Ben Armstrong Faces Massive Criticism

The non-fungible token investor and influencer “Ben Armstrong” has received massive criticism after announcing plans to sell one of his expensive NFT collections, with many of his followers citing that he would have done that before rather than seeking donations.

You fat greedy fuck. Why didn’t you sell your BAYC before asking for donations tf is wrong with you

Last month, Ben Armstrong appeared before the Cobb County Superior Court in Georgia as a part of his ongoing lawsuit against Hit Network CEO TJ Shedd and Shedd’s father. Sadly, he was denied an order to regain control of his company with documents reading that “Plaintiffs failed to meet their burden” to support the case.

At the time, Ben Armstrong appealed to his supporters to support him in raising funds for his legal defence. In just 24 hours, Fans had already donated roughly $60,000 worth of Ethereum and Bitcoin, according to Etherscan and blockchain data for two of Armstrong’s crypto wallets.

Thank you guys so much for the donations so far. I know it’s hard out there for people and I’m so appreciative that you guys have chosen to help me.
Truly humbled by everyone.
