He is best known for his questionable work within the cryptocurrency industry[2] and an obscure, for lack of a better work, search engine optimization business called Twilx, which auto-magically disappear for no apparent reason, even though Bryan himself claimed it was a multi-million dollar business[3]. He is running a questionable blockchain project called Hectic Turkey, a apparent "meme coin", which has been label by the crypto community as a possible scam [4][5].

Personal life
Upbringing
Bryan Seiler was born in Adelaide, South Australia. He had a difficult upbringing, due to the death of his mother, when he was just two years old. He was raised by his grandparents, alongside his aunt Irene Hayes. Because of this, he and his aunt saw each other as siblings[2][6]. Some point down the line, Seiler moved to Queensland. His first months there were very difficult. However, Bryan realized that asking for help wasn't a weakness, so he asked his aunt for financial support. Around May 6, 2015, he was drowning in debt with MoneMe ($AUS 750), Cash Convertors ($AUS 1518), Dollars Direct ($AUS 1160), Cash Train ($AUS 912), SpeedyMoney ($AUS 744) and many others. On a curious note, all this debt could only be paid through Bryan's bank account. Thanks to lovely Reni (Bryan's nickname for his aunt), Seiler could pay all this debt and stay off the streets of Queensland[2][6].
Education
Very little is know about Bryan's education background. He attended Tyndale Christian School. During the first semesters of 10th grade, at 17 years old, Seiler decided to drop out; three years before graduation.
Entrepreneurship beginnings
Bryan wasn't always as rich as he is. From a young age he has been hustling in his own rags to riches story. He worked various odd jobs and created different businesses based on the internet. For example, he created a mailing business using his cousin's, Jhon Hayes, eBay account. Seiler also used to sell movie tickets on demand[2][6]. Some people claim the mailing business was a scam where Bryan would take the money and wouldn't deliver the promised goods. This behavior got his cousin's eBay account ban. Bryan was also know for selling coins as collectables. According to his aunt, Bryan passed a regular coin as a rare 1862 coin; which was used to scam a collector[2][6].
Name Change
In some point of his life, Bryan Seiler changed his named to Bryan "King" Legend. He argues this changed was motivated by the hatred and jealousy his family felt for him. It is a big coincidence than Bryan took this life changing choice after many of the crypto projects he founded, co-founded or participated in were pointed out as alleged financial scams. Said crypto projects were Fitrova, Tagz Exchange and Clever DeFi[2][6].. Bryan himself claims said crypto projects were failed businesses due to his lack of business acumen. However, all of the aforementioned crypto projects have one thing in common, the liquidity backing them up was dried up by a mysterious third-party.
Hobbies
Bryan likes to play poker using the money he got from hustling. [7][8]
Bryan likes to play poker using the money he got from hustling.[7][8] He is very passionate about golf, to the point he suffered a terrible accident driving a golf cart [9]. He is obsess with Louis Vuitton and used to make a YouTube show called Angry Meal Time . He also liked to flip internet domains as a hobby using the username bryzie555. He also claimed to be a fan of Coffeezilla's work, until said journalist decided to investigate him[2][6]..
2023 Investigations by Multiple Online Investigators
Multiple YouTube personalities profiled Bryan, most notably scam investigator Coffeezilla.[10][2][6][11] Bryan is yet to responded with a video of his own, having deleted all content from his online social media platforms after the release of Coffeezilla's investigation.
No activity has been seen from Bryan in the cryptocurrency industry after Coffezilla's publication "Scammer BEGGED Me Not to Investigate". Bryan is estimated to have taken a total of ~$40M dollars from investors.
It is believed that the stolen funds were used to purchase a large $3.5M property in Hope Island, Queensland[12] in early October 2022[13] where Australian comedian, entertainer and investigator Jordan Shanks-Markovina (aka. friendlyjordies) attempted to interview Bryan[10].
Wikipedia, WikiAlpha, Self-Written Misleading Articles and Online Music Career
In Early 2023, Bryan under his online alias of "Bryzieb" which he had previously used for creating Smule singing videos such as a performance of Take Me Home, Country Roads with LucyRohy, Born to be wild with Andy UK, Born to e wild with Thats_Cosmic, solo performance of Lady In Red, solo performance of Struck on You, Pony with helenByers50, I'm gonna be 500 miles with MelLoveArt, a solo performance of I'm gonna be 500 Miles, and a solo performance of Achy Breaky Heart.
Bryan, or "Bryzieb" created false Wikipedia and WikiAlpha pages which intended to attract keen investors into his cryptocurrency scams through the false information presented which presented him as a notable and reputable investor, which has ultimately been disproved[2][6].
His strategy with regard to his online presence was to either pay for online articles to be created about him, or alternatively find reputable publishers with self-written community article features and create a false narrative as these articles have minimal editorial oversight, and are is generally unreliable[14].
Bryan would then use these paid for or self-written articles in an attempt to validate the false information presented on his pages, where it went unnoticed on WikiAlpha for numerous months. Bryzie attempted to alter any modifications made by third parties which would represent him in a truer form, however he has given up despite harassing community members[15].
Bryan's Wikipedia page on the other hand was deleted due to the discovery of the sources being self-written articles created by Bryan and ultimately been deemed as a promotional piece created by himself[16].
Response to Early Criticism on Reddit in 2022
In 2022, Bryan and his cryptocurrency projects began receiving early criticism and skepticism regarding their legitimacy on the Reddit website due to his past.[17] Bryan, or his agents, filed a defamation complaint over one of those Reddit pages[18].
Bryan's complaints had been sent to Google prior to popular and widely accepted investigations released to YouTube in 2023[10][2][6][11] and therefore the claim was accepted by Google.
