Ripple首席執行官Brad Garlinghouse可能價值$ 10B

在X上的帖子中，Fox業務記者查爾斯·加斯帕里諾（Charles Gasparino）提出了有關Ripple及其首席執行官Brad Garlinghouse的疑問。根據加斯帕里諾（Gasparino）的說法，加林豪斯（Garlinghouse）現在可能價值100億美元，但該公司的財務披露仍然在很大程度上被公眾視為隱藏。

Fox Business reporter Charles Gasparino has raised questions about Ripple and its CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s lack of transparency.

福克斯商業記者查爾斯·加斯帕里諾（Charles Gasparino）提出了有關Ripple及其首席執行官Brad Garlinghouse缺乏透明度的問題。

According to a post on X, Gasparino said that with the recent price surge in XRP, the net worth of Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple’s CEO, is now around $10 billion, making him one of the richest people in the country.

根據X上的一篇文章，加斯帕里諾說，隨著XRP的最近價格漲幅，Ripple首席執行官布拉德·加林豪斯（Brad Garlinghouse）的淨資產現在約為100億美元，使他成為該國最富有的人之一。

However, Gasparino questioned why no one has seen a public filing from Ripple just on how much money the company makes. He added that Ripple is a business in the traditional sense—it’s not a blockchain experiment.

但是，加斯帕里諾（Gasparino）質疑為什麼沒有人會從Ripple中看到該公司賺多少錢的公開文件。他補充說，Ripple在傳統意義上是一項業務 - 這不是區塊鏈實驗。

Garlinghouse and Ripple did not respond to requests for comment.

Garlinghouse和Ripple沒有回應置評請求。

Gasparino’s remarks come amid another significant legal development for Ripple. This week, Garlinghouse revealed that the US Securities and Exchange Commission has ended its appeal of Judge Analisa Torres’s July ruling in Manhattan, which found that XRP sold on public exchanges does not meet the legal definition of a security.

加斯帕里諾（Gasparino）的言論是在Ripple的另一個重大法律發展中。本週，加林豪斯（Garlinghouse）透露，美國證券交易委員會（Analisa Torres）在曼哈頓（Manhattan）的七月裁決結束了其上訴，該裁決發現，XRP在公共交流中出售的XRP不符合對擔保的法律定義。

Garlinghouse’s inclusion in the Top 100 richest people in the US, and the fact that it’s largely driven by the cryptocurrency surge, is sure to spark interest especially with the Senate Banking Committee as they prepare to question Paul Atkins, the former SEC Commissioner and Trump administration official, for his role leading the SEC.

加林豪斯（Garlinghouse）納入美國排名前100名最富有的人，以及它在很大程度上是由加密貨幣激增所驅動的事實，一定會引起興趣，尤其是在參議院銀行委員會中，他們準備質疑前SEC專員和特朗普政府官員保羅·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins），因為他的職責領導了SEC。

Atkins’ confirmation hearing is set for March 27, where he’s expected to face lawmakers like US Senator Elizabeth Warren, known for her stance on securities law and cryptocurrency.

阿特金斯的確認聽證會定於3月27日，他預計將面對像美國參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫（Elizabeth Warren）這樣的立法者，該議員因其在證券法和加密貨幣方面的立場而聞名。

According to Gasparino, one key question for Atkins and the SEC on the Ripple case going forward is how retail trading of XRP passes the decentralization test, according to the SEC. But no one has seen any financials on Ripple from the company itself, which is surprising considering its founders’ wealth.

根據SEC的說法，根據加斯帕里諾（Gasparino）的說法，據SEC稱，阿特金斯（Atkins）和SEC的一個關鍵問題是XRP的零售交易如何通過權力下放測試。但是，沒有人看到公司本身對Ripple的任何財務狀況，考慮到其創始人的財富，這令人驚訝。

Since it’s a private company issuing a token integral to its operations, should it be disclosing traditional financials under securities laws? This question may arise during Atkins’ confirmation.

由於它是一家私營公司，該公司發行了其業務不可或缺的代價組成部分，它是否應根據證券法披露傳統財務狀況？在阿特金斯的確認期間，可能會出現這個問題。

If Garlinghouse’s net worth of $10 billion is accurate, he would be included in the Top 100 wealthiest people in the US, an aspect that lawmakers like Senator Warren, a critic of cryptocurrency, might highlight during the upcoming confirmation hearing.

如果加林豪斯（Garlinghouse）的淨資產為100億美元是準確的，那麼他將被列入美國前100名最富有的人，這一方面像加密貨幣的批評者沃倫（Warren）這樣的立法者可能會在即將舉行的確認聽證會上強調。

Garlinghouse’s personal sales of XRP, spanning 2017 to 2020, were previously mentioned in court documents from the SEC lawsuit against Ripple. These sales, totaling $164.26 million, were largely executed on foreign exchanges, with the highest single-year sale reaching $42.27 million in 2017 through a self-directed transaction on Bitstamp.

Garlinghouse在2017年至2020年的XRP個人銷售之前在SEC訴訟中針對Ripple的法庭文件中提到。這些銷售總額為1.642億美元，在外交交易所大大執行，通過BITSTAMP上的自定向交易，2017年的最高單年銷售達到了4227萬美元。

The remaining portion of the $600 million in personal, unregistered XRP sales cited by the SEC are attributed to Chris Larsen, Ripple’s executive chairman and co-founder. Meanwhile, the initial founders—Arthur Britto, Jed McCaleb, and Larsen—collectively received 20 billion XRP when the token was created.

SEC引用的6億美元個人，未註冊的XRP銷售中的剩餘部分歸因於Ripple的執行董事長兼聯合創始人Chris Larsen。同時，創建令牌時，最初的創始人 - 阿瑟·布里托（Arthur Britto），傑德·麥卡萊布（Jed McCaleb）和拉爾森（Larsen）收到了200億xrp。

Ripple later locked 55 billion XRP in escrow in 2017, aiming to provide predictability around token supply.

Ripple隨後於2017年將550億XRP鎖定在託管中，旨在提供令牌供應周圍的可預測性。

At press time, XRP traded at $2.41.
