XRP billionaire boys club: Tracking Ripple’s earliest insiders •

Founders and early insiders of Ripple and its XRPL blockchain have sold billions of dollars worth of XRP since the network went live in 2012.

Ripple’s Chris Larsen to fund police surveillance, drones in San Francisco

As part of the $9.4M gift, Ripple Labs will sublet a lavish office to the San Francisco Police Department’s drone surveillance unit for free.

An associate of Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen used the hacked password manager LastPass to store private keys guarding Larsen’s $150M in XRP.

Movements of XRP by Chris Larsen and Ripple insiders are drawing suspicion from skeptics of Donald Trump’s recent endorsement.

Larsen supports measures proposed by mayor London Breed that would allow police to use certain technology for a year before it’s scrutinized.
