Ben Armstrong, also known as ‘BitBoy Crypto’, missed a court appearance ordered by a federal magistrate judge in response to the YouTuber’s alleged harassment of counsel in a lawsuit involving several crypto influencers.
Judge Melissa Damian had ordered Armstrong and his counsel to appear on April 20 to address the YouTuber’s “harassment towards plaintiffs’ counsel.” However, Armstrong openly mocked the order on social media, instead tweeting pictures of himself on a beach in the Bahamas.
According to various reports, Judge Damian warned Armstrong’s attorney — who was in attendance, as ordered — that she would issue a warrant for the YouTuber’s arrest if he failed to appear by April 24. The harassment case against Armstrong moved forward without him as the judge reportedly referred the matter to the FBI.
