YouTuber Crypto Faces Legal Accusations: The Fall of Ben Armstrong

robot
Abstract generation in progress

Ben Armstrong, better known as BitBoy Crypto, has just faced an unexpected turn in his career. On March 21, 2025, he was arrested in Florida on charges related to sending emails to Judge Kimberly Childs in Cobb County, Georgia.

But this is not his first controversy.

The Turbulent Career of BitBoy

Since 2018, Armstrong built an empire on YouTube offering market analysis and evaluations of crypto projects. With thousands of followers, his influence was massive. He even published educational books about Bitcoin and Blockchain.

The problem: his reputation collapsed when he was accused of promoting paid projects without disclosing conflicts of interest. The most notorious case was the DISTX token in 2020, which caused significant losses to investors trusting his recommendations.

The Breaking Point

In August 2023, Armstrong was removed from HIT Network, the company he founded himself. Soon after, the platform was rebranded as Discover Crypto under new management. A clear symbol that his era had come to an end.

Now, with his recent arrest, his story becomes an uncomfortable lesson for the industry: credibility is the most fragile asset. Without it, neither millions of followers nor experience matter.
