At his peak, Jay Mazzini saw himself as an untouchable influencer who could get away ruthlessly praying on unsuspecting fans. With the $20 first 500 people to tweet. However, that delusion was shattered when Coffie Zilla decided it was not just time to end Jay's crypto schemes, but his entire career. We are uncovering quite possibly the largest giveaway scam in history and the crazy thing is that it's still going on right now as we speak. Hi, I'm the internet anarchist. I create weekly YouTube documentaries and today we'll be looking into the deceitful career of one of Instagram's scumiest influencers, Jay Mazzini, how he manipulated, stole and scammed his audience for years, and what happened after his schemes put him in Coffie Zilla's crosshair. On the 11th of December 2020, Coffie Zilla uploaded a video titled The $100 million scam that's still going on. Throughout the video, he would alert viewers to a very insidious scam that was spreading on Instagram.

This is the side that Jay Mazzini wants you to see. He has a bunch of posts on his Instagram everywhere where he's giving away money, but the question is where did he get this money? Well, he'll tell you he owns an academy where he teaches trading and he also owns a clothing company called Mazzini Italy. Coffie Zilla went on to reveal that Jay's acts of curiosity weren't fueled by the profits of a legitimate business, but by a lie, he was peddling to impressionable viewers. This is going to be a mystery box, minimum order of three Mazzini products in order to win maybe $10,000, maybe $20,000, maybe $30,000. See, this is how Jay Mazzini really makes his money. He does giveaways where he will say for the next X number of orders, I'll be giving you back money. And it's not like an insignificant amount. This is often life-changing amounts of money, but the requirement is you have to buy products from his site, MazziniItaly.com in order to enter to win. Paying for the possibility of winning a prize

was a hotel sign of a giveaway scam, but that didn't stop Jay from making several outlandish claims. For the next thousand orders, I'll be placing in 12,000 on each order. 12,000 dollars! I know most of you guys already smell a gigantic scam. Essentially, Jay was using the public giveaway videos on his Instagram page to manipulate viewers into believing they stood a chance at getting similar outcomes. However, once he assumed winners had their orders fulfilled, they quickly realized that the only person getting paid was Jay. I wasn't alive with Jay Mazzini. He told me I won $2,000. I have screen recording of everything. Now I am taking these up. I supposed to believe one. I was alive and I still did it one. Of course, nothing's in the bags. Guys, I mean, this should not come as a surprise to anyone. You literally cannot do this giveaway. It's impossible. So what does this mean? It means that if Jay Mazzini's telling the truth and his clothing lines worth $8 million, he basically created that

from nothing by telling people he's going to give away all this money. While Jay suffered minor consequences like public outcry and getting his PayPal banned for fraudulent activities, he still maintained his innocence by claiming that at least his audience received a product. This is how he reconciles not paying people money. On a lot of people lost at the end of the day, you get in a product. Jay even went as far as turning the blame on viewers for expecting money in the first place. To illustrate the length of Jay's web of lies, Coffee Zillet calculated the total amount of money he promised his viewers. It's never delivered on, as well as how much he made off their trust in him. They calculated out how much money he's promised and it's $100 million. He's promised over $100 million and the maximum he could have made from those $100 million is $7 million in sales.

Coincidentally, pretty close to what he says his company is worth. $8 million, not worth. I'm not saying like I said before. I don't have a million cash, looking at him now, you'd assume Jay always had been a con man. But initially that didn't seem to be the case. Back in 2017, Jay presented himself as a legitimate businessman who specialized in retail products and seemed to be more focused on furthering his faith rather than finances. Sometimes you gotta realize there's more to life than materialistic things, cars, fashion, jewelry. I never used to pray back in the days. I never used to be really happy back in the days. I never found real happiness until now. So now I'm Saudi Arabia. I'm praying right with a profit used to pray. As you'd imagine, that kind of message resonated with a small but loyal fan base that genuinely looked up to Jay with comments reading, what we're waiting on for long on YouTube. We love you for this egg of Allah. Keep spreading the love. Continue inspiring brother, as well as Amen brother. Continue to inspire and spreading love throughout our world.

