Lawsuits surrounding Andrew Tate-linked coins
After the PEPE rally in the past few weeks, attention has shifted to other memes like BEN and PSYOP. These coins gained more attention as Ben “Bitboy” Armstrong and Andrew Tate were associated with them.
In a tweet on May 20, Mike Kanovitz, partner of law firm Loevy & Loevy and CEO of Jurat Blockchains, threatened to sue ben.eth if PSYOP does not return presale buyers. They also sent a letter to ben.eth as NFT. This letter outlined the potential charges ben.eth could face.
To @eth_ben and @psyopeth :
My law firm, Loevy & Loevy, will be filing a class action against you in your IRL name if you do not refund all of the $PSYOP presale purchasers immediately.
Our settlement demand letter has served as an NFT to your ben.eth address, viewable here:… pic.twitter.com/qaxhECDUhb— Mike Kanovitz (@MikeKanovitz) May 19, 2023
Bitboy has raised a staggering $7 million in the PSYOP pre-sale. Kanovitz proposes a solution by returning ETH to affected investors, seeking damages of $21 million through a class action lawsuit.
BEN and PSYOP, which received a lot of attention, owed their increase in popularity to ben.eth. PSYOP is associated with Andrew Tate.
Ten chain detectives uncover more evidence
On chain detective ZachXBT uncovered evidence that ben.eth misled investors. It has also found that it has collected significant 10,000 ETH through its PSYOP pre-sale. To support their claims, ZachXBT shared screenshots of the tweets, with a headline implying a false sense of surprise.

The letter, published by Konovitz, met with backlash from PSYOP advocates. First, his unofficial style was ridiculed for typos and disapproval by Kanovitz’s legal partner, Jon Loevy. Ben_eth dismissed the legal threat, considering it unprofessional and potentially risking problems with the bar.
However, it should be noted that PSYOP, despite raising $7 million, lacks integrity and content. This came to light when a media studio of the same name denounced the project on May 19. Also, a scammer attempted to spoof the token launch via a phishing scheme. This further damaged the credibility of the project.
