A tweet by a Satirical tweeter account that aims at sharing jokes about the sixth-largest cryptocurrency according to Market cap was responded to by Ripple’s CTO David Schwartz, saying that it is a federal crime.
The Ordeal came to play yesterday after XRPP tweeted that Judge Analisa Torres is on the verge of issuing a summary conclusion on the SEC vs. Ripple case.

The XRP community is all away that the tweet was a production prank, However, Schwartz warns about the consequences of such actions.
This was expressed by Schwartz in the comment section.
In response to the tweet by the CTO, XRPP asked if it is legal to “expertly impersonate a federal judge.”
(Badly) impersonating a Federal judge is (probably) a crime.

The tweet became interesting in the comment section as pro-XRP attorney Bill Morgan join the conversation by asking if it is a crime to be funny.
Unlike the response that the CTO gave to other Ripple Executives, he did not respond to the question by Bill.
