him this email but times have
change and today I'll show you why J
tech tech lead and their products are
utter garbage Tren went on to expose how
Tech lead and gerch had teamed up to
copy the product of their former sponsor
algo expert while offering an inferior
product it's been brought to our
attention that for the past week or so
there's been this domain out there that
is using the algoexpert brand but that
isn't algoexpert.io
and when you type that domain or URL in
your browser you get redirected to some
completely different website that we are
in no way affiliated to however Trends
issues wenten with the plagiarism but
with the fact that we're only reviewing
questions from late CS CD's website and
charging people $100 for it my problem
is that if you're going to [Â __Â ] people
out of $100 couldn't you guys at least
make something that would help them so
their product if you don't know is
basically an explanation of 50 popular
interview questions which doesn't sound
too bad that sounds like a decent
product but let's check it out to the
first problem here yep so if we look at
the screen here it's a validate binary
Searcher see right off the bat these
questions are just stolen straight from
lead code the problems didn't stop there
as Tren pointed out the Absurd
conditions in Tech lead's refund policy
let's look at this refund policy if you
are dissatisfied for any reason we offer
a 14-day refund period for purchases if
less than 40% of the total course
material has been view however in order
to qualify for a refund you must submit
proof that you did the work in the
course and it did not work for you no
notice how they kind of trap you into
this impossible scenario so you must
submit proof that you actually did the
work in the course so if you don't do
the course no refund how do you prove
that do you literally have to get
rejected from an interview while tren's
criticism of the course was mild at best
and could have easily been solved
Patrick decided to take a vastly
different approach and filed a false
copyright strike to silence the critic
by the 12th of November 2019 Tren would
make a follow-up video to let viewers
know why the first video was Tak taken
down around 400 up vots I start getting
a lot of messages and comments on my
email on my Instagram on Reddit that
says dude Tech lead copyright strike due
so I check and I go back to my video and
it says your video has been removed due
to a copyright strike from Patrick Shu
also known as the tech lead Tren also
shared a message he received from
Patrick that boardline threatened him to
quote not make enemies I received a
message from Tech lead himself Tech lead
here a bit of friendly advice don't
create enemies it doesn't do you me or
our community any good regarding Clement
and me it's such a mess I'd rather not
air our dirty laundry in the public to
mostly uninterested people it was mostly
a boring story and we're friends and
competitors along with presenting a now
deleted comment that Patrick left on his
former sponsors video Tren stated that
it was blatantly trying to offer a
sponsorship deal in exchange for his
silence anyway I think you have a nice
YouTube channel I checked out a few
videos and there's great potential let
me know if you ever want to be an
affiliate for Tech series and help
improve people's lives instead of
spending time criticizing we do 50%
Revenue shared and would love to have
your channel on board if you're
interested he is essentially offering to
pay me in order for me to stop making
negative opinions about him in his
response Patrick would flat out lie
about not being able to retract a
copyright strike and would attempt to
justify his horrible business practices
by saying no one else in the industry
could offer the same insight as he did
reading I can't retract a copyright
strike I recommend if you wish to
criticize me simply remove the imagery
of me and reupload the knowledge I have
have to share is something almost no one
in the industry will do have a good one
and let me know if you ever want to
promote our stuff instead of taking a
hard look at the subp parkour he was
selling Patrick was fixated on the
financial gain and his status as an ex
gooogle developer he had zero tolerance
for criticism and would go to any length
to sweep it under the rug even going as
far as deleting negative reviews on his
subreddit I got this comment from
someone who actually bought and paid for
algo Pro too long didn't read it just
says that algopro sucks but what struck
me as interesting is his first sentence
here he said he posted it on the
techlead subreddit but it was then
removed now Tech lead's the moderator of
that subreddit so it's clear to me that
he removed this review simply because it
was negative even though it was
completely honest so I can only conclude
that the reason he removed my video was
because it was a negative review working
at a lar tech company inflated Patrick's
ego to a point that no form of negative
criticism was valid and everyone that he
came across owed him the highest level
of respect just take a look at the
comment he left on a Channel of someone
he called a friend let me reply to this
whole domain issue Clement got greedy
