He argued that emails shared from Coinbase\u2019s early fundraising period showed that entities connected to <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/epstein-coinbase-investment-2014-doj-liquidchain-presale\/\">Epstein invested early in the crypto exchange<\/a> through intermediary Limited Liability Companies (LLCs).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The emails <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/crypto_bitlord7\/status\/2018516210993021264?s=46\" rel=\"nofollow\">show<\/a> Coinbase Co-founder and CEO Brian Armstrong communicating with Darren Indyke, a lawyer who represented Epstein, about a $3 million investment made when Coinbase was still in its early stages. In the messages, Armstrong discussed the possibility of buying back the early investors\u2019 stake since Coinbase had grown in value. He also mentioned changing the name of the company that had initially invested, possibly for privacy or legal reasons.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Crypto Bitlord claimed that these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/ripple\/why-xrp-is-bouncing-from-multi-year-lows-despite-epstein-email-and-mojaloop-concerns\/amp\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Epstein emails<\/a> suggest that funds linked to the deceased sex offender were previously invested in Coinbase. He argued that this link might help explain why the crypto exchange delisted XRP in the US after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuit against Ripple Labs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to the expert, the timing of <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/coinbase-relist-xrp-regulatory-clarity\/amp\/\">XRP\u2019s delisting<\/a> and the SEC investigations suggests coordinated pressure from early Coinbase investors allegedly linked to Epstein, who reportedly wanted to <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ripple-cto-xrp-price-suppression\/amp\/\">limit XRP\u2019s growth<\/a> during its formative years. He claimed these investors had pushed for XRP to be removed from the market long before regulatory action followed. As a result, Crypto Bitlord described the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ripple-concludes-sec-battle-with-125m-penalty\/amp\/\">SEC\u2019s lawsuit against Ripple<\/a> as a \u201crigged setup from day one.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While there is no public evidence supporting Crypto Bitlord\u2019s claims, he said he is working to piece together the timelines and gather proof. So far, neither Coinbase nor the US SEC has confirmed any Epstein-linked involvement with XRP. The SEC has also consistently maintained that its lawsuit against Ripple was based on <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/what-ripple-latest-court-win-means-for-xrp\/amp\/\">securities law concerns<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Leaked Emails Show The Bill Gates Foundation Evaluating Ripple In 2017<\/h2>\n<p>In other news, leaked emails from the Bill Gates-backed Foundation reveal early assessments of Ripple and Stellar compared to the Mojaloop payment platform.
