The argument started again after Schwartz replied to a question about whether signing a warrant application constitutes an oath. In his response, Schwartz clarified that such submissions typically do not attest to firsthand knowledge but instead relay information, separating procedural formality from factual verification.
Schwartz's response to the question triggered a reaction from the old critic, who responded with insults while demanding the previously promised XRP reward.
