The Chief Technology Officer von Ripple, David Schwartz, is reportedly clean, which was charged as a live fan -Fan -Q & a with Ozzy Osbourne and the members of Black Sabbath.
He admitted to X that during his stay in a company called Webmaster, technical disorders and a lack of interest in the full band forced him to improvise.
Fans only wanted Ozzy. So “cheated” Schwartz, feeds preferred questions and processed answers about the company’s old conferenceroom software.

Early online -Q & A shows
Schwartz said that moderators would pass on fan queries by phone and then transcribe the band’s answers. But when nobody asked for Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler or Bill Ward, he came across every member to every member.
I typed Ozzy’s answer as precisely as possible, probably due to the poor connection quality. I censored the C words.
And then I cheated. I have passed on a general question at each of the other band members in rotation. And I mixed what I could out of what she …

Only “two or three” real fan inquiries have ever made it. Once Schwartz mixed what he heard with the manager of the band’s answers. He later confessed badly that the session was not the true, unfiltered chat he had hoped to run.
Censoring Ozzys answers
Bad audio meant that a lot of ozzy’s legendary obscenity was hardly audible. Schwartz typed the “C -word” many times, but then scrubbed it at the request of his bosses.
He said that the bad C -word was quite close to the only word he could hear, and censored it to make the conversation a family -friendly format. As a result, he was disillusioned about how difficult it was to achieve an authentic live event online.
Fan tribute and crypto run
Based on reports, the confession came just a few days after the death of Osbourne on July 22, 2025 at the age of 76. When the fans shared memories, developers started in honor of Meme coins.
A token, the crazy man (ozzy), shot more than 16,000%to act with $ 0.0039, and briefly took a market capitalization of 3.80 million dollars before investors began to take care of fraud and sudden dump.
Ripple and SEC settlement
In the meantime, Ripple has made his own headlines. Last month, CEO Brad Garlinghouse said that the company would attract its claimant against the US security and Exchange Commission.
The SEC is also expected to reduce its attraction. This step cemented Ripple of 125 million US dollars in the amount of $ 125 million under civil law, but brings both sides closer to the end of an almost five -year fight as to whether XRP sales were counted as securities transactions.
