Ben Armstrong, aka "BitBoy," a prominent crypto influencer, has been arrested in Florida as a fugitive from justice. According to the Volusia County Division of Corrections, Armstrong was taken into custody on March 25 at 7:18 pm local time
Just days before his arrest, Armstrong revealed on social media that a warrant had been issued for his arrest. He claimed that the warrants were due to emails he sent to Cobb County, Georgia Superior Court Judge Kimberly Childs while representing himself in a legal matter
Interestingly, Armstrong alleged that Judge Childs deleted her social media accounts in response to his emails. This isn't Armstrong's first run-in with the law; he was previously arrested in September 2023 while livestreaming outside the house of a former business associate, whom he accused of withholding his Lamborghini
Details about Armstrong's current legal representation are unclear, and he's yet to comment on the situation. The crypto community is likely to be watching this development closely.
