Title: Another Fed Jumps Over The Bitcoin Fence Post by: SueGiant on March 20, 2015, 04:14:43 PM Former US State Department Official on Advisory Board of Bitcoin Firm Ripple Labs
http://www.newsbtc.com/2015/03/19/former-us-state-department-official-on-advisory-board-of-bitcoin-firm-ripple-labs/ If I am not mistaken, this will be the second time a fed has joined ripple labs. Why is this Bitcoin firm always choosing guys from the government to work for them. What does that mean?

Ripple Labs is not a Bitcoin firm. They choose such people for the prestige and connections. But I don't think all those 'celebrity hires' will do them any good in the long term.

Ripple is probably paying a hefty price for her services. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anja_Manuel Anja Manuel is a former U.S. State Department official. She is Co-Founder and Partner along with former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, former National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley and former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, in RiceHadleyGates LLC, a strategic consulting firm.[1] The firm assists CEOs and senior executives at major companies — many of them headquartered in California — to export, expand their businesses, and meet regulatory challenges in key emerging markets such as China, India and the Middle East.
