Its been 16 days since FTX filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. and the former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) is allegedly still hunkering down at his seaside resort in the Bahamas. This weekend, the Youtuber known as Bitboy decided to fly down to Nassau in order to question SBF about the FTX collapse, and crypto supporters on social media have been eagerly watching Bitboy search for SBF on the island.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While Trying to Confront SBF in the Bahamas, Bitboy Says He\u2019s Doing What No One Is Willing to Do<\/h2>\n

Crypto Twitter, otherwise known as CT, has been entertained this past weekend by the Youtube personality Bitboy<\/a>, otherwise known as Ben Armstrong. The reason Bitboy has caught so much attention during the last few days is because he decided to fly out to the Bahamas so he could question Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF).<\/p>\n

It is assumed that SBF is still in the Bahamas, even though the former crypto executive\u2019s ostensible private jet<\/a> has been traveling back and forth from Nassau to Argentina more than eight times<\/a> since the bankruptcy filing. A few days ago, Bitboy told CT that he was headed to the Bahamas to do what no one was willing to do which is question SBF about the FTX disaster.<\/p>\n

The man will not stop until he gets answers. \u2714\ufe0f<\/p>\n

Investigators from the U.S. have reportedly<\/a> been investigating the FTX collapse, but people don\u2019t believe law enforcement is really doing anything. Furthermore, they surely don\u2019t believe the media\u2019s efforts, as news publications like the New York Times (NYT)<\/a>, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), Forbes, and the Washington Post have been accused of protecting SBF\u2019s image and printing \u201cpuff pieces\u201d<\/a> about FTX and Alameda executives.<\/p>\n

\n

NO ONE ELSE IS HERE TRYING TO GET TO THE TRUTH<\/p>\n

Only us.<\/p>\n

People are terrified for my safety. I\u2019m eating a Tuna Steak lol. I\u2019m fine. Guys you have no idea. This is not what you think it is. It\u2019s not dangerous here at all. It\u2019s actually super welcoming.<\/p>\n

Bitboy\u2019s visit to the Bahamas has been trending for the past 24 hours, and Twitter\u2019s vertical trends show more than 100,000 tweets<\/a> about the subject at the time of writing. The Youtuber with over 1 million Twitter followers stressed<\/a> on Saturday that \u201cno one else is here trying to get to the truth.\u201d Bitboy said his hunt for SBF wasn\u2019t about gaining attention but more about getting real answers from the former FTX CEO.<\/p>\n

\"Crypto
At 9:30 a.m. (ET) on Sunday, Nov. 27, 2022, the term \u201cBitboy\u201d was trending with over 126,000 tweets.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cThis is not about clicks. This is about answers. And I\u2019m not leaving this island without them,\u201d Bitboy tweeted<\/a>. Lots of people have shown enthusiasm for what Bitboy is doing and many people thought it was very entertaining. \u201cWho tf needs Netflix when you have CT?\u201d one individual asked<\/a>. In fact, crypto fans were quite astounded that it was Bitboy going to question SBF rather than investigators and the media.<\/p>\n

Crypto Influencers Show Respect to Bitboy for His Reporting Efforts, Condo Staffer Says No One\u2019s Been Looking for SBF<\/h2>\n

\u201cSo, here is the guy taking on and investigating the FTX scandal,\u201d the Twitter account Cryptobull wrote<\/a>. \u201cNot the FBI, not the DOJ, not the media, and certainly not the SEC. My respect [Bitboy],\u201d Cryptobull added. Bitboy responded to Cryptobull\u2019s tweet and said: \u201cI told you I was out here fighting for the people. If no one else will do it, I will.\u201d However, getting in touch with SBF has been difficult for Bitboy as SBF has blocked him<\/a> on Twitter. But that hasnt stopped Bitboy\u2019s hunt to find SBF so he can be questioned and the Youtuber has shared pictures and videos about the experience.<\/p>\n

One group of photos Bitboy shared on Saturday was a few images of SBF\u2019s alleged Toyota Corrola. \u201cAccording to Twitter this is Sam\u2019s Corolla,\u201d Bitboy tweeted<\/a>. \u201cComplete with pills in the front seat. Maybe someone can identify what they are. And an MSI laptop in the back. SBF, look out your window bud. I just want to talk. Come tell your story,\u201d the Youtuber added.<\/p>\n

Bitboy also shared a video<\/a> of the Albany seaside condominium where SBF allegedly resides at the moment. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing to me a staffer at the Albany said we are the first people to come looking for Sam WTF,\u201d Bitboy tweeted. The Youtuber has also been messaging SBF via iMessage and Bitboy shared a picture<\/a> of the texts that show SBF may have read them. Later in the evening, Bitboy said:<\/p>\n

\n

I\u2019m just down here because no one has been willing to represent the people and confront Sam.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A great number of cryptocurrency supporters tweeted about Bitboy\u2019s visit to the Bahamas to question SBF. The bitcoin proponent Layah Heilpern explained that she wanted to see a live stream of the visit. \u201cIt\u2019s confirmed [Bitboy] is officially outside Sam Bankman-Fried\u2019s house demanding answers,\u201d Heilpern tweeted<\/a>. \u201cHow is a crypto guy doing a better job than U.S. investigators? I want a live stream right now\u2026 Anyone else?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Throwback to when the security guard escorted us out. Brian was pretty cool tbh. <\/p>\n

Sam, Barb, and Joe are the ones who made him to it.<\/p>\n

Sam I\u2019ll come back if you put me on the guest list. pic.twitter.com\/13OqNOBSwq<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Ben Armstrong (@Bitboy_Crypto) November 27, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Following Bitboy\u2019s tweets, pictures and videos on Saturday, the Youtuber said that SBF is allegedly being kicked out of the seaside condo in 48 hours. \u201cSam will be kicked out of the Albany within 48 hours. Can you imagine living there knowing how many enemies he has who now see how easy it is to get in?\u201d Bitboy said<\/a>. If you are his neighbor, would you want this kind of attention in your million-dollar compound?\u201d The following day the Youtuber said:<\/p>\n

\n

We have basically done the equivalent of throwing a digital sledgehammer through Sam\u2019s window. Once he came down from his uppers last night, how do you think he slept?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
