Crypto influencer Ben Armstrong, also known as ‘BitBoy Crypto,’ has claimed that he’s been receiving death threats from Hit Network, the company he recently filed a lawsuit against. Armstrong filed a lawsuit in Georgia, USA, alleging that Hit Network CEO Timothy ‘TJ’ Shedd Jr., his father Timothy Shedd Sr., and TJSJ Holdings stole his company from him.
In a video posted on social media, Armstrong said that he’s been receiving death threats from the individuals he’s suing, and he has allegedly been extorted out of his Lamborghini. He also mentioned that Hit Network sent him a death threat after he filed the lawsuit.
To fund his legal battle and bring BitBoy Crypto back, Armstrong asked his followers for donations. While some members of the crypto community have criticized him for soliciting donations, others have supported his cause. So far, Armstrong has received over $40,000 in donations.
Despite the legal action, the Hit Network rebranded the BitBoy Crypto YouTube channel to ‘Discover Crypto’ and unveiled the new identity in a recent video.
