BJ Investment Holdings, the parent company of the Hit Network that controls BitBoy Crypto, has announced that it has severed ties with YouTuber and Influencer Ben Armstrong. The company made the announcement on X and made several strong allegations attacking the crypto influencer’s character. A Parting Of Ways The announcement about the removal of Ben Armstrong was confirmed on X by BitBoy Crypto. According to the announcement, BJ Investment Holdings took decisive legal action to Remove Ben from the company and, more specifically, the BitBoy Crypto Brand. “Yesterday, BJ Investment Holdings, the parent company of Hit network, took decisive legal action in removing Ben Armstrong from the company, and specifically the Bitboy Crypto brand.” The reasons were revealed in a longer and more detailed YouTube announcement. According to a company spokesperson, the decision was made after several efforts to assist Ben Armstrong “during his relapse into substance abuse.” The spokesperson also expressed regret at the end of the business relationship between the company and Armstrong. The firm had earlier claimed that Armstrong had inflicted considerable emotional, physical, and financial damage on people in the space and on Hit employees. While the allegations include serious and personal allegations against Armstrong, the influencer has not spoken out or confirmed them himself. However, the BenCoin account on X responded to the news in a post that it claimed was written by Armstrong. However, it is still being determined as of now if Armstrong, indeed, was the one who wrote the message. “This is Ben. TJ Shedd & Justin Williams have attempted a coup at my company. Just confirming what is going around. It’s true. There has been a mutiny at BitBoy Crypto & Hit Network. But it won’t work. They have no leverage. Until they can clone me, I have nothing to worry about.” Possible Reasons? The announcement by BitBoy Crypto did not elaborate or point to any specific incidents that could have contributed to the end of its business relationship with Armstrong. However, the YouTuber and crypto influencer was involved in a class-action lawsuit after investors claimed that he and other influencers promoted the now-bankrupt FTX exchange without revealing compensation from the exchange. Court filings also suggested that Armstrong issued several threats against lawyers who were representing the plaintiffs. He had also openly mocked a federal judge’s authority by failing to appear in court as ordered. The case was stayed on the 16th of June. Armstrong also insulted several high-profile figures using his platforms, with over 1 million subscribers on X and YouTube. These figures included Christine Lagarde, the president of the European Central Bank, and Gary Gensler, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair. He had also filed a defamation suit against YouTuber Erling Mengshoel Jr, also called “Atozy.” However, he later dropped the case after Atozy managed to raise around $200,000 for his defense. Social Media Users React Many users on YouTube and X reacted in support of Armstrong following the announcement on X. They also expressed some concerns about the future of the BitBoy Crypto brand, given Armstrong was its most popular and recognizable face. One user on X stated, “I remember when I first got into crypto... I was still trading on Coinbase, I listened to bitboy tell me what coins to buy, and my charts were so full of indicators I could hardly see the candlesticks. It’s crazy how fast things can change in three days.” Many users on the YouTube livestream were unhappy with Armstrong’s removal, with many demanding the host’s return. However, the mood on Reddit was in stark contrast with that on the YouTube live stream, with many users cheering the news. It is also unclear if any of Armstrong’s previous legal problems led to the company parting ways with him. Authorities have been targeting crypto influencers globally for promoting fraudulent projects following the collapse of FTX. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

Two Tornado Cash co-founders have been charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering and sanctions violations. On Wednesday, the United States Attorney’s Office announced in a press release the unsealing of an indictment charging Roman Storm and Roman Semenov with conspiracy to commit money laundering, sanctions violations and conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business. The charges against two of Tornado Cash’s co-founders arise from their alleged creation, operation, and promotion of the crypto mixer. According to the press release, Tornado Cash facilitated over $1 billion in money laundering transactions and laundered hundreds of millions from the North Korean cybercrime organization, the Lazarus Group. Strom and Semenov Knew They Were Aiding Money Laundering US Attorney Damian Williams said: “As alleged, Tornado Cash was an infamous cryptocurrency mixer that laundered more than $1 billion in criminal proceeds and violated U.S. sanctions. Roman Storm and Roman Semenov allegedly operated Tornado Cash and knowingly facilitated this money laundering. While publicly claiming to offer a technically sophisticated privacy service, Storm and Semenov in fact knew that they were helping hackers and fraudsters conceal the fruits of their crimes. Today’s indictment is a reminder that money laundering through cryptocurrency transactions violates the law, and those who engage in such laundering will face prosecution.” In the