A prominent cryptocurrency influencer Ben “BitBoy” Armstrong has reportedly claimed to have revealed the identity of the Shiba Inu founder. BitBoy had reportedly threatened to reveal the potential identity of the veiled Shiba Inu founder, and finally did so in a 20-minute video.
While Armstrong attributes Neyma Jahan as SHIB’s father, Jahan has reportedly denied the alleged revelations. BitBoy states Shiba Inu emanated from a highly disorganized beginnings, under the auspices of Karma DAO Armstrong initially shared a deleted tweet from Karma DAO founder Andrew Lee (admitting to be aware of Shiba Inu’s founder).
Again in Lee’s deleted tweet, BitBoy reportedly flags the proof that SHIB actually emanated from the Karma DAO group in the summer of 2020. Another unknown YouTuber gave evidence to BitBoy. This YouTuber reportedly revealed to have been contacted by Neyma Jahan after Shiba Inu’s launch. It is alleged by the unknown YouTuber that Jahan requested all Unification videos be deleted.
Notably, Unification is the builder of Shiba Inu’s Layer-2 (L2) network—Shibarium. So, BitBoy Crypto reportedly concludes that Shiba Inu’s founder is Neyma Jahan. BitBoy Crypto also tabled Karma DAO group messages revealing Jahan’s involvement in the SHIB donation to Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin.
But Jahan denies the allegations made by Armstrong. Jahan tweeted:
Hello guys, since a YouTube journalist decided to take anecdotal information from the internet and do this again, let me do this again as well

To thwart BitBoy’s allegations, Jahan writes, In 2021 there were unresearched articles about me saying that I was the founder/big whale of a famous coin. These are untrue and most were removed.
Also recently there are unresearched rumors saying that I work/worked with SBF. This is untrue, I have been in the same room as SBF precisely twice and one time exchanged a hello with him. Zero association in business or otherwise.
At press time, SHIB is trading at $0.00001063, up 1.50%, per CoinMarketCap (CMC).