Although Jay didn't do it alone, as he frequently piggybacked on the credibility of recognizable celebrities, like Nikki Jam and 50 Cent. At best, Jay was an average guy who leveraged social media cloud to sell white labor products. At worst, he was a manipulative grifter that weaponized fake generosity for personal gain. Unfortunately, Jay was only getting started on his quest to rip off anyone who bought into his phony philanthropy. By early 2021, Jay adopted a more aggressive approach to doping his viewers. Instead of selling a product, Jay sold his audience a dream of garnering massive returns by sending him Bitcoin. With a tweet from Covi Zilla reading, he's telling people he's buying Bitcoin 5% above asking. And will send a quote, why a transfer, but requires you to send the coin first. Don't fall for this. So why am I buying Bitcoin? Because I believe it's one of the greatest things invested as of now. For the ones that are selling Bitcoin, I'm still buying just the why I can't buy. Sometimes you have limits on certain exchanges on platforms that Coinbase, Kraken, Lajor, Binance.

Covi Zilla continued to raise the heed on Jay's crypto ventures by analyzing his methods of manipulation when talking to victims privately. So again, after he sends it, the wire transfer isn't there. He supposedly sent it. So he says, okay, am I getting the point 9 coin? He doesn't get it. He says, I sent a wire for 81,000. You should receive it in two to three business days at the most. Classic scam. This guy says, I texted the morning, you said you just send the coin today. Are you going to wait till you get the wire then send it? This guy says, wire has been cancelled. Who are you for me to send you the funds first? Then you send me the coin. Sorry, I'm not obligated to trust you first. Thankfully, some bands were able to see right through it and to call up Jay on his BS. Now, this guy correctly responds, neither in my bro, you're asking me to send you point 9 Bitcoin or $35,000 just because you texted me this. You didn't show me any proof either. It's really sad to see this kind of stuff coming from you, bro. I always thought you're a really legit guy with a good heart, but you high key cheating people. Yo, bro, I don't know you from a hole in the wall to send you anything first. Who are you? If anything, you're cheating me. You want me to wait for funds to reach you so I can say, oh Jay, I'm not going to run. I'm

supposed to trust you first. Okay, classic manipulation. Unfortunately, Jay wasn't satisfied with just praying on random people and set his sights on exploiting people in his local community. On the 2nd of March 2021, coffees illa covered yet another ongoing investment scam from Jay. That's where I'm extract the life savings of dozens of his fellow Muslim brothers and sisters. A lawsuit just came out from the state of New York and Jay Mazzini and some of his cronies are listed in here where he is now created a whole thing called Halal Capital. Okay, this is for Muslims, people of faith, and it was a community like investment opportunity. Apparently, Jay convinced a well-respected member of his local Muslim community to help him collect money from local business owners under the pretense of investing it in worthwhile ventures. He used this guy, Nur Raba. He is a resident of the state of New York, and he was a funeral director and a community activist. Jay described himself as a licensed financial professional and

expert investor who had grown his wealth several times. And Jay Mazzini wanted to basically give away stuff, give away money to the community. However, when it came time to return on set investment, Jay refused to fulfill his end of the deal. Instead of paying them, Jay Mazzini made a series of excuses, including that investments were delayed by COVID-19 pandemic and appealing to their shared religious background as evidence of his good faith. Whenever Nur expressed concern about the investor's funds, Jay Mazzini would deflect with references to his own extraordinary wealth at times even offering to personally guarantee investments. The scheme unravels further. In response to Jay's blatant dishonesty, his former business partner moved to resolve things in court, which makes sense considering there were millions of dollars at stake. According to this lawsuit, the entire fund that he raised was $10 million in funding from people. These are people's life savings that are invested with this man, this con man. Pressure from both the legal system

