Hey! Welcome to BitBoy Crypto!
My name is Ben.
I'm not in jail!
So I was at court today.
Look. Bitcoin's boring right now.
19 countries say they want to join the BRICS nations, dual economy, yada, yada.
I want to tell you guys what happened today in court.
And I'm going to be as brief as I can with this
because I just made a video and it was 20 minutes.
And that's too long.
So I'm going to try to keep this four or five minutes.
Just let you guys know briefly what happened.
As you guys know, I'm being sued for a billion dollars in a class action lawsuit.
And I won't shut up about it.
And this has led to some harassment charges or complaints from my opponent,
the attorney on the other side.
I'm trying to comply the judge I'm not supposed to talk about.
I'm sure I can talk about it.
I'm sure I can say his name on the channel
in the context of the transcripts that are public record
and what happened in court today,
but I'm not going to.
I'm not going to give him the the benefit of the PR of me ever saying his name again.
So what happens is we go to court,
and I just--
I think that the guy thinks I'm an idiot.
I think that's--
you know, a lot of people that are loud
and they are boisterous
and have big egos,
humbling around situations,
they talk a lot,
a lot of times, those people are dumb.
That's the idea anyways.
I don't know if that's true or not.
That's what people think.
So I think that people think because of how I handled this
that I'm just an easy pushover idiot
and I just won't comply with the law because I won't comply with the law.
That's not the case at all.
I didn't go to court last week because I would go to jail
before I rug pull my audience.
I'd go to jail before I rug pull my audience.
100 people signed up to go to BitBoy cruise about.
It may have been 70.
It may be 120.
I don't even know how many it was.
We got a lot of people on the Royal Caribbean Independence of the Seas last week
for the BitBoy cruise.
It went awesome, unbelievable.
We're going to do it again next year.
I want to go to Jamaica next year.
So, you know, there's your announcement.
BitBoy cruise for the win!
I'll schedule the court date after next time.
The lawyer knew I was in the Bahamas last week.
He knew I was going.
He's been combing our website for evidence.
I know this factually for several reasons.
He intentionally set me up.
I said this on public record today.
He's made false allegations.
He's outright lied to the judge.
The accusation is I threatened him verbally on a voice call
and then on several audio calls.
They tried to make me look like a crazy person,
a psycho,
as what one of his employees said about me.
No, that's not what happened at all.
Actually,
the first phone call, which is the key of the entire thing
because the first phone call, we debunked the whole thing,
but the first phone call,
it couldn't have been me.
It was at 1:06 PM Eastern Standard Time.
Our show in Saint Patrick's day went until 1:07 PM Eastern Standard Time.
Then I immediately went downstairs with Kelly
and filmed a video for BitLab that didn't get released.
We don't have the metadata for that one,
but we do know it was on our calendars and we both remember recording it,
and we had four or five people at the office who signed sworn statements
saying that we didn't make phone calls for that time.
We went down and we set things up for a video and we made a video.
Unfortunately, we just decided not to post that one,
so it got deleted.
However, the next one's a little more condemning for him,
which is it was the 2.20 video,
which we started at like--
when did we start it?
We started it at I think 1:29.
I think it ended at 1:49, somewhere around there, PM.
I'm on camera with timestamps.
I literally couldn't have made those calls.
Literally couldn't.
It's like seeing someone on camera in London
and accusing them at the same time murdering somebody in San Francisco.
It just doesn't make any sense.
And it never made sense.
And that's what I told the judge today.
I apologized to the judge of not being in court last week.
I wanted to be there,
but the other attorney made it so I couldn't because he specifically scheduled it
because they hate me.
They hate me. It's very clear.
I looked him in the eyes when I walked in.
I had sunglasses on.
I wish I had them off so I could stare him in the eyes eye to eye,
but once I did that, he never looked at me again in the face.
And as I stated in the court,
it's because of false allegations.
And it's because they made up stuff.
Guys, I didn't do what he said I did, period.
I have proof.
I have evidence that I didn't do it.
And so this whole thing has been based on these big threats that I gave him
that I never once did.
Not one phone call.
There was one phone call that came in later at 5:30.
The only other piece of evidence.
I was live streaming with Madden on his channel for two and a half hours that night during that time.
So he knows, the attorney knows, that he's lying.
He knows that he's lying.
I said this in court. I told the judge this today.
He knows I didn't make those phone calls.
Whether these phone calls were contrived--
isn't it interesting that it's only the transcripts of audio voicemails?
You want to know why?
Either because--
well, I'll just say it like this,
because everyone there knows that it's not me.
It's very obvious if you listen to that voicemail it's not me.
Or either it doesn't exist.
One or the other.
Both of those are not good news.
However, the case, the harassment part of this case today was dropped
because there's nothing to pursue
because I never did any of the threatening things they said.
All I've done is make fun of the guy on Twitter.
