Ben Armstrong, popularly known as BitBoy, has been locked in a battle with his former business partner over the last several weeks.
ProCoin News recently reported that the crypto influencer issued a desperate plea to his fans asking for donations because he allegedly lost everything—including his prized Lamborghini.
Sources say Armstrong was forced out of his role as BitBoy by the parent company that owns the brand.
In a press release, BitBoy’s parent company claimed that the severance was due to Armstrong’s substance abuse issues and a ‘toxic’ work environment.
Following these initial reports, BitBoy attempted to confront his former business partner at his Georgia residence.
Armstrong went to NFT investor and consultant Carlos Diaz’s house and live-streamed the 37-minute incident in front of the home that led to his arrest.
