A judge has suggested removing Logan Paul’s former assistant from a lawsuit linked to the failed CryptoZoo non-fungible token (NFT) project, according to a court document submitted on July 7.
On July 7, US Magistrate Judge Ronald C. Griffin stated that Danielle Strobel, who once worked closely with Paul and held a small share in CryptoZoo, should not remain in the case.
He explained that the court in Texas does not have the legal authority to require her to defend herself.

CryptoZoo was presented to the public as a game built on blockchain technology. Buyers were told they could earn rewards through tokens and digital animals. However, the project never became fully active, and the value of the NFTs and tokens dropped quickly.
Strobel’s role in the project involved early access to tokens and some behind-the-scenes tasks, but she did not promote the platform publicly. Judge Griffin noted that her involvement was not aimed at people in Texas, which meant the court could not claim legal control over her part in the case.
The people suing had asked to either update their complaint or investigate more details about Strobel’s involvement. However, the judge denied the request.
He stated that the plaintiffs had not shown that Strobel was aware of or involved in any harmful actions by others working on the project.