That's all I've done.
And I sent him some emails that were some nasty emails, of course,
but nothing threatening of them I want to get his legal license taken away.
And so the spin on this stuff was unbelievable.
But after I gave my opening statement, under oath, by the way,
I wanted to go under oath today to say all this stuff,
after I go in there and do it,
the judge and I talked for a few moments,
and she asked the other attorney if there's anything that he wants to say.
He smirks a little bit.
He stands up.
He leans over in the microphone.
"No, Your Honor."
The case is over for this part, the harassment side,
which means
the attorney is not going to be held accountable.
He's not going to have to show where those voicemails came from.
And that's what I'm disappointed about.
Because I've got a chance here in so many ways to clear my name,
not just on this case,
but beyond that, with a lot of false allegations people say about me all the time.
And I'm chomping at the bit to do--
this lawsuit has been a gift handed to me on a silver platter.
There's so many great things that I can do with this.
And I really believe that by the end of this entire saga,
maybe a while,
my name is going to be cleared on not everything here,
but people are going to start looking at me in a different way.
I'm not a cartoon character.
Okay, guys? I'm not a meme.
I'm a real person with a real family
that spent a lot of money in crypto, has done very well,
and I try to help people.
And that's it. That's all that I do.
And yes, I make some enemies along the way.
Who are these enemies?
The people who take advantage of people.
That's who I go after.
Think about all the people I've gone after.
They're people that take advantage of people.
And I stand up for people.
That's what I did today in the courtroom.
That's what I'll continue to do.
Now, what comes next from here?
I'm not sure,
but I did, on the record today, on the transcripts--
now, look.
You guys know we love our partner Stake.
They're our main sponsor on the channel.
They are--
they are our channel sponsor.
We love Stake.
I made a bunch of money on there the other night.
On my own money. I was going to point that out.
Because I know, you know, people go after people who like pretend like it's their money
and it's sponsorship money.
No, I take the same amount of money home today that I took two years ago every week.
I take the same amount of money every week and I have.
It doesn't matter how much money is coming in from a sponsorship.
And if I lost the money,
it's really my money that I lost.
So they are our partner and they do pay us,
but I collateralized a bunch of my NFTs to get some money to put on Stake the other night,
which is I said this in the video last night,
of course, if you watched it.
Go back and watch it.
But the fact is, is that
I made a lot of money on Stake the other day.
A lot of money.
$162,000
From $1,200.
It was luck. It was pure luck.
It was pure luck.
But what did I do with that money?
Well, I bought a Bored Ape.
And I bought a Rolex today.
So this Rolex is sponsored by Stake.
Now, I did, of course, in the transcript,
you guys will be able to see it when it's made public
in the next few hours probably,
is that my opponent had a very big problem with me continuing to say "sponsored by Stake."
Very big problem with it.
I actually wore a tie today that says Stake on it to the courtroom.
Because, you know, why did I do it?
Well, No. 1, because I love Stake.
And what do I mean by that?
I love them. They're great people.
I have enjoyed working with him so much.
And look. You may hate them because they're gambling,
but where do you think adoption comes from in a lot of different senses?
It comes from some of the nefarious industries.
I mean, what made Bitcoin popular?
Silk Road, right?
So,
what I would say is, for my opinion, I think Stake is very honest.
And I really enjoyed working with them.
And I think they're really cool.
And I was glad to be able to live the meme in real life where I wore my Stake tie.
So you guys go check out Stake.
I got some links on Twitter.
We're going to do another giveaway with them here pretty soon.
But I didn't say it.
I didn't say sponsored by Stake.
I didn't reference my tie.
My opponent did it for me.
So you guys can check it out on the transcripts.
We'll make sure to post that.
And I want everybody to know, I want to be very clear here,
I will comply with the court.
Whatever the court says from this point,
I'm going to go with.
Now, if I'm in a situation like I had to choose to rug pull my audience
or show up to a court date,
well,
next time I've got representation, we'll be able to go through a proper channel
to get delayed, right? Or give me where I don't have to appear on that day and time.
But just remember,
I will always choose my audience.
I will always choose my audience because the BitSquad,
the best group of people,
not just on the internet,
not just in the world,
the entire Milky Way galaxy.
There's another galaxy out there that's awesome.
People really love it.
They're great people there.
They're better people than us.
They actually, you know.
They destroy the environment and they love it.
They don't judge anybody.
I'm just kidding.
So, anyways, that's what happened today.
I would love to say I'm coming back, but I've got an interview on Thursday
that someone's doing for me,
or with me,
that's going to be absolutely huge.
Let me say it like this.
Absolutely huge.
Huge. It's going to be huge.
You're going to find out more.
It's not Donald Trump.
Or is it?
Okay, guys.
That's all I got.
I'm in South Florida.
I'm going to play some poker.
Be blessed.
BitBoy out.
