BitBoy Returns: Crypto Influencer Ben Armstrong Reemerges Amidst Storm of Controversy
Crypto influencer Louis Armstrong, better known as BitBoy, has resurfaced online after a period of absence. His return comes amidst a storm of controversy, legal challenges, and professional setbacks. Armstrong's partner, Cassandra Wolfe, confirmed he is receiving help and expressed gratitude for the crypto community's support.
Armstrong's reemergence was marked by a series of posts on his YouTube channel and X account, where he provided updates on current topics within the cryptocurrency community. He also posted a photo on X showing a black eye, claiming he was attacked in his sleep while in a psych ward. Armstrong confirmed he had exited a psychiatric facility and hinted at sharing details of his experience soon.
Armstrong's disappearance occurred during a time of escalating controversy. In August 2023, he was dismissed from his role at his company and faced a lawsuit alleging extortion, theft, sexual harassment, and workplace violence. TJ Shedd, Armstrong's former business partner, filed a lawsuit alleging that Armstrong illegally funneled money to Wolfe. Meanwhile, a petition was shared calling for a criminal investigation into allegations against HIT Network, though the person demanding the investigation is not specified.
Armstrong's return to the public eye has sparked mixed responses from the crypto community. While some have expressed support, others remain skeptical given the ongoing legal challenges and allegations against him. Armstrong's future in the crypto space remains uncertain as investigations and lawsuits continue.
