Title: Ripple Board Member, Trump Associate Arrested
Post by: luckyflop on October 23, 2020, 08:13:17 PM
Ken Kurson, a Ripple board member, was arrested today on cyberstalking charges. He is in federal custody.
Kurson is equally known for his political and cryptocurrency affiliations. He founded Modern Consensus, a cryptocurrency publication, in 2018 and also started New Jersey Globe, a political website.
Previously, he helmed the New York Observer from 2013 to 2017, serving as editor in chief. President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, was the publisher.
Kurson's intersection with the Trump family have their roots back to at least 2008, however, when he was involved with Rudy Giuliani's failed presidential campaign and wrote a book with him afterward; Giuliani is one of Trump's lawyers. Kurson returned to presidential politics to work on a speech for Donald Trump's 2016 campaign.

Fun fact:

He joined Ripple's board in 2017, while he was still with the Observer. According to Ripple's announcement at the time, "Kurson provides unique editorial and analyst expertise that will help support Ripple’s work to drastically increase the speed and efficiency of cross-border payments.

According to the article that I have mentioned above me and it's very interesting ripple has believed him to make ripple even greater while this time it looks like this can be considered as a scandal for ripple too.

I'm interested in waiting for the answer from ripple but it looks like ripple will not give any comment about that
It seems to me if he didn't have a good track record.