and his local community would force Jay to make up one of his most outlandish lies yet. Well, the payments were scheduled for August didn't happen. Then August 22nd, pay attention, pay attention. Jay Mazzini advised Nur that he had been robbed at gunpoint. Hey, does anybody buy that? So, I'm supposed to give you your money, I was going to give it to you, but oops, I was robbed. He says that he didn't know the exact amount stolen, but he estimated it to be in millions of dollars. And he said, oh, oops, it was all stolen in cash and then he had little to nothing left for payouts. The fact that Jay expected people to believe his dubious claims was a testament to how delusional he had become. But sadly, this wouldn't be the last time Jay let his overinflated eager run wild. Within days of coffee zillas video going live, two victims of Jay's crypto scam came forwards to share details of how they'll cond out of millions in the span of only a few days. Now, our two victims today are Waffee and Ahmed. We'll be hearing from both of them, one of them lost about $200,000, the other $750,000. Interestingly, our last story on Jay

was eaten yesterday, got quite a lot of buzz and he even responded to it. Saying in a story, quote, easy to target someone that has a big name audience, but the truth will prevail. While there were certain differences in how Jay approached each victim, there were key patterns that he followed in order to gather their trust and eventually their money. First of all, he openly provided several critical means of identification, like passports, and KWC to mitigate any suspicions. Jay wanted them to believe that it was too credible and while knowing to take advantage of them and he succeeded. I told myself who with such visibility and popularity or whatever followers he has, even though it could be fake and that he sent his full full name, full pass for me, it means it's him. I don't know what he's going through in his life, maybe to burn people like that. He's playing games with people and he played with the wrong guy because I'm going to do everything in my possible to get him stopped to retrieve my funds and to protect others from this guy because it's a real hassle to get your money back after.

Upon receiving payments, Jay began bombarding them with hollet promises and fake wire transfers. I sent them about $18,000, $20,000 worth of Bitcoin over the weekend. That's what I was able to send and I told them to wait until Monday to get them a large amount. So by Monday, I had contacted and wired them almost $800,000, $750,000, wired them their money so they sent the Bitcoin directly to the address he's provided. He confirmed receiving the Bitcoin on Monday, he issued a bank wire which when you issue a bank wire, it's basically a look at it as a certified check, you can't cancel a bank wire. Even after being confronted on his wire, Jay would only become more aggressive and frame himself as the victim. This is a fake confirmation that he as criminals when you when you quarter them and show them that they you know exactly what they're up to, they try to attack you back and say you're doing this, you're doing that, you're a bullshitter, you're this and they start cursing you out and stuff and that for me, I don't. This

respect isn't isn't going to get him out of this situation. Simply I said I need my money back when simply ghosting his victims wasn't an option. Jay employed more evasive tactics to keep him from facing any real consequences. By the 6th of March 2021, copies are the interview to victim of Halal Capital who witnessed just how vile Jay could be when it's not hiding behind a screen. It's ridiculous how many people that this man has allegedly scam now as a quick reminder. We're talking about 3.5 million dollars allegedly lost by Jay Mazzini. The person we are talking to is one of the members of Halal Capital, one of the investors who has not received his money, has not received his interest, has been chasing this guy down trying to fight him and I am stunned. Similar to previous victims, Jay would tell or show them whatever they wanted to hear in order to get them to drop their guard and money. But the only difference this time was that he relied on physical force to postpone the inevitable. Two days go by after constantly pressuring them,

they finally get us to come to sit down to a family friend's house, not even at his house. They are not even man enough to bring us into their own houses. I go there with the meat and newer and to other individuals, we're greeted by three bodyguards for a simple sit down. For something that we're coming to collect our rights. Even though Jay was occupied with constantly avoiding his victims, he made sure to carve out time to bolster his image in the public eye. Now from August up until October, we're going to pay you back, you just got to wait. We have this legacy castle thing coming going on in September. He had this convention done where he had these rappers come in fabulous and ludicrous. These are people to boost up his image to show that he's a prominent figure. He makes these millions that he's able to drug off $18 million. It's not nothing. Nothing, right? We weren't there. We showed our faces. We were there. He was spooked up. He

