He took to Twitter to clarify that he never worked for Ripple in any capacity and that people are confusing him with Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, who applied for an internship at Ripple in 2013 but was unable to work there due to visa issues. Hoskinson's tweet sparked reactions from the crypto community, with some making fun of the situation while others urged him to focus on building Cardano. Former Ripple executive Matt Hamilton confirmed that Buterin had applied for an internship at Ripple.
