Renowned cryptocurrency influencer aka BitBoy Crypto Ben Armstrong flew to the Bahamas to speak with FTX founder and former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried.
Over the past few days, BitBoy has posted a tweet sharing a photo of himself camping outside Bankman-Fried’s home in the Bahamas.
“Sam… where are you? We’re looking for you. I just want to talk to Sam. I know that’s where you are in Buddy. It’s okay. Me on Twitter To. Tell me your story. Let’s talk.
Influencers have been critical of Bankman-Fried over the recent collapse of FTX, once the world’s third-largest cryptocurrency exchange, leading to a cryptocurrency crash. He also criticized celebrities who promoted FTX after the company went bankrupt.
BitBoy’s recent tweets indicate he may even be stalking SBF. He’s even found his SBF car, which is ostensibly a Corolla.
“According to Twitter, this is Sam’s Corolla. Front seat is complete with pills. Maybe someone can identify what it is. And in the back is an MSI laptop,” said BitBoy. “SBF look at your window buds. I just want to talk. Tell your story.”
Before coming after SBF, BitBoy had shifted its focus to the Solana project. This comes after Alameda Research accused it of controlling the shutdown of the Solana blockchain for money laundering. The influencer insists on speaking with SBF to find out what he has to say about the FTX situation. He also wants SBF to unblock him on his Twitter.
In particular, BitBoy has revealed that it does not have a single dollar in FTX as an exchange. “I’m here because no one has tried to stand up to Sam on behalf of the people,” he said.
In fact, many in the cryptocurrency community have lashed out at both regulators and mainstream media for not standing up to the SBF, which has cost retail customers billions of dollars.
Some even point to SBF’s multi-million dollar political donations just days before the FTX meltdown began, which is why regulators are reluctant to take a tough stance.
However, as reported, the U.S. House Financial Services Committee is investigating the FTX bankruptcy and is set to hold hearings on the matter next month.
