As it turns out, the Internet was right: Logan Paul‘s $3.5 million USD box of first-edition Pokémon cards are fake.

Confirming the scam himself, Paul uploaded a seven-minute video earlier onto his YouTube channel revealing that he has indeed been duped once again.

The online personality met up with the seller and the team at Baseball Cards Exchange who verified the box in a hotel room in Chicago to investigate the authenticity of the cards after many in the TCG community online started pointing out issues with his purchase, and upon opening up the boxes, they found a whole range of inconsistencies. Confirming their suspicions that the whole thing has been a scam, the group opened up the actual card packaging to find that they’ve been filled with G.I. Joe trading cards instead.

“I’m a super positive person, bro, and I’ll always be the one to look at the bright side,” Paul said after he found out. “I’m trying but this is very hard… I just went from 11 first-edition boxes to five. We got f*cked, end of story.”
