According to a court filing submitted on March 20th, lawyers involved in a class-action lawsuit against Ben Armstrong, a renowned crypto influencer on YouTube have accused him of engaging in a campaign of harassment against them.
The lawsuit, which was filed on March 15th against Armstrong and other influencers in the crypto space, accuses them of promoting the FTX crypto exchange. The lawyers claim that Armstrong made numerous threats in response to being named as a defendant.
The court document alleges that Armstrong’s harassment began immediately after the lawsuit was filed, with the lawyers receiving endless phone calls and emails from him.
They also claim that he posted insulting and threatening messages on social media platforms like Twitter and YouTube. It appears that Armstrong’s alleged behavior has only escalated since the lawsuit was initiated, leaving the lawyers feeling harassed.
The Case Continues to Unfold
While the case continues to unfold, it is clear that the lawyers involved in this class action lawsuit are not taking Armstrong’s behavior lightly.
They are standing up for their clients and their rights, and will not be intimidated by the actions of an influencer who may have overstepped the bounds of what is legal and ethical in the promotion of crypto.
Ben Armstrong is one of several FTX influencers involved a lawsuit that seeks around one billion Dollars for allegedly promoting the FTX crypto fraud.
The lawsuit has attracted considerable attention, and Armstrong’s alleged behavior toward the lawyers involved in the case has raised even more concerns.
According to the court filing, Armstrong’s harassment included making repeated phone calls, with one instance claiming he made over twenty calls within forty minutes.
The voicemails he left were described as full of profanities and were particularly aimed at the lawyers involved in the case.
One voicemail allegedly contained a warning to one of the lawyers on the case, in which Armstrong allegedly stated that there would be First Amendment protestors outside his house.
Highlighting the Increasing Importance of Transparency in the Crypto Space
Such behavior is unacceptable and highlights the growing need for transparency and ethical conduct within the crypto industry.
The allegations against Armstrong and the other influencers named in the lawsuit demonstrate the importance of disclosing compensation when promoting cryptocurrencies, as failing to do so can be seen as a violation of consumer trust.
Allegations Continue to Mount
As the case continues to unfold, it will be important to hear from all parties involved and to determine the facts of the situation.
Regardless of the outcome, however, it is clear that the allegations against Armstrong and a variety of other influencers named in the lawsuit are serious and must be taken seriously.
The allegations against BitBoy Crypto continue to mount. The latest court filing claims that Armstrong posted a YouTube video on March 16 that was directed at the lawyers involved in the case and those who bought the suit.
The video allegedly contained a warning that Armstrong was going to come at them with full force and encouraged others to join in.
The filing also alleges that Armstrong sent a message to one of the lawyers on the case, in which he warned that these people are dangerous and that he and his family could be in grave trouble.
This message reportedly prompted the lawyer to report Armstrong to the authorities. Additionally, the filing shares an email allegedly sent by Armstrong in which he called the lawyer different profane words before denying that he had ever promoted FTX.
Final Thoughts
As the case unfolds, it will be interesting to see how the court responds to the allegations against Armstrong and the other influencers named in the lawsuit.
Whatever the outcome, this case is a reminder that the crypto industry must be held to the same standards of transparency and accountability as any other sector.
