Kevin O’Leary wins $2.8M defamation suit against Ben Armstrong
A Miami federal judge has entered a default judgment against Ben Armstrong, who failed to respond to Kevin O’Leary’s complaint accusing him of defamation.
Businessman and TV personality Kevin O’Leary has won a multi-million-dollar defamation lawsuit against crypto influencer Ben Armstrong, also known as “Bitboy.”
Miami federal judge Beth Bloom on Friday ordered Armstrong to pay almost $2.83 million in damages to O’Leary over a series of social media posts accusing the Shark Tank star of being a murderer.
O’Leary and his wife, Linda, were in a boating accident in 2019 that resulted in two deaths when their boat struck another. Armstrong accused O’Leary of murder in multiple X posts in March 2025 and claimed he paid millions to cover up the incident.
