In the ever-evolving crypto sphere, notable crypto influencer Frankie Candles recently severed ties with the renowned HIT Network, following a turbulent phase marked by ongoing discord between Ben Armstrong, the erstwhile persona behind the famed ‘BitBoy’ brand, and HIT Network’s top brass. This shake-up underscores the digital currency domain’s unpredictable and often turbulent relationships.
Frankie Candles Walks a New Path
Frankie Candles articulated his decision unequivocally, signaling a fresh trajectory away from HIT Network. “The time has come for me to steer my own company, breaking away from the HIT Network banner,” he remarked. This move indicates Candles’ aspirations for autonomy and growth beyond the network’s umbrella.
The saga intensified when Ben Armstrong was extricated from his ‘BitBoy’ brand by HIT Network amidst accusations ranging from substance misuse to fiscal impropriety. Aggrieved by the abrupt dismissal, Armstrong promptly launched legal combat against HIT Network, spotlighting his ownership stake in the company as a cardinal point of contention. Armstrong solicited financial backing from his ardent followers to alleviate burgeoning legal costs.
On the eve of September 26, a wave of reports swept across the crypto community, broadcasting the arrest of Armstrong based on allegations of loitering near the residence of his former associate, Carlos Diaz. At the crux of this dispute was a Lamborghini, claimed by Armstrong to be unlawfully held by Diaz. Despite the brief detainment, Armstrong regained his freedom a few hours after the arrest.
Candles’ Disassociation from the Armstrong Controversy
In a subsequent dispatch on X on September 29, Frankie Candles delineated his non-involvement in the escalating Armstrong debacle. He emphasized, “My detachment from this ongoing tiff is firm, much like many innocents at HIT Network. The collective yearning is to refocus on crafting stellar crypto content.”
Candles voiced satisfaction regarding his stint at HIT Network, underscoring his exit as a stride towards broader horizons rather than a product of discord.
Within the statement, he expressed gratitude towards TJ Shedd, the commandeering CEO of HIT Network, and Armstrong for their instrumental support in carving his niche within the crypto milieu. The camaraderie shared among the crypto enthusiasts was further illuminated when Armstrong reciprocated the goodwill by endorsing Candles’ new venture.
