While Tipping Point is a nonprofit organisation working to break the cycle of poverty in the Bay Area of San Fransisco, Silicon Valley Community Foundation (SVCF) focuses on relief efforts to contain the spread of the highly infectious COVID-19 across the Silicon Valley area. The Tipping Point aims at raising $30 million for its Emergency Response effort. Meanwhile, several impersonators of Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse have been organising giveaways through popular social media platforms like YouTube, Instagram and Twitter. Brad tweeted about these impersonators and sought strict action against them.
Enough is enough -- in a time of global crisis, when people are especially vulnerable -- social platforms need to hold scammers (crypto and otherwise) accountable for stealing money from innocent victims with fake giveaways. (1/2) https://t.co/wxrF4J3JWu
