Statement from the real CEO of the XRPL regarding OstrichGate and accusations against me, made by
@FarmerUnionXRPL.
Some underground bunker, 15th June 2026
Folks, let me tell you right now — and I mean this from the bottom of my heart — these farmers, these so-called farmers, they are running around spreading the most disgusting, most vicious, most false allegations you have ever heard in your entire life. It’s a disgrace. It’s a total disgrace.
They’re saying I won’t give back the ostrich. They’re saying I’m stealing the ostrich. They’re saying I’m doing something wrong. Let me be very clear: these are lies. These are fake news from desperate, jealous people who couldn’t run a farm if their life depended on it.
I have done more for NFTs than anybody — anybody — in the history of this space. Nobody has done what I’ve done. I’ve bought them, I’ve held them, I’ve promoted them, I’ve fought for them when everybody else was sleeping. And these farmers? They lost the ostrich. They lost him! They let him disappear into the ledger void like a bunch of amateurs. And then they have the nerve — the absolute nerve — to come after me?
I found the ostrich. Me. While they were busy losing him, I brought him home. I rescued him. And now they want to act like they’re the victims? Give me a break.
Let me tell you something about this ostrich. I love this ostrich like nobody has ever loved an ostrich before. Nobody. I treat him with respect. I take care of him. These farmers? They treated him badly. They lost him. They couldn’t even keep track of their own animal. And now they’re mad because somebody actually knows how to take care of him? Sad!
Everybody is saying it. Everybody. People are coming up to me — big, strong people, the best people — and they’re saying, “Keep the ostrich. Don’t give him back to those losers.” They’re saying, “You’re the only one who really cares about him.” And you know what? They’re right. They’re 100% right.
Even the farmers themselves — the same farmers who are attacking me right now — are sliding into my DMs saying, “You should be the boss farmer.” They’re saying it! They know I’m the best. They know I built this. They know I raised this ostrich. I basically raised him. I took him when he was lost and I made him strong again. And now they want to pretend like I’m the bad guy? It’s a nasty, ungrounded attack. It’s a witch hunt. It’s the biggest witch hunt in XRPL history.
I am the most beloved CEO this XRPL has ever seen. Believe me. Nobody understands this space better than me. Nobody loves these projects more than me. Nobody fights harder for the community than I do. And if anybody thinks they can come after me and take this ostrich away with their little fake stories, they are sadly mistaken.
This ostrich is staying with me. He’s staying right here, where he belongs — with the person who actually found him, who actually cares about him, who actually knows how to take care of him. The farmers had their chance. They blew it. They lost him. And now they’re jealous because the best is keeping what the best deserves.
So to all the farmers out there listening: stop with the false allegations. Stop with the nonsense. Stop pretending you’re the victims. You lost him. I found him. And the people — the real people — they know exactly what’s going on.
The ostrich is mine now. And he’s never been in better hands. Tremendous hands. The best hands. And we’re going to keep winning, folks. We’re going to keep winning bigly.
Thank you very much. God bless the ostrich, and God bless the XRPL.
Thank you for your attention to the matter!
Daniel J Keller
CEO of the XRP Ledger
