David Schwartz's recent statement has drawn attention to a mysterious post by Ripple co-founder Arthur Britto. Schwartz proposed a bizarre theory that Britto may have set up a 'deadman switch' for his XRP Ledger accounts.
The Deadman Switch Theory
Schwartz suggested that Britto might have configured a 'deadman switch' years ago, which would send the private keys to his XRP Ledger accounts to Schwartz if he failed to post anything on social media for 15 years. "Such a system automatically performs an action if the person fails to check in or stop it in time," Schwartz explained.

Arthur Britto shocked the XRP community by making his first social media post in nearly 14 years. His message, containing only a single emoji, sparked a flurry of theories about his potential return. Furthermore, Britto received 2% of the token's circulating supply according to a recently leaked agreement.

The Ripple co-founder is known for his intense privacy; there are no available photos of Britto, and he has never given any interviews. However, Schwartz confirmed that they remain in touch, and recently validated that Britto's cryptic post was not a result of a hacking incident.
Britto's post has garnered nearly four million views, and his account is approaching 60,000 followers. The mysterious circumstances surrounding his return continue to attract public interest.
