Hey there, my fellow crypto enthusiasts! Today, we’re diving headfirst into a crypto soap opera that’s making headlines — the breakup of BitBoy Crypto with its famous face, Ben Armstrong! 😲
So, here’s the scoop: BitBoy Crypto, the crypto influencer brand that once ruled the digital kingdom with over 3.3 million followers, has dropped a bombshell. They’ve decided to part ways with YouTuber Ben Armstrong, their poster boy.
Why, you ask? Well, it’s a bit complicated. The big bosses at BitBoy Crypto’s parent company, the Hit Network, decided it was time to cut ties with Ben due to some serious issues. They’re talking about substance abuse problems and financial troubles affecting the company’s employees. Yikes! 😬
In a shocking YouTube and social media announcement on August 28th, they spilled the tea. They tried to help Ben through his struggles with substance abuse, but it seems things went south. They even went as far as saying Ben caused “emotional, physical, and financial damage” to Hit employees and others in the crypto space. Ouch!
But hold your horses; they didn’t spill the beans on the exact incidents that led to this crypto breakup. 🤫
Now, here’s the plot twist — Ben Armstrong had a bit of legal drama too. He was tangled up in a class-action lawsuit where investors accused him and other influencers of promoting FTX without revealing they were getting paid for it. It got so wild that court documents suggested Ben was sending threats to the lawyers and skipping court appearances like it was a game of hide and seek. The case even took a nap on June 16, staying unresolved.
But wait, there’s more! Ben didn’t shy away from roasting big shots like the European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde and the US Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler on his social media platforms, which probably didn’t make him any new friends. 😅
He even tried to take YouTuber Erling Mengshoel Jr. to court for defamation but decided to back out when Mengshoel Jr. raised a whopping $200,000 for his defense. Talk about a quick change of heart!
Now, here’s the twist in our tale — many X and YouTube users showed support for Ben after the August 28 announcement. They’re worried about the future of the “BitBoy Crypto” brand without its iconic face.
Ben started his YouTube channel back in February 2018, and as of August 2023, BitBoy Crypto had a whopping 3.3 million followers across social media. Impressive, right? But now, we’re left wondering if Ben’s legal escapades played a part in this crypto breakup. 🤔