and decreased the affiliate commission
percentage in any case stop being a
crybaby this is nothing personal we just
helped a student land triple offers at
Facebook Google and apple through our
mentoring and don't forget respect the
tech lead fortunately for Tren Patrick
would see reason and remove the
copyright strike on his channel but
sadly that wasn't the end of their
interaction on the 29th of April 2020
Tren made yet another video feature
Patrick but this time the issue wasn't a
copyright strike it was doxing I wanted
to inform you that I will be responding
to your serious and false allegations by
publishing a social media post calling
you out I will use both our full names
so we're not hiding behind anomy
remember techlead only has my full name
and my information because he falsely
copyright stried me right it's
understandable if you want to defend
yourself online but I really hope you
don't release my name online I've kept
this private for a reason I have my face
in my video so clearly I'm not Anonymous
so then he just goes on a huge test
engent and basically says I'm going to
dox you if you don't take your video
down good luck while Patrick didn't
follow through with the post he added
IND doxing Tren by giving his full legal
name to another Creator he criticized
Matt TR apparently Matt wanted to
revenge on Tren for making a critical
video about him and reached out to
Patrick for his details after a series
of threats Matt released trend's details
in an article geared towards ruining his
reputation and future job opportunities
Patrick's actions jeopardized a fellow
Creator's career Prospect making it
nearly impossible for Tren to fight back
alone thankfully Tren had a really good
friend willing to back him up
coffeezilla hey guys wanted to make a
short video um to speak up for a friend
of mine who's been
silenced and doxed and blackmailed and
threatened by two YouTubers who are much
bigger than him and I feel like he
doesn't have the platform to defend
himself both in terms of his audience
reach and in terms of the fact that
anytime he posts a video it's
immediately copyright stried Coffey
would go to state his role in trying to
prevent the docking and confirmed that
Patrick was responsible for the entire
situation unfolding the way it did I
asked Matt Tran if this is indeed where
he got the information from let me ask
you did did uh Tech lead get or did you
get the name from Tech lead yeah yeah to
add insult to injury now Trin black is
put in a position where his full name
has been doxed due to YouTube's absurd
copyright system due to Tech lead's
absurd abuse of the system but now now
after posting a video about it that
video was then falsely taken down by
Tech lead the video that trim black
posted had zero footage of techlead in
it and guess what tech lead claimed that
video so no one can see it coffe zilla's
video would go into become a catalyst
for more people hearing about the story
which forced Patrick to retract his
copyright strikes and Matt to give an
apology however Patrick wouldn't be so
humble as to recognize the error of his
ways and made a video titled my response
addressing my haters as a millionaire
Trend black mat TR drama I can come up
here and give this amazing speech that
would totally justify my existence and
make me look like this pure innocent
Angel but I have a feeling that my
haters are still not going to accept
that some people they just don't like
the way I look it's a personal thing
they just don't like my appearance maybe
I remind them of somebody who round them
in the past maybe they're jealous of My
Success or jealous of my failures and
there are a lot of people out there who
are simply racist from the start Patrick
saw nothing wrong with his toxic
behavior and framed the hate he
rightfully received as racism say

way with day sponsor the fume the
award-winning device that's all natural
the start I wasn't sure what to think

that being said let's get back into the
video after another 7 Minutes of
stroking his ego Patrick would finally
address the doxing and sadly it was more
of the same but anyways I did want to
quickly address the whole TR Black Matt
TR drama I don't know if you've been
caught up with this but you the story is
essentially that Tren black has been
accusing Matt Tran of doxing him and
somehow my name got dragged into all of
this his whole channel is based on
roasting other people his two biggest
videos have been on roasting me trolling
me and I believe that he basically just
dragged my name into this mess because
he knew that my channel was bigger I
have more subscribers people don't
really know who Matt Tran is if he wants
the views he needs to come after me zero
accountability self-awareness or regard
for his audience and critics these
scumbag qualities had gotten Patrick on
coffee zala's radar once and and it was
about to happen again for the second
time unfortunately for Patrick he
wouldn't get away scotf free this time
on the 1st of July
2021 Patrick would publish a video
announcing his latest money-making
opportunity million token a
cryptocurrency he claimed would go to
the Moon today marks the start of a
brand new Journey for you for me for all
of us I'm glad you could join us because
