Google. Coffee Dad. Get about 5,000,000,000,000,000 results and pick one. It's not hard to find the image with the watermark on it.

I found a place sending out free $1000 bills. Yes it's real. Just Google "Free Money" you'll get 50 million hits, but the right one is obvious?  :o

If someone posts a complaint or stolen image, it's really helpful to link to the use or actual image. See what I'm getting at? "coffee dad" is a waste of time.

It does make a small statement about keywords and search engines as well. "Coffee Dad" I might start drinking coffee and hope?  :D

I'm guessing it's the first three, but apparently it's still a guessing game and a secret?

Dreamstime Results? I still don't get it?

So yes, it's the image of the guy in the first three frames of your search, Race. Great, the facebook page just got another hit (me seeing what the deal was). Yes the image on FB is a DT image with a watermark that has a poor attempt of 'shopping the DT watermark out.

Nobody really cares about stolen images anymore. Most contributors here think it's a waste of time to try to stop the copyright infringement. The agencies don't care, as long as they're making their millions, which apparently some are. And mostly the general consensus is "that's what we get for ruining the photography business and selling our images for peanuts. What do we expect?"

Facebook, pinterest, etc....they are all valuable business tools.  ::)

Cripes, find a hobby. You have time to craft that long ass post but you can't find the image the OP was about? Maybe you were using Goggle instead of google. It takes seconds to find. But luckily the Op did the work so you can go back to drafting epic posts with little to no point.

It's just nicer to post the link with the first one, and I was using Google Images, you know the one that people complain about being used to find and steal images?

Somehow I think Coffee Dad is a con job, on of those media attractions. And yes I agree, now I suckered in and gave it one more hit. Pinterest and the rest can go away, and I wouldn't miss them.

Next challenge is find the watermark that I didn't see on the actual site.

Did you find the link for Free Money yet?

Thanks. I did find him on FB eventually, I thought it was about the "stolen image gone viral", not the person. Someone is having fun pulling our legs, and true we know the image is not the person claiming to be Coffee Dad.
