BitBoy: Popular Crypto influencer declared a Fugitive

BitBoy (Ben Armstrong), a popular influencer in the crypto industry, was taken into custody on March 25, 2025, for sending threatening emails to a judge in Volusia County, Florida.

 

The Volusia County Division of Corrections has declared Armstrong a fugitive from justice with no possibility of bail.

His confessed legal issues were discussed on social media before the arrest. On March 21, he revealed that warrants had been issued against him for emails sent to Judge Childs while acting as his attorney.

In one of his emails, Armstrong called Childs “dishonorable” and claimed she avoided him on social media by hiding from her Twitter account.

Armstrong has had run-ins with the law before this. His most notable case of copaint was in September 2023, when he was arrested in Gwinnett County, Georgia, after filming himself getting into a fight outside a former business partner’s house.

The partner is said to have his Lamborghini, which he was later charged with loitering, prowling, and simple assault. Armstrong was charged with offering unregistered securities through Binance and was drawn into a class-action lawsuit in March 2023. The suit, which is over a billion dollars in damages, included NBA star Jimmy Butler and crypto influencer Graham Stephan.
