BitBoy Arrested in Florida, Held Without Bond
Ben “BitBoy” Armstrong, a prominent crypto influencer, has been jailed in Florida after sending a series of emails to Judge Kimberly Childs. He’s currently being held without bond, meaning no bail release is possible at this stage.
Incident Stems From Self-Representation
Armstrong reportedly represented himself in a legal dispute and contacted the judge directly, which may constitute harassment or criminal conduct. The content of the emails hasn’t been made public, but Armstrong acknowledged online that a warrant had been issued.
Past Legal Run-Ins and Erratic Behavior
This isn’t BitBoy’s first legal issue. He was previously accused of harassing a lawyer in 2023 and has drawn attention for online rants and feuds. Some in the crypto community speculate that his erratic behavior could signal deeper personal issues.
Unclear Path Ahead
It’s uncertain when his next court hearing will be. His arrest casts a shadow over his future as a public crypto figure, especially with ongoing legal and reputational challenges.
