 <p class="paragraph">The <a rel="dofollow" title="stream" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/stream.html">stream</a> visual cuts off for the next 17 minutes, but audio from a dialogue between Armstrong and the police officers can still be heard after being told to put down the phone.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">Gwinnett County, Georgia, jail records show that Benjamin Charles Armstrong was booked on September 25 at 9:11 p.m. and is still in custody as of this writing.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Hit Network, owner of the “BitBoy Crypto” brand, severed connections with its public face, Ben Armstrong, at the end of August, claiming drug addiction and the resulting financial harm to staff as the reasons for the decision.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">Several lawsuits have been brought and withdrawn by different parties since then. On September 20, Armstrong even asked the cryptocurrency community for donations to pay for his legal fees, leaving many angered by the idea.</p>
