'BitBoy' Ben Armstrong Raises Over $54K In Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano Donations Within Hours For Legal Fight Against Hit Network

Crypto influencer Ben Armstrong on Tuesday alleged that Hit Network, the organization he was associated with, has not only taken away his financial resources but has also left him unable to fight back.

Appeal For Assistance

Armstrong took to X to appeal to his followers for assistance in funding his legal campaign to regain control of BitBoy Crypto. As of now, donations totaling over $54,000 have been contributed to his Ethereum ETH/USD, Bitcoin BTC/USD, and Cardano ADA/USD addresses.

In terms of donations received, a total of 32 ETH (valued at $53,843.44) was contributed. Additionally, Armstrong's Bitcoin address contained  donations totaling $227.50 at the time of writing. The trackability of ADA donations could not be established.

The crypto influencer narrated the extent of the ordeal he has endured, describing incidents of "blackmail, extortion, public humiliation, death threats, and the spread of outright lies."

"What I've been through has been the most traumatic experience of my life. My own friends and full blood family members have turned on me over money to turn my life into a living hell. My family and I have been scared for our lives. After we were blackmailed to comply," he said in a tweet.
