very bad news for XRP IMO. but they can probably struggle through it.
There is no struggle, Ripple Labs is doing astoundingly well:
This is a pure piece of corporate propaganda, baby.
The only actual number is 54 employees (may or may not be true)...
Which means they are burning through cash rapidly...
And constantly going hat in hand to venture investors.
Show me some actual REVENUE numbers for the Ripple network...
I don't care about unexplained "transaction volume" or XRP trading volume from Ripple Charts.
Post a link... and show me some hard numbers.
Chris Larsen helped start Prosper.com, another company that isn't profitable and just burns through money at an alarming rate.
Where Larsen personally faced SEC charges...
And Prosper had to carry out major regulatory changes to stay in business.
The regulators haven't even started on Ripple yet...
Because they are always in a state of chaos... and too small to matter.
They have been in business in California for 3 years...
I'm sure they have proper Financial Statements which are all RED INK...
But the Larsen's and Jed's of this world always GET FUCKING PAID in good old USD.
