It just sucks that people are not getting this whole thing about how ripple terribly sucks and I hope one day they would not get to make a real mistake of holding this so called centralized currency thinking they are actually holding something worth it. Although I am not sure about the news, but one thing with ripple is that as long as it is centralized, anything goes.
