- The common link between Kevin O’Leary and BitBoy Crypto was SBF’s FTX.

The rumored spokesmen of Sam Bankman-Fried linked FTX scandal — Shark Tank investor Kevin O’Leary and Crypto YouTuber Ben Armstrong (“BitBoy Crypto”) – have called on an end to their Twitter quarrel. The renowned billionaire tweeted the possibility of appearing on an exclusive podcast with BitBoy Crypto to talk in favor of the cryptocurrency industry.

During the FTX fiasco, these two popular figures caught the community’s attention by slamming and mocking each other on Twitter. In late November 2022, the YouTube influencer took up a controversial mission to interrogate the FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) in the Bahamas. Also, he sarcastically announced his visit to Kevin O’Leary as well. Consequently, this initiated a spontaneous mockery from the Shark Tank investor who nicknamed Ben “Crypto Bozo.” In return, BitBoy called O’Leary a “murderer” — presumably for covering up his involvement in the FTX scandal.
Notably, BitBoy and other crypto influencers got subjected to a $1 billion lawsuit alongside Binance. Reportedly, Armstrong was again sued for threatening the lawyer and is demanded to report for a hearing on April 20 in the Floridian court.
Their Contrasting Views on Ripple (XRP)
Besides their FTX-related opinions, these crypto personalities’ views on Ripple’s (XRP) token raised enough speculations in the crypto space. Ripple’s long-running lawsuit with the US SEC garnered major buzz. Amid this, the YouTube influencer is extremely bullish on XRP. He forecasted that XRP could potentially become the top gainer of the next bull run. On the other hand, O’Leary shows no support for XRP. As a supporter of crypto regulations, he asserted that litigating against regulators is negatively affecting crypto adoption. Thus, he exhibited no involvement in Ripple’s war against SEC.
