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 [ __ ] 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

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
