Ripple CTO: Arthur Britto's account has not been attacked, and he does not want to become a public figure

BlockBeats News: On June 24th, David 'Joel Katz' Schwartz, Chief Technology Officer of Ripple, confirmed in a post that the account involved in "Ripple co-founder Arthur Britto's first tweet on X in 14 years" has not been attacked or leaked. Arthur Britto's tweet features a 'silent face' emoji. According to Cointelegraph, Britto, along with Schwartz and Jed McCaleb, the founder of Mt. Gox, created the XRP ledger launched in 2012 and subsequently assisted in the development of the blockchain token XRP (XRP). He also co founded NewCoin with Schwartz, McCaleb, and Chris Larsen, which was later renamed OpenCoin and eventually evolved into the current Ripple Lab. Afterwards, he transferred to the position of consultant. The most well-known characteristic of Britto in the industry is his "mysterious" existence - there are no verified photos, he has never been interviewed or made public statements (excluding this emoji post), and he seems to deliberately avoid the public eye. He is also listed as the founder and president of PolySign, a blockchain infrastructure company. The commercial documents of the cryptocurrency trading platform Bitstamp show that Brito served as a director in May 2014 and subsequently resigned in September 2015. Britto's name has been mentioned in multiple US court case documents, including the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) lawsuit against Ripple, but these documents only mention him as a co creator of XRP. He also sued McCaleb in a California court in 2015, accusing him of violating contract terms by creating Stellar, claiming that Stellar copied Ripple's code. The Ripple team has explained that Brito chose to maintain privacy because management work "may bring huge pressure", he is "introverted and extremely concerned about personal privacy", and for personal reasons, he does not want to become a public figure.
