The influencer himself has not yet responded to these claims. Hit Network, described as a creator-focused media network, collaborates with various brands to deliver content related to cryptocurrency, entrepreneurship, gaming, music, and sports.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/20-nft-twitter-accounts-you-dont-want-to-miss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BitBoy Crypto<\/a> stands as the flagship brand of the Hit Network, enjoying the highest popularity among its offerings. In an official statement, TJ Shedd, the CEO of Hit Network, emphasized that Armstrong\u2019s removal aims to address the emotional, physical, and financial impact he has allegedly caused to the employees of Hit Network and the BitBoy Crypto community.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that Armstrong is currently embroiled in a class action lawsuit alongside other celebrities. All accused of promoting the now-defunct crypto exchange FTX. The legal battle took a bitter turn when the plaintiffs\u2019 attorney alleged that Armstrong engaged in aggressive behavior, including making \u201cdaily violent threats\u201d through phone calls and emails.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"The_Plot_Thickens\">The Plot Thickens<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Interestingly, the official BenCoin Twitter account replied to the news with a post attributed to Armstrong himself. However, the authenticity of this message is still in question. The message from the account suggests that there has been an internal struggle within BitBoy Crypto and Hit Network, with Armstrong referring to a \u201cmutiny.\u201d Despite the upheaval, Armstrong appears defiant, stating, \u201c<em>They have no leverage. Until they can clone me, I have nothing to worry about<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Bitboy_Crypto\/status\/1696184571279159401?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The announcement<\/a> has stirred a range of reactions within the crypto community across various social media platforms.
