BitBoy Arrested in Florida Following Public Warrant Disclosure

Crypto influencer Ben Armstrong, widely known as BitBoy, has been apprehended in Florida just days after publicly confirming the existence of arrest warrants against him. According to records from Volusia County Division of Corrections, BitBoy was taken into custody on March 25, 2025, at 7:18 pm local time. The arrest came shortly after Armstrong made a startling announcement on March 21 via X (formerly Twitter), where he disclosed that he had received notice of outstanding warrants related to his case.

The Trigger: Emails to a Georgia Judge

Armstrong revealed that the warrants stemmed from emails he had sent to Kimberly Childs, a Superior Court Judge in Cobb County, Georgia, while representing himself in legal proceedings. According to Armstrong’s account, Judge Childs subsequently removed her social media accounts, presumably in response to the correspondence. This chain of events raises questions about the intersection of cryptocurrency personalities and the judicial system, particularly regarding how such communications are viewed by law enforcement.

A Pattern of Legal Troubles

This marks the second arrest for the BitBoy influencer. In September 2023, Armstrong was previously detained during a livestream incident outside the residence of a former business partner. At that time, he was attempting to recover what he claimed was his personal Lamborghini in the possession of the associate. The recurring nature of Armstrong’s legal entanglements with the criminal justice system underscores ongoing challenges faced by certain high-profile cryptocurrency community figures.

What Comes Next

Details regarding Armstrong’s legal representation have not yet been disclosed, and the influencer remains unavailable for direct comment. The case continues to unfold as authorities process the charges and legal proceedings commence.
