<p>Ben Armstrong, better known as BitBoy, has fired back against allegations that led to his ousting from BJ Investment Holdings, the parent company of BitBoy. Armstrong was initially accused of drug misuse, charges he labels as “libelous” and “100% false.”</p> 
<p>Armstrong took to social media to clear his name, sharing negative results of a five-panel drug test. He claims these results affirm his innocence.</p>

<p>Initially saying he would withhold further comments, Armstrong later broke his silence to deny any drug use firmly. He alleges that the real reason behind his dismissal is a plot by Justin Williams and TJ Shedd, CEO of Hit Network, to take control of the company.</p> 
<p>Armstrong says his usage of diet pills, specifically phentermine, was medically supervised and for weight management.</p> 
<p>He further claims that his name being removed from Hit Network’s office is evidence of a scheme to oust him, describing the situation as “diabolical.”</p>

<p>In an Aug. 29 Twitter&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/mineyour_biz/status/1696578220601295026" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">thread</a>, cryptocurrency influencer&nbsp;MineYour.Biz&nbsp;shared the content of a call held on the Telegram channel of BitBoy’s BEN token. During the call, Armstrong participated through the BitBoy Crypto account and shared his side of the story, sowing doubts on the allegations moved against him against the people who took over the company that he is no longer a part of.</p>

<p>Armstrong claimed that he still technically owns a majority stake, he had not been informed before his departure was announced on Twitter and YouTube, and he did not commit acts of impropriety or aggression. He maintains that the people involved in him being cast out of the company were attempting a hostile corporate coup.</p> 
<p>Moreover, Armstrong claims that the allegations of him having a drug relapse pertain to prescription drugs, which he assumes under supervision by a diet clinic. The drugs in question are stimulants — which likely means that they are likely also to hold abuse potential — and&nbsp;MineYour.Biz&nbsp;suggested that this “is consistent with the erratic behavior witnessed in Ben’s on-screen appearances.”</p> 
<p>During the call, there have also been allegations of steroid use by multiple staff members. It was also claimed that financial damage allegations may have been a way to hide misappropriations by the current team meant to pay “hush-money to keep employees going to work.”</p>
