Prominent crypto commentator Ben Armstrong, also known as BitBoy, was apprehended during a live Broadcast on YouTube outside an ex-colleague's home, whom he accuses of possessing his Lamborghini. Prior to commencing his live stream, Armstrong shared on Twitter that he would shortly be going live from a "very special location."
Within the span of hour, Armstrong was broadcasted live at the property of Carlos Diaz, a consultant and investor in non-fungible tokens (NFTs), who is reportedly connected to the HIT Network. Armstrong lashed out at Diaz, making serious allegations, including threats to his life from Diaz's alleged connections with the Houston Mafia. Armstrong was seen on camera defiantly addressing Diaz.
Approximately 19 minutes into the live broadcast, the local law enforcement arrived at the scene and questioned Armstrong about possibly being armed, a claim which he refuted. Subsequently, Armstrong was asked to drop his phone, causing the screen to go dark for the remaining part of the broadcast, though the audio continued to capture the interaction between Armstrong and the police. Later, Armstrong's arrest was confirmed via a statement from the Sheriff's Office in Gwinnett County, Georgia.
The following day, Diaz confirmed that Armstrong had indeed shown up at his residence. Armstrong got separated from Hit Network, the company operating the "BitBoy Crypto" brand, in August of the same year due to allegations of substance abuse and financial harm brought to the employees. This pattern of events has triggered a flurry of legal suits by the parties involved. Amid the ongoing controversy, Armstrong's plea for public donations for his legal battles on September 20th sparked widespread commotion within the crypto circle.
