The crypto world is buzzing after crypto YouTuber Bitboy (Ben Armstrong) took to Twitter, proclaiming he would dox the Shiba Inu token founder this week. The threat comes amidst ongoing controversy surrounding the Shiba Inu ecosystem and its lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama. Armstrong claimed he would reveal the identity of the pseudonymous founder, suggesting the individual belonged to a Telegram social community called Karma DAO. BitBoy's announcement follows recent concerns, including discussions over Shibarium’s code.

Shytoshi Kusama, the anonymous volunteer lead developer for the Shiba Inu ecosystem, has already dismissed Ben Armstrong, aka Bitboy, showing the community's resilience. The controversy adds another layer to the already complex narrative surrounding Shiba Inu, particularly given BitBoy's claims and history. Furthermore, BitBoy faces his own legal challenges; he has vowed to get a Shiba Inu tattoo if he is still named in the $1 billion class action suit against alleged FTX promoters when the judge rules. This adds an unusual and personal stake to his involvement in the Shiba Inu narrative.

The promise to dox the SHIB founder has sparked debate within the crypto community. BitBoy Crypto claims he will reveal the SHIB founder's real identity, intensifying the discussion about anonymity and accountability in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. The situation is developing rapidly, with many watching to see if BitBoy follows through on his threat and what the potential consequences for the Shiba Inu project might be.
