Crypto influencer Ben ‘Bitboy’ Armstrong arrested in Florida

Crypto influencer Ben Armstrong, also known as “BitBoy,” has been arrested in Florida after disclosing on social media just days ago that a warrant was out for his arrest.

Florida’s Volusia County Division of Corrections  listed  Armstrong as a fugitive from justice who was taken in custody on March 25 at 7:18 pm local time.

Days prior, Armstrong  said  in a March 21 X post that he could “confirm that the warrants for my arrest” were due to sending emails to Cobb County, Georgia Superior Court Judge Kimberly Childs while acting as his own attorney.

He also claimed that Judge Childs had deleted her social media accounts due to the emails.

Armstrong was  previously arrested in September 2023  while livestreaming outside the house of a former business associate whom he alleged had possession of his Lamborghini.

Information on Armstrong’s lawyers was not immediately available. Armstrong could not immediately be contacted for comment.
