Linqto to the Rescue: No Ripple Effect Here!

Oh dear, it seems like someone’s been spreading some rather… creative… rumours about Linqto, the San Francisco-based investment platform ๐Ÿค”. On Monday, they released a statement that was basically a giant eye-roll at Matt Rosedin, Founder and CEO of CapSign ๐Ÿ™„. Apparently, he’d shared a post on X claiming that a private equity fund being set up by CapSign held 4.7 million Ripple shares held by Liquidishares. Yeah, nope, not true ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ.

Let’s Get This Straight: Ripple And Linqto

So, back in June, there were reports that Linqto was on the verge of bankruptcy ๐Ÿšจ. And, of course, Mr. Rosendin just had to go and fan the flames with some false info about his company, CapSign, holding $4.7 million of Ripple ๐Ÿ’ธ. Because, you know, who needs facts when you can just make stuff up? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Linqto, understandably, was all, “Uh, no, that’s not true” ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ. They said, “Contrary to published reports on X, Linqto confirms that Liquidshares’ holdings of Ripple shares remain unchanged” ๐Ÿ“Š.

Ripple Rides to the Rescue

As you can imagine, people were getting a bit worried about their Ripple shares, what with all the bankruptcy rumours and all ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. So, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stepped in to clear things up ๐Ÿ™. He said, “What we know from our records is Linqto owns 4.7M shares of Ripple, solely purchased on the secondary market from other Ripple shareholders (never directly from Ripple)” ๐Ÿ“.

And, just to make things crystal clear, he added that Ripple has no connection with Linqto, other than being a shareholder, and that they stopped trading with them in 2024 ๐Ÿšซ.

Linqto’s Got This

Linqto, meanwhile, is all about reassuring everyone that their shares are safe and sound ๐Ÿ™. They’ve got a new management team in place to make sure everything is secure ๐Ÿ”’. And, just to be extra sure, they’ve hired an independent third-party analyst firm to review their internal analysis and check for any risks ๐Ÿ“Š.

They’re also cooperating with regulators and have suspended their transactions until further notice ๐Ÿšซ.

The Final Word

So, there you have it. Linqto’s currently under investigation by the SEC and DOJ for some dodgy sales practices ๐Ÿš”. But, until everything is cleared up, Ripple’s keeping its distance ๐Ÿ‘‹.
