Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz announced that he once fake fan questions for Black Sabbath and the answers from the recently deceased rock legend Ozzy Osbourne filtered during what was meant as an authentic Q & A with fans – an experience that he now regrets.
“I cheated,” said Swartz on Thursday in an X post.
“For me personally it was a failure, but for everyone else it was a success,” he remembered his time at Webmaster when he was instructed as an employee to type answers to Fan questions for Osbourne -who died on Tuesday at the age of 76 -and the rest of Black Sabbath Band -members who used the company’s conference software.
Fans were not interested in someone other than Osbourne
As a self -proclaimed fast typist, Schwartz explained that he was asked to talk to the band members by telephone, to pass on questions from fans and type their answers in real time.
But it quickly became clear to Schwartz that fans were not interested in someone else in the band; Every question was for Osbourne. “I specifically asked the moderators to give me questions that had not been for Ozzy. There was just none,” he said.

Schwartz held a series of pre -written “canned questions” at hand in the case of technical issues, which he eventually used to prevent the other band members from being omitted.
“I asked a canned question to each of the other band members in rotation. And I mixed what I could make of what they said with the canned answer from their manager,” said Schwartz.
“At the time I felt really bad about the whole thing. It was not the authentic interaction with celebrities I wanted to be and that I tried to get,” he said, adding that only “two or three” legitimate fan questions ever made the band.
Schwartz reveals that he has cleaned up Osbourne’s answers
Schwartz also admitted that he removed the blasphemy from Osbourne’s answers:
“Ozzy’s answer contained the C-word a lot. The bad C-word. The one who really doesn’t like to say Americans. It was pretty close to the only word I could clearly hear.”
“I typed the answer from Ozzy as close as possible, probably to get rid of the poor connecting quality. I censored the C words,” he added.
