The plot thickens indeed.

Disagreements with a "business" usually points to money issues, fundamental issues, or personal issues. Wonder which one it is? Interesting stuff...

disagreements on who to bring on as ceo (or cto, audio is not clear). he starts talking about it at around 7:00 in the video.
I hear CEO. But I meant, is his beef with the person being taken on a personal level, fundamental level (the direction and that sort of thing), or does it impact his financial share in everything. I'm still unclear on that.

don't forget Jed's laptop was the one that got hacked revealing the admin pwd leading to the mtgox plunge to $0.001 over a period of about 15 min back in June 2011.

i tried to scrape up the video of that plunge but no success.  i remember being right there when it happened.  one of the most dramatic things i've ever seen realtime.

please post if you can find it by chance. thanks.

also, i was wondering more on what this secret bitcoin project be.  i mean it has to something new, but what? Huh

he finally noticed that ripple is dead.

Just like he noticed bitcoin was dead, selling below $1.00, before leaving Gox.

I'm still trying to figure out how people determine how many Ripples there are in existence.

Jed McCaleb, the creator of E-Donkey and the founder of one of the largest Bitcoin exchanges, Mt.Gox, dropped out of Ripple Labs (a company that he is also a co-founder) to 'spend his time looking into new things: man-made surf parks and artificial intelligence'. As was written in an article from Wired:  http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2013/09/jed_mccaleb/

But a video recently uploaded in YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ2DCKLHaQs&t=461) says otherwise. In the video, he mentioned that he left the company due to 'disagreements with someone brought on to be CEO'.  

So which is it really?  Maybe we will hear Jed McCaleb's side of the story in full in the near future.
