I don't buy this claim. Negative numeric values would break the backend in 99% of scenarios. I also don't really buy the claims he personally was involved in stealing the xrb. Bitgrail has existed for a while, and presumably the owner would have some interest in XRB, probably owning a substantial amount since it was worth nothing. Considering its meteoric rise, he probably became rich himself. So why try to steal 170 million dollars in a scam where you're bound to be accused of being suspect number 1?

I've been closing this very closely for a few months. I think he thought he could arbitrage and benefit from the increase in BTC's price and get away with it somehow. The market came crashing down, XRB got listed on Binance and Kucoin and a lot of shadiness happened right around the same time. I was expecting this "hack" to be announced and founder to exit-scam just based on his behaviour and actions he was taking. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he ended up in jail.
