Quote from man sued: "What are you gonna do, sue me?"

Kevin O'Leary has sued crypto personality Ben Armstrong (aka "BitBoy Crypto") for repeatedly claiming O'Leary murdered two people

(O'Leary and his wife were indeed involved in a boating collision that killed two people in 2019; O'Leary states in the lawsuit that it was his wife driving the boat, and she was acquitted of any charges)

BitBoy also suggested that O'Leary was trying to have him killed, and claimed he'd swatted him. Shortly after, he posted O'Leary's cell phone number and encouraged his followers to "call a real life murderer"

Amusingly, BitBoy once tried to file a defamation lawsuit of his own against a YouTuber who called him a "shady dirtbag"

He dropped the suit almost immediately after the YouTuber raised over $200,000 for his defense in a matter of days, and Armstrong admitted he didn't know lawsuits were public

It's not clear that BitBoy even knows he's been sued yet; he was arrested two days ago after sending threatening emails to the judge in a DIFFERENT defamation case he's facing from his former business partners after he publicly accused them of various crimes

@molly0xfff it is pleasing to read, once in a while, that someone has quite literally stupided themselves directly into prison, like a giant firework being shot directly into the jail cells' toilet.

@Viss @molly0xfff It takes a lot to make me cheer for Kevin O'Leary, but I think I can muster it for this.

@kboyd @Viss @molly0xfff Either way, can you imagine being offered a ride by Mr and Mrs. OL? You're not entirely sure you're going to die, but as long as Kevin is rambling on, it's something you might just hope for.

@tim_lavoie 😂 Honestly, I do want to hear a bit about his photography. I'm sure he'd be happy to oblige. But I don't want to hear a single word about his supposed business acumen.

@Viss @molly0xfff this guy sounds like the perfect trump appointee.

@Jplonie @molly0xfff watch, there'll be AP photos of him boarding airforce one in like 3 days

@molly0xfff
My guess is the guy's a ketamine addict. His behavior sounds an awful lot like the muskrat himself.

@molly0xfff
"Armstrong admitted he didn't know lawsuits were public"

That made me LOL. Thank you.

@molly0xfff Was the so-called SWATting the time when BitBoy drove up to O’Leary’s house to pester him and had the police called on him while there? He is deluded enough to not know that is not SWATting at all.