didn't want us there at all. By now, Jay knew it was too late to salvage his credibility and moved to wipe all evidence from a social media platform. Today, we're talking about Jay Masini and reflecting on the fact that all his stuff has sort of been taken down by himself. By the way, it seems like from what I can tell, I think he just deactivated it. And I'm not even going to say he's going to be off the internet forever. But at least for now, he can't scam people. It's a huge win. I showed what he was doing and he decided that he didn't want to live on an internet where people knew that he was scamming people. While there were upsides to Jay living the internet, there was still a possibility that he might flee the country and turn the case cold. Fortunately, Coffisilla and the victims wouldn't need to worry about that since Jay was already working hard to ensure his own downfall. On the 18th of March 2021, Coffisilla would share some unexpected developments regarding Jay's whereabouts and pleaded with any remaining victims to contact him immediately. A lot of times we talk about fake gurus, nothing happens. In this case, he was arrested

and not for the reason you think because it wasn't for Bitcoin. It wasn't for the clothing scam. It wasn't for any of the scams that we've covered on this channel. And in fact, I'm still asking for information. If you've been scammed in the Bitcoin scam and you are in the New York City area, DM me in the next 24 hours. While there were aspects of the case, Coffisilla couldn't share, he was able to present a recently published court document that explained why Jay was in police custody. The charges shall we because these are unbelievable. Here's the main charge kidnapping. Jay Mazzini was arrested for kidnapping, aggravated assault, luring or enticing of an adult. So he kidnapped an adult is what we know publicly. Possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose. Criminal coercion, threat to inflict bodily injury.

Endangering of an injured victim and terroristic threats, threat of crime or of violence. Defrauding people was one thing, but kidnapping and assaulting someone was a whole different story. Ultimately, these new charges would make it impossible for Jay to flee the country. And he had front row seats to the end of his criminal career. By the 24th of March, 2024, during a court proceeding in which the defense intended to argue for his release from Jay, Jay would be told the worst news of his life. Are we ready to proceed with the detention theory? You're on our I'm not sure if you're going to receive an email I sent a couple hours ago that come to our attention that the FBI has put a detainer or hold on our client. That was placed on him last night. When asked about the new charges from the FBI, Jay's attorney had this to say they consented to the detention. There's a FBI detainer. Is that related to charges? Council? Yes, it charges. Correct judge. There were wire fraud charges that were issued last night.

Jay stole millions of dollars from innocent people without a second thought and is only now growing a conscience in the face of decades behind bars. It's also worth noting that this outcome would have been possible without the willingness of victims to step forwards and share their stories. The victims came forward. They're the ones who in the FBI's complaint are the reason that he's going down. You know, but it made me realize like it doesn't take a lot of victims standing up for themselves to take a bad person down. Yes. But the problem is victims don't stand up. And like that's one thing that I'm really fighting against is this mentality of like, oh, I don't have to fight back. Like I just was scanned. Whatever. It's like that got actually your buddy Mark Morgan was saying on the show. He's like, these people, they didn't do anything when I scam them. And that's the wrong approach. You should do something. You have rights. They've been violated. Go do something. You can affect change. Like report it to the FBI. Report it to people. And justice does get served in a lot of these cases, man. They really does. While this was a major win for everyone J stole from there was still victims willing to obscure the truth for personal gain. During a live

stream, Kovizilla would reference a critical interview. He was unable to share due to unforeseen factors. Hakeem Seaf's high coffee wears the victim's interview. I want to talk about this. So I'm pissed. I get this interview with this guy. He's been kidnapped. The kidnapping victim. I interview him and he wants to go on the show. Like I didn't pressure him. I was like, you want to do this? Are you sure? Yeah, man. It's fine. Let's do it. So we record it. I go, are you sure? We're good. Like we're good. I should edit this. Yeah, yeah, man. I'm fine with releasing it. I edit the entire video. He goes to me before you release it. I said, cool. That's fine. I send this guy the finished video. It's finished. We can't release this. Why? I the detective call. I don't I shouldn't say too much. Basically, the guy said, the guy basically had second thoughts. Thankfully, it wouldn't be long before more details on the kidnapping were made public. Back in August of 2021, Kovizilla would revisit James Eeney's case

to explore recent criminal charges his wife was facing. Arrested on July 14th for conspiracy to commit kidnapping. Not only that on July 22nd, she was also charged with witness tampering and bribery. Holy crap. So this one, she didn't even just get the kidnapping charge. She also got a witness tampering and bribery charge. So obviously, the question is, who was she bribing? What are we talking about here? Apparently, several accomplices, including this guy repeatedly tried to bribe the kidnapping victim into dropping the charges, said the prosecutor. So that's what she's in trouble for. Her, along with other people, are charged with trying to bribe this guy right here who got beat up by Jay. And I guess his squad, his goon squad. Ironically, the kidnapping Jay staged to protect his online image would end up being the catalyst for its destruction. From the daily voice they did a

