    <p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">Crypto</a> influencer Ben Armstrong, formerly known as BitBoy, took to social media yesterday numerous times to collect <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="donation" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/donation.html">donation</a>s via livestream — and has collected over $80,000 from his followers at press time.</p> 
    <p>Armstrong has been struggling since his YouTube channel and other social media accounts were taken from him by the Hit Network — a company that he helped to found — after he was accused of drug use and a family affair. Unable to use the BitBoy name, the crypto influencer has reinvented himself as Ben.</p> 
    <p>Claiming to be down on his luck, Armstrong listed three addresses for individuals to donate to: a <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Bitcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/bitcoin.html">Bitcoin</a> address, a Cardano address, and an Ethereum address. So far one of the largest <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="donation" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/donation.html">donation</a>s appears to be an almost 11,000 USDT <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="donation" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/donation.html">donation</a> from an anonymous source.</p> 
    <p>“The fact is I was under duress, I’ve been under duress.” Armstrong said in a livestream yesterday, “like, when people see what they did to me with this Lamborghini, trying to bleed me out, that’s what they’re trying to do.”</p> 
    <p>Armstrong’s Lamborghini Huracan Performante was confiscated by Hit Network because it was under the company’s name.</p>

    <p>Armstrong took to a YouTube livestream from the comfort of his Georgia mansion, from which viewers could see two large flatscreens, marbled countertops and walls, and expensive leather stools that lined his kitchen. </p> 
    <p>Meanwhile, he mostly spent the hour and a half livestream talking about supposed death threats, financial shenanigans, and “a citizen conspiracy.”</p> 
    <p>“I have the receipts for it,” Armstrong said, without showing anything, “they’re literally threatening to kill me.”</p>

    <p>Importantly, the influencer has outright stated that the <strong><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="donation" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/donation.html">donation</a>s he’s collecting as a “legal fund” will not be returned to individuals who donated</strong>.</p> 
    <p>“We’re gonna be able to keep the legal fund going, as well as, if money keeps coming into these addresses, we’re gonna use it to rebuild back everything.”</p> 
    <p>It’s worth noting that Armstrong attempted to file a restraining order against Hit Network — it was denied.</p>
