Amidst Chaos: The FTX Class Action Lawsuit
It’s a wild, wild world out there in the crypto realm, and Ben Armstrong, aka ‘BitBoy Crypto,’ is currently paddling in choppy waters. A class-action lawsuit has been thrown into the mix, and it’s stirring the pot big time. Allegedly, Armstong and several other influencers have been promoting the FTX exchange without disclosing their sponsorships, and now they’re facing a hefty $1 billion suit. What could possibly go wrong?
Threats, Tweets, and Tenacity
The lawyers representing the class-action plaintiffs claim that after they filed the suit, Armstrong decided to bombard them with what can only be described as relentless harassment. When I say relentless, I mean the man was calling them up to 21 times in a mere 45 minutes. Talk about customer service gone rogue!
- Non-stop phone calls
- Vulgar voicemails
- Threats made on Twitter
Apparently, Armstrong’s voice mails had more spice than a late-night infomercial, filled with all sorts of colorful language and personal attacks against the legal team. One voicemail reportedly warned Moskowitz, one of the lawyers, that he’d have “First Amendment protesters” camped outside his house day and night. So, if you’re thinking about grabbing popcorn and watching the drama unfold, it might be hard to find a seat!
Legal Eagles or Legal Weasels?
Armstrong didn’t exactly take the news lying down. No, he opted to shoot back with his own brand of fire and brimstone. He tweeted that he planned to take Adam Moskowitz’s legal license from him, very much like a high schooler vowing to take the popular kid’s crown. Yes, folks, he even resorts to name-calling, because why not?
“I’m going to have Adam Moskowitz’s legal license taken from him.”
In a stunning example of what a person might say when ‘the gloves come off,’ Armstrong called the lawyer “an unbelievably dumb motherfucker” in an email. That escalated quickly…
A Dangerous Game?
But Armstrong didn’t stop there. He’s reportedly warned Moskowitz that “these people are dangerous,” which sounds like something out of a B-movie script rather than a legal exchange. I mean, it’s a classic—how do I outsmart these legal minds, while simultaneously threatening their safety? Genius or just plain reckless? Only time will tell.
The Return of the Legal Phantom
As if this wasn’t enough, there’s talk of a previous dust-up when Armstrong filed and then just as dramatically dropped a defamation suit against another YouTuber. It seems like drama is a recurring theme for him. Is it a coincidence that a lawsuit is often likened to a reality TV show—full of twists, turns, and quite the colorful characters?
In the end, whether you find Armstrong’s antics amusing or alarming, one thing is for sure: this saga is far from over. With legal proceedings unfolding like a cliffhanger in a gripping novel, grab your favorite snack and stay tuned because this story could take a lot more unexpected turns!
