Legal Troubles Escalate for BitBoy Crypto Influencer Following Latest Arrest
Ben Armstrong, the controversial cryptocurrency personality known as BitBoy, faces mounting legal challenges after his June 27 arrest on harassment charges. Jail records show the influencer posted bond and was released within 24 hours, though the specific allegations remain undisclosed.
The arrest marks Armstrong's second confinement this year following a March detainment in Florida over alleged improper communications with a Georgia judge. His social media presence has dwindled, with recent posts suggesting third-party management of his accounts during legal proceedings.
Armstrong's legal woes compound as Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary pursues a defamation lawsuit against him. The crypto commentator continues representing himself in some matters, having previously acknowledged arrests related to judicial communications.
