Paul Michael Joseph Denino (born September 29, 1994),[5] better known as Ice Poseidon, is an American Internet personality, live streamer, and YouTuber.

[11][12] Denino admitted to taking over $500,000 in funds from the liquidity pool of CXCOIN, a cryptocurrency pump and dump scheme, profiting him over $300,000.

Denino stated his intention to reimburse $150,000 to the investors he had defrauded; however, reports indicate that only $40,000 have been verified as returned to the token holders.

[13] On June 28, 2023, Denino was arrested in Bangkok after he live-streamed himself giving his girlfriend a lap dance, and charged for violating Thailand's anti-pornography laws.

[16] He rose to prominence for his Old School RuneScape streams in 2015 playing under the pseudonym "Ice Poseidon", which he created using a random name generator when he was twelve years old.

[17] He was permanently banned from Twitch on April 28, 2017, after being swatted on American Airlines Flight 458 from Los Angeles to Phoenix while live streaming on the platform.

[25] Following his ban from Twitch in spring 2017, Denino took to YouTube, taking most of his fans (the "Purple Army") with him, a rarity for streamers.

[17] Denino quickly became one of the most popular livestreamers in the world focusing primarily on the IRL genre using a mobile broadcasting rig of his own design.

[28] During Denino's trip to Europe, he visited Zürich, Switzerland, and was featured in a tabloid magazine that discussed him being evicted out of multiple hotels for harassment and disobeying filming laws of the country.

The incident occurred during a live broadcast on Kick, where Denino performed an explicit lap dance for his girlfriend at a hotel restaurant.

[43] They agreed on an extra fee to record the interaction and the camera livestreaming was pointed out to the escort immediately as she entered the room.

[43][44][45] After being made aware of the whole situation via text message from a friend, the woman attempted to leave the hotel room before being temporarily blocked by the third streamer who chased after her.

[44] Later, Denino and Pepper exited the hotel where police officers apprehended the pair, placing them under arrest for sexual assault.

The coin was advertised as a long-term hold asset, however, in January 2022, Paul admitted to scamming[50] over $500k from his fans in a pump and dump crypto scheme by removing funds[6] from the liquidity pool as well as withdrawing from the pre-sale and marketing wallet, netting Denino about $300k after paying close to $200k to developers.

In an exposee interview by YouTube crypto-journalist Coffeezilla, Denino states "If you want the answer, yeah I could give the money back, it is within my power, but I am going to look out for myself and not do that.

On November 19, 2022, Denino made his professional boxing debut against Brandon Buckingham at the Moody Center, in Austin, Texas.