good story on this, Iggbara, that's Jay Eeney, picked up the 25 year old victim at the 7-11 on Palisade Avenue in Fort Leigh on March 15th on the pretense of wanting to talk over coffee. The victim, who'd apparently trashed him online, apparently got hinky, okay, when two of Iggbara's associates got into the 2020 land rover. So he got off and sped off in his own car. The crew chased the victim down, beat him, shoved him in the back of Iggbara's SUV, the complaint says, they stripped him naked, held him a shetty to his neck and told the victim to remove negative social media posts he'd made about Iggbara it set. Still, the kidnapping victim would eventually be taken into custody for accepting a bribe from Jay. In this video, I'm going to talk about what happened, who's responsible and what it means. Let's go. Coffee's illa went on to account the events surrounding the interview that led a victim to being active hindrance in the case. Crazy story that has been

reported on a lot and we talked about it during that show afterwards he came to me and said, hey, Steven, don't show this thing because of the fact that hey, I'm working with detectives. I don't know if they're ready to have the story up. I say fair enough, but I'm not trying to hurt your now. During that time, Jay Mazzini's locked up and I guess it's coming out now that the family of Jay Mazzini then approached MJ moves, the guy who was kidnapped with kind of a what seems like a bribery deal, okay, about his statement to the feds. This is the headline, man allegedly kidnapped by Jay Mazzini, charged with taking bribe to recant statement. Sadly, the victim decided to put a price on his honesty and accepted their offer. This is the headline, man allegedly kidnapped by Jay Mazzini, charged with taking bribe to recant statement. And apparently our boy MJ accepted this thing

and got what allegedly in a hundred thousand dollar payment in return for a new statement that was meant to facilitate the release of one of the defendants from jail, AKA Jay Mazzini. What's even more pathetic about this outcome was that it could have been completely avoided if he listened to coffee zilla. I still want to respect his privacy to some extent as much as I can, but essentially the conversation was you're not thinking of taking a bribe are you and he's like, well, I can't tell you that. Basically, I'm like, don't do it. That's idiotic. I just, because I had all I had heard of his rumors. I didn't know what was true. What was not. I just heard rumors from some of the various people covering this. I said, this is a terrible idea. You do not do that. It's going to hurt the victims who have been affected by Jay Mazzini. And now it looks like he allegedly took it. Okay. And of course, it looks like I was right that it was of course a bad idea to take a bribe, you know, because he was arrested for this and charged with accepting the bribe. Fee is Jay desperately tried to cover up all traces of his crimes. However, by November

2023, Jay had no other option but to plead guilty to said crimes. 24 hours ago, I listened on a call as the popular Instagram influencer Jay Mazzini pled guilty to many of the crimes I accused him of two years ago. And finally, today, I can say it's no longer a legit. He said he did it. And now he faced a serious prison time for his, according to the United States attorney's office, Jay was sentenced to seven years in prison for quote, wire fraud, wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering arising out of multiple schemes that resulted in millions of dollars in lost to trusting investors. Looking back, Jay's overconfidence, greed and manipulative tendencies were arguably the greatest factors in his downfall. On numerous occasions, Jay felt he was invincible and arrogantly stole from everyone around him. Fortunately, Jay's killer mistakes would provide all the evidence, coffee zilla and law enforcement needed to put him behind bars. While Jay's conviction forced him to face the consequences of his actions, it would later become apparent that he hadn't learned from his mistakes. On the 9th of July 2023, Jay would create a TikTok account and

share the video proclaiming his eventual return to social media. This is my official Instagram, the Jane Zini. So I'll keep you guys up to date. I'll see you guys very soon. I'm chilling, I'm cooling. I've been down for three years, but I'm cool, calm, collected so long. I can't wait to see you guys very soon. So I'm loving, I'm saying
