Chris Larsen wires almost 500 mln XRP

A few days ago, Whale Alert tracked a mammoth-sized transaction in which former Ripple CEO Chris Larsen wired 499,999,979 XRP to an unregistered wallet.

Data from the Bithomp website showed that funds were headed to the Bitstamp exchange, which is Ripple's ODL corridor in Luxembourg.

However, Larsen clarified that a half billion XRP (half of what Ripple releases from its escrow on the first day of each month) was actually sent to New York Digital Investments Group (NYDIG).