announcement, the US Attorney’s Office said Roman Storm was arrested on Wednesday in the State of Washington, but Roman Semenov remains at large. The Wall Street Journal reports, Tornado’s alleged third co-founder, Alexey Pertsev, was arrested in the Netherlands in August on money laundering charges. Pertsev is under house arrest in the Netherlands as he awaits trial. CNBC quotes Brian Klein, Roman Strom’s lawyer, who said: “We are incredibly disappointed that the prosecutors chose to charge Mr. Storm.” Klein added they believe prosecutors “did so based on a novel legal theory with dangerous implications for all software developers.” Storm’s lawyer further said: “Mr. Storm has been cooperating with the prosecutors’ investigation since last year and disputes that he engaged in any criminal conduct. There is a lot more to this story that will come out at trial.” On Wednesday, the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) also sanctioned Roman Semenov. The OFAC banned Americans from using the cryptocurrency mixer in August 2022. Wednesday’s indictment was a joint effort by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Justice Department and the Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigation unit. Attorney General Merrick B. Garland commented: “These charges should serve as yet another warning to those who think they can turn to cryptocurrency to conceal their crimes and hide their identities, including cryptocurrency mixers: it does not matter how sophisticated your scheme is or how many attempts you have made to anonymize yourself, the Justice Department will find you and hold you accountable for your crimes.” Christopher A. Wray, Director of the FBI, said: “Today’s announcement should remind criminal organizations everywhere in the world that they are neither untraceable nor anonymous. You can’t hide from us behind a keyboard — whether you’re a hacker or facilitator. Those charged today engaged in a conspiracy to launder money for cybercriminals, including for a North Korean cybercrime organization seeking to evade sanctions. As we have with this operation, the FBI is going to keep dismantling the infrastructure used by cyber criminals to commit and profit from their crimes, and holding anyone who assists those criminals accountable.” US Court Dismisses Appeal to Lift Sanctions on Tornado US District Judge Robert Pitman dismissed an appeal filed by Tornado Cash users to lift the sanctions imposed on the crypto mixer. Judge Pitman agreed with the government and Treasury Department on all of its claims and granted a summary judgement in the case. The court filing said: “The Court finds that Tornado Cash is an association within the ordinary meaning of the term and is, therefore, an entity that may be designated per OFAC regulations.” Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

Two pioneering companies in the blockchain-based advertising landscape—VeraViews, under the Verasity ($VRA) umbrella, and Alkimi, a decentralized advertising exchange built on Ethereum – have announced their new joint venture today on August 22. The duo claims that their collaboration has the potential to redefine what's achievable in digital advertising, particularly in combating lack of transparency and inefficiency. As Verasity has long argued, the advertising industry has grappled with challenges around transparency. Advertisers are often in the dark about where their ads appear, raising concerns over brand safety and ROI. The new partnership looks set to address these long-standing issues by integrating VeraViews' 'Proof of View' (PoV) technology into Alkimi Exchange's ad platform. Within the collaboration, Alkimi's network of publishers can tap into VeraViews' ad stack, thus gaining access to a verified audience within VeraViews' network. Simultaneously, VeraViews will be able to scale up its monetization through Alkimi Exchange’s robust network of advertising partners. “The decentralised advertising ecosystem is still nascent, and we’re delighted that VeraViews and Alkimi Exchange have found ways to leverage our innovative technology solutions in synergy, working together to achieve our common goal of bringing trust and transparency to the programmatic advertising supply chain,” says David Murray, Demand Director at VeraViews. Ben Putley, the CEO & Co-Founder of Alkimi Exchange, adds, "Our collaboration symbolises not just a mutual understanding of our industry’s future, but also a shared commitment to drive sustainable growth, forge new pathways, and redefine the boundaries of what’s possible. " Broader Impact on the Advertising and Blockchain Landscape Verasity has already been a strong advocate for using tech-based solutions to battle chronic challenges that plague digital advertising for several years. Its technology is already integrated into several significant video hosting and publishing platforms, including its notable partnerships with Brightcove Marketplace and Hoopla Digital. The integration between VeraViews and Alkimi Exchange could serve as a significant step in eradicating some of these pervasive issues – which according to British newspaper The Guardian affects a whopping 25 percent of all digital advertisements. Should this alliance between VeraViews and Alkimi Exchange demonstrate success in mitigating fraud and increasing transparency, it may pave the way for broader adoption within the burgeoning blockchain sector – and in turn revolutionize an industry that is estimated to rise to more than a trillion US dollars annually in the coming years.
