Ripple首席执行官Brad Garlinghouse可能价值$ 10B

在X上的帖子中，Fox业务记者查尔斯·加斯帕里诺（Charles Gasparino）提出了有关Ripple及其首席执行官Brad Garlinghouse的疑问。根据加斯帕里诺（Gasparino）的说法，加林豪斯（Garlinghouse）现在可能价值100亿美元，但该公司的财务披露仍然在很大程度上被公众视为隐藏。

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

福克斯商业记者查尔斯·加斯帕里诺（Charles Gasparino）提出了有关Ripple及其首席执行官Brad Garlinghouse缺乏透明度的问题。

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.

根据X上的一篇文章，加斯帕里诺说，随着XRP的最近价格涨幅，Ripple首席执行官布拉德·加林豪斯（Brad Garlinghouse）的净资产现在约为100亿美元，使他成为该国最富有的人之一。

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，加斯帕里诺（Gasparino）质疑为什么没有人会从Ripple中看到该公司赚多少钱的公开文件。他补充说，Ripple在传统意义上是一项业务 - 这不是区块链实验。

Garlinghouse and Ripple did not respond to requests for comment.

Garlinghouse和Ripple没有回应置评请求。

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.

加斯帕里诺（Gasparino）的言论是在Ripple的另一个重大法律发展中。本周，加林豪斯（Garlinghouse）透露，美国证券交易委员会（Analisa Torres）在曼哈顿（Manhattan）的七月裁决结束了其上诉，该裁决发现，XRP在公共交流中出售的XRP不符合对担保的法律定义。

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）纳入美国排名前100名最富有的人，以及它在很大程度上是由加密货币激增所驱动的事实，一定会引起兴趣，尤其是在参议院银行委员会中，他们准备质疑前SEC专员和特朗普政府官员保罗·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins），因为他的职责领导了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.

阿特金斯的确认听证会定于3月27日，他预计将面对像美国参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）这样的立法者，该议员因其在证券法和加密货币方面的立场而闻名。

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.

根据SEC的说法，根据加斯帕里诺（Gasparino）的说法，据SEC称，阿特金斯（Atkins）和SEC的一个关键问题是XRP的零售交易如何通过权力下放测试。但是，没有人看到公司本身对Ripple的任何财务状况，考虑到其创始人的财富，这令人惊讶。

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.

由于它是一家私营公司，该公司发行了其业务不可或缺的代价组成部分，它是否应根据证券法披露传统财务状况？在阿特金斯的确认期间，可能会出现这个问题。

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）的净资产为100亿美元是准确的，那么他将被列入美国前100名最富有的人，这一方面像加密货币的批评者沃伦（Warren）这样的立法者可能会在即将举行的确认听证会上强调。

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个人销售之前在SEC诉讼中针对Ripple的法庭文件中提到。这些销售总额为1.642亿美元，在外交交易所大大执行，通过BITSTAMP上的自定向交易，2017年的最高单年销售达到了4227万美元。

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6亿美元个人，未注册的XRP销售中的剩余部分归因于Ripple的执行董事长兼联合创始人Chris Larsen。同时，创建令牌时，最初的创始人 - 阿瑟·布里托（Arthur Britto），杰德·麦卡莱布（Jed McCaleb）和拉尔森（Larsen）收到了200亿xrp。

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

Ripple随后于2017年将550亿XRP锁定在托管中，旨在提供令牌供应周围的可预测性。

At press time, XRP traded at $2.41.
