Crypto Influencer BitBoy Arrested in Florida, Listed as Fugitive from Justice

Share:

Controversial crypto influencer Ben Armstrong, aka BitBoy, has been arrested in Florida days after he disclosed on social media that an arrest warrant was out for him.

Florida’s Volusia County Division of Corrections recorded Armstrong as a fugitive from justice and confirmed his arrest on March 25 at 7:18 PM local time.

In a March 21 post on X, BitBoy had disclosed that an arrest warrant is out for him over his emails to Cobb County, Georgia Superior Court Judge Kimberly Childs while acting as his own attorney. He further claimed that the judge deleted her X account because of him.

BitBoy Was Earlier Arrested in 2023

This is not the first time that BitBoy has been arrested. In September 2023, he was arrested by the police while live-streaming on YouTube. He was on his way to confront a former colleague Carlos Diaz in a quest to retrieve his Lamborghini, but the police detained him midway. The police had also found illegal narcotics in his vehicle.

In April 2023, when Armstrong was part of a class-action lawsuit, he was called in by the judge to address his harassment of the plaintiffs’ counsel. The plaintiff’s lawyer had claimed that Armstrong harassed the legal team with vulgar phone calls, voicemails, text messages and social media posts suggesting threats.
