Linda Jones from the XRP community stated that Vitalik Buterin and JPMorgan are collaborating against Ripple.
Vitalik Buterin detail was noted in the Hinman Documents, which emerged as a development of the lawsuit between Ripple and the SEC. The allegations were that Ethereum Founder Vitalik Buterin was an intern at Ripple. It was noteworthy that Buterin, who wanted to train at Ripple, later founded Ethereum and Ripple could not straighten his back. Author Linde Jones claimed it was a ploy.
Jones stated that Buterin and JPMorgan joined forces to form a plot against Ripple.
Ripple Alleged Conspiracy: Vitalik Buterin and JPMorgan Starring!
Author Linda Jones, a prominent XRP community member, claimed that the US Federal Reserve, JP Morgan and Vitalik Buterin are all trying to harm Ripple.
Sharing on Twitter, Jones pointed out that Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, works as an intern at Ripple. Jones stated that Buterin tried to join Ripple as a trainee because it was a plot.
Linda Jones’ Allegation of Conspiracy to Ripple
Author Linda Jones pointed out that Vitalik Buterin left after interning at Ripple and founded Ethereum. Wanting to create his own crypto ecosystem, Buterin made a move against Ripple. Buterin sought to rise above Ripple by arguing that Ethereum is decentralized. Buterin, who received great support and built Ethereum with the money he collected from the ICO, later knocked on JPMorgan’s door. As can be seen in the documents included in the case files, JPMorgan has done a lot of work with Ethereum.
In the early days, Buterin, Tron and other people appeared at the Ripple office as interns and employees. It now appears they were sent by the Fed and China. https://t.co/qaSAl3XodL
The Fed banks knew Ripple would create a level playing field which would take their power 1/8

Jones, on the other hand, claimed that Buterin’s aim was to try to stand out by putting Ripple in the background, and JPMorgan also helped Buterin.
In addition, Jones stated that the US Federal Reserve was also involved in this plot. According to Jones, the US Federal Reserve saw Ripple’s technology as a threat and launched a North Star Project against Ripple. Ethereum was brought to the lead role of the North Star Project, a crypto ecosystem against Ripple.
This initiative, run in partnership with JPMorgan, the US Federal Reserve, and Buterin, defined XRP as a centralized entity. In this way, Ethereum would stand out while XRP entered legal processes.
Earlier, a JPMorgan analyst reviewed the details in the Hinman Documents and stated that Ethereum has received support.
Allegations aside, it seems that the SEC has been pretty ruthless towards Ripple. However, the SEC prefers to avoid rhetoric that Ethereum is a security.
Claims and Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson
Another name mentioned in the conspiracy allegations against Ripple was Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson. Allegedly, Hoskinson is among the names working at Ripple.
However, Hoskinson shared on Twitter that he did not work at Ripple and was mistaken for Vitalik Buterin. Hoskinson also confirmed that Buterin is working as an intern at Ripple.
Why do I keep seeing people claim I worked at Ripple as an intern? I never worked for them in any capacity. You're confusing me for Vitalik who I believe was an intern

Hoskinson was also involved in the founding of Ethereum and later left the project and founded Cardano.
