Bank of America / Ripple partnership reports “accurate but released too soon”

We already know that Bank of America has been unoficially trialling and working with RippleNet for a long time, as have Santander who were one of the first VC investors in Ripple. There have also been Bank of America employees listing Ripple related job profiles on their Linkedin. Now this week a Ripple press release went viral claiming to be an official Ripple press release announcing BOA joining RippleNet.

Apparently Ripple had asked a website and an advertisitng agency to pull the leaked press release. One XRP Community YouTuber DigitalNomadInvestor decided to contact the advertising agency to verify things. Having asked why they had to pull the press release ie. if the press release was untrue, the response the Ad Agency claimed was given from Ripple was not that it was untrue, just that it was “too soon”.

Do not take this as the gospel truth however. This could still all be fake news, forgeries, clever Bitcoin Maxi manipulation, etc.

So for the record, officially despite all rumours and all other evidence there is out there… Bank of America are NOT announced as an official RippleNet partner or customer. And since all these rumours broke, the whole cryptocurrency market has faced a severe sell off. So tread very carefully in this crazy manipulated market. Things could easily get a lot worse from here on in.

Interestingly according to another source which XRP Twin has just quoted on Twitter….