today we are launching a brand new
digital currency the currency's name
million token and so million token is
literally a million doll opportunity I'm
putting a million dollars of my own
money into this to get it started but
this coin can Skyrocket in price it can
take us to the moon so what is million
token what's the concept well it's like
this million token is much like a stable
coin one token equals $1 us per million
token the supply is fixed there's only 1
million tokens total worldwide no more
can ever be created as guaranteed by the
smart contract code Patrick would go in
to make even more bold claims about the
future of million token and desperately
try to sell viewers on the potential
value of this coin the token start at an
initial minimum base value of one token
equals $1 us but the value can actually
rise higher than that because there's
only a total limited fixed supply of a
million tokens total no more can ever be
created Patrick was banking on the claim
that his tokens already had a $1
valuation to incentivize viewers into
buying and promoting the coin to inflate
the value there was Zero utility behind
the token and Patrick knew it that's why
he was more focused on the upside if
viewers were gullible enough to pay for
it is this a decent store of value and I
would say well yes it seems like it is
because it is a fixed total Max Supply
just 1 million tokens you cannot create
more and so the token is deflationary in
nature and over time its scarcity should
only increase thus increasing the value
of the coin while there was some viewers
that believed Patrick's claims without
any critical consideration others were
more skeptical with with comments
reading so you're scamming does this
coin create value or just make you rich
as well as remember this video this is a
point you're going down in the video
description Patrick left a link to the
million token website and audience
members who took the time to look
through were greeted by a very telling
disclaimer million token is a social
experiment by purchasing million token
you agree that you are not purchasing a
security or investment contract and you
agree to hold the team harmless and not
liable for any losses or taxes you may
incur by Patrick's own admission the
million token wasn't a viable Financial
opportunity or store of value but that
reality didn't stop people from putting
their hard- earned money on the line
within the first two weeks of the token
going live the price sold over
$250 with a trading volume of more than
120 million in the short term people
were blinded by the potential to turn a
quick profit however in the long term
the only person that would make that
profit was Patrick and Killa was about
to prove it on the 7th of August 2012 21
coffeezilla would return to expose
Patrick's latest scam with the video
titled Tech lead scammed you with
million token as a millionaire let's
talk about tech lead's million token
what is it what does it do who's it
helping I'm going to walk you through
all of it and also not to give too much
away but I will at the end of this video
also crunch the numbers and show you
exactly how much money Tech lead has
made with this coin and the answer is
millions of dollars to give viewers a
comprehensive scope of what exactly was
going on coffeezilla outlined what
million token was and how Patrick
blatantly lied to his audience while
promoting it he made it sound like he
was really investing in this coin but
the reality was there was never a chance
he could lose money number two he was
careful with his words to avoid calling
this an investment but also makes it
sound like you'll get rich three he's
been siphoning money into shell accounts
and four he's been running ads in which
he lies about this cryptocurrency coffee
went on to provide proof that Patrick
never invested a million doar into the
token in fact Patrick had only put
$50,000 into the project while using
money from buys to make up the
difference from the blockchain that Tech
lead did not put a million dollar into
this in actual fact he started with the
entire Supply this is million token he
was given the entire Supply at the very
launch he didn't pay for it instead as
he sold million token he used that money
that you guys bought it with to back the
coins the premise behind Patrick's
so-called opportunity was a bold-faced
lie but even that was only the tip of
the iceberg to further push his scam
token to a wider audience petrog Grant
adds to promote million token while
refusing to disclose he was the one who
created the coin he got an ad for
million token. org which featured Tech
lead's video Shilling it and what's
shocking about this besides the fact
that he's advertising his own channel
and this coin is that he never discloses
in the video that he created the coin
instead he pitches it as if he just
found it randomly coffee continued by
exposing just how much Patrick had taken
from the audience so I traced all the
transactions this guy made in a big
spreadsheet um and then just categorized
who they were to who they were from this
is for all the usdc pools the
multi-million token pools and according
to my calculations Tech lead has pulled
