Charles Hoskinson, the creator of Cardano and former co-founder of Ethereum, has denied any involvement in the alleged conspiracy against XRP. The denial came after a follower presented him with emails reportedly sent by a prominent SEC functionary discussing Ethereum's classification as a security. Hoskinson clarified that the emails were from 2018 and beyond, long after he had left Ethereum in 2014 due to a difference in vision with co-founder Vitalik Buterin. Hoskinson emphasized that he had no involvement in the controversy surrounding the emails.
