Previously, Armstrong was removed from Bitboy due to legal reasons. Particularly, the crypto influencer brand deems Armstrong unfit for the role due to drug relapse and for a possible altercation between Armstrong and some staff of Bitboy.
This difficult decision is a culmination of a prolonged effort to help Ben during his relapse into substance abuse as well as reconcile the emotional, physical and financial damage he has done to the employees of Hit network & the Bitboy Crypto community.

For his part, Armstrong expressed his disappointment toward the Bitboy brand, saying that the latter would “engage and get in the mud” just to “go low” at him. It is not clear what Armstrong is implying regarding his statements, although he may just be referring to his removal from the Bitboy entity.
Armstrong is a colorful personality in the crypto space, and he has as many supporters as he has detractors. He was last seen promoting a meme coin named BEN at the height of the popularity of Pepe (PEPE).