out and siphoned into a bunch of shell
accounts a total of
$3.3 million after discovering the truth
behind million token coffeezilla would
confront Patrick on his dubious claims
and had to say so the first part is he
confirms that he did just put in $50,000
he later says I'm putting a million
dollars of my own money into this to get
it started that he believed he deployed
another 50,000 but this was from what
you guys spent on million tokens so that
is confirmed Patrick defended his scheme
by claiming the community was valuable
and therefore not a Ponzi scheme is this
a Ponzi scheme it depends on whether you
think the community has value if you
think marketing community and brand have
no value then certainly this would be
Zero Sum wow but I think you can just
look at Coca-Cola or Nike and see that
brands do have value hey those brands
have products guys now you think after
getting exposed for lying manipulating
and stealing from his audience that
Patrick would at least keep his mouth
shut unfortunately his pride and disdain
for criticism wouldn't allow that as he
retaliated in the most vindictive way
possible by the 11th of August 2021
coffeezilla covered Patrick's now
deleted response video as well as going
over how he got doxed and was called
racist ladies and gentlemen Tech has
responded brace yourselves he's gone
full damage control panic mode including
calling me racist for exposing his scam
in his typical fashion Patrick deflected
criticism by saying other people were
complaining and being victims he goes
around basically calling project scams
and maybe he generates some good press
for himself he virtue signals and then
people think that he's a hero for
calling everything a scam life is a scam
okay he's a hero this is really just
victim mentality thankfully Patrick
would admit that he lied about the
initial investment in million token and
you know to clarify okay when I started
the project I bootstrapped with 50,000
USD coins paired to 50,000 million
tokens that's exactly what I said so
he's admitting it he did not put in a
million dollars of his own money he used
your money however that was the only
responsible thing Patrick did throughout
the video as he spent the rest of it
virtue signaling and putting him on a
pedestal and so it's kind of like genas
Khan Napoleon or Captain Blackbeard
these iconic historical figures and you
know some of these people were even
villains sure you could say that Captain
Blackbeard was a scammer he even killed
people and yet they are legends in
history and there is a value with these
people the delusion didn't stop there as
Patrick assumed facing any consequences
for his actions would raise the value of
million token and make him a legend I
bet that if I were to get arrested and
go to jail the price of million token
would Skyrocket because it would just be
legendary coffee Zilla would close out
the video by exposing how vengeful
Patrick was to dock him by posting
already debunked information on Twitter
oh and uh I almost forgot like yeah he
also tried to dox me yeah almost left
that out of this piece using an old
debunk piece of blackmail that we talked
about in this video remember this is the
thing swag Academy tried to catch me out
on but uh retracted immediately because
it's literal blackmail and a doc the way
Patrick reacted to Coffee zill video was
identical to what he did with Tren black
blackmailing slandering and doxing
someone who presents genuine criticism
all the while making himself out to be
the hero shortly after coffee zilla's
exposed videos viewers began waking up
to just how deceptive Patrick was but it
was already too late the price of
million token had dropped by over 80%
and as of this recording it sits at a
price of
$1.5 slowly but surely Patrick's once
loyal audience began losing interest in
his channels and stopped watching his
content as the views dwindled his
subscribe account stagnated and dislikes
increased Patrick decided to make an
exit by deleting a majority of his
previous uploads however YouTube
wouldn't be the only place Patrick would
lose all credibility in May of 2022
Patrick would make a series of unhinged
tweets about his time interviewing
people at Google reading so when I used
to conduct interviews for Google I
rejected all women on the spot and
trashed their resumés in front of them
it didn't take long for the statement to
make headlines and for most Silicon
Valley companies to Blacklist him
Patrick started out as a positive and
relatable figure in the tech space
freely giving out valuable insight and
advice to younger developers now he's
telling them that they're nothing but
grunt workers if they pursue that line
of work software engineering ultimately
is kind of a it's not exactly High
status work High status work would be
the type of job that you would want to
do even if you were Rich something like
say directing a movie being an actor
maybe being a novelist or a painter
something that would get you some social
credibility money status and his pride
were the only things that mattered to
Patrick and he was willing to throw
everything away for that sadly money is
the only thing he has left since no one
else is willing to touch his brand or
name with a 10-ft pole
