David Schwartz’s Hilarious Confession: The AMA Fiasco with Ozzy Was Staged!

In the annals of modern folly, one tale stands as a testament to both the absurdity of technological endeavors and the trials of human insight. The esteemed chief technology officer of Ripple, David Schwartz, in a moment of unguarded honesty, disclosed a rather amusing tale of deceit, wherein he orchestrated a farcical exchange, masquerading as an authentic communion with the venerated Ozzy Osbourne and his companions from the legendary Black Sabbath.

The Early Online Q&A Farce

I slipped a question to each of the other band members, mixing what I could glean from the cacophony around me.

Only a trifling few genuine fan inquiries ever penetrated this fortification of artifice. At one point, Schwartz, in his pursuit of authentic engagement, amalgamated the muffled sounds of Ozzy with answers purportedly crafted by the band’s manager—a convoluted endeavor that ultimately led him to the brink of despair regarding the authenticity of live engagements in our digital age.

Ah, the miseries of recording quality! Much of Ozzy’s famed expletives played hide and seek like mischievous children, barely discernible amidst the din. Schwartz described his struggle with “the C-word,” which, in abundance, loomed large only in his ears. Alas, at the behest of his superiors, he scoured them from the transcript, crafting a family-friendly facade. Such was the irony; this poor expletive found itself enshrined as the only recognizable utterance amidst a chorus of confusion! 🥳

In the wake of his disillusionment, Schwartz emerged with a newfound appreciation for the challenges of orchestrating genuine connections in an environment so fraught with disharmony and disconnection.

Fan Tribute And Crypto Surge

Not a fortnight after the unexpected demise of the great Ozzy on July 22, 2025, at the venerable age of 76, the ether was saturated with tributes and remembrances from adoring fans. In a curious twist of fate, developers, in their homage, launched meme coins aplenty, including The Mad Man (OZZY), which soared with a tempestuous vigor—an astonishing 16,000% surge—to trade at a minuscule $0.0039, briefly flirting with a market cap of $3.80 million, only to instill fears of scams and wild fluctuations among investors. 🤔

Meanwhile, in the bustling realm of financial exchanges, Ripple found itself ensnared in its own narrative of turmoil. Just last month, CEO Brad Garlinghouse boldly proclaimed the cessation of their cross-appeal against the US Securities and Exchange Commission. As the tides turned, the SEC showed signs of regression in its appeal, thus consolidating Ripple’s $125 million civil penalty. Thus, the long-standing quarrel over whether XRP sales constituted securities transactions risks drawing to a close, all while Schwartz’s tale of woe leaves us in stitches.
