Ripple CEO Lambasts Scammers as “Pathetic Lowlifes”: “We Are Fighting Back”

by

Recently on X social media platform, Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple, expressed strong disapproval towards individuals falsely representing him with the intent to deceive social media users and carry out scams.

The executive expresses his determination to counteract those attempting to misuse his identity for harmful purposes, whom he describes as lacking in moral principles.

Garlinghouse attached a fun video clip that features his doppelganger in plaid pajama pants.

A doppelganger is running a well-known cryptocurrency swindle, tricking naive individuals into believing they will receive twice the amount they transferred to the scammer’s wallet.

“During the video, Garlinghouse in a suit jokingly remarked, ‘Ripple won’t request you to transfer XRP… At least they managed to get my hairstyle correct.’ “

In his next social media update, Garlinghouse encouraged the XRP community to take care of themselves. He also praised the innovative team at Ripple for producing an impressive video.

For years, Ripple has been combating fraudulent activities associated with its name in the cryptocurrency world. In 2020, the blockchain company took a bold step by filing a complaint against YouTube for allowing the spread of XRP scams on their platform. The dispute was resolved with a settlement in the following year. Regrettably, this action failed to halt persistent scammers exploiting the Ripple name.

Advanced artificial intelligence (AI) is making XRP scams more convincing. For instance, a sophisticated deepfake video recently surfaced on social media featuring what appeared to be Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse. The deepfake not only resembled Garlinghouse visually but also mimicked his voice with remarkable accuracy (as detailed in an article by U.Today).
