Businessman and TV personality Kevin O’Leary won his defamation lawsuit against crypto influencer Ben Armstrong (Bitboy). Miami federal judge Beth Bloom ruled on Friday that Armstrong must pay approximately $2.83 million in damages due to his social media posts accusing O’Leary of murder. O’Leary and his wife Linda were not charged in the 2019 boat accident; Linda was tried for negligent driving but acquitted because the other boat's lights were off.

Judge Bloom issued a default judgment, noting that Armstrong escalated his harassment campaign by sharing his phone number and encouraging followers to “call a real killer.” Damages: $750,000 emotional distress, $78,000 reputational harm, $2 million punitive damages. Armstrong was suspended on X for 12 hours and has had arrests in recent years.
