Ryan Selkis claims to have received threats after his crypto analytics firm Messari published a critical analysis of Ripple (XRP).
“Someone just called me from a Nashville number and recited my wife’s birthday to me. Then hung up,” he tweeted, adding, “@bgarlinghouse these are the type of animals you and your f*****g company enable. War”.
In follow up tweets, he said he had received further threatening calls and that he had gone to the police. “It’s a punk kid most likely,” he stated.
