Too bad nobody is going to discuss technical side of things. My 2 cents is that ultra scammer Jed McCaleb convinced the ripple ppl to attain a shitlload of money by trying to mix up blockchain a token and whatever cryptocrap and now ripple has a big problem because they are closely watched by the scc. And suddenly the whole public blockchain, global consensus stuff goes down the drain because of a big legal gap. So what's next? Centralize, kill the blockchain part and run a traditional company....but not before they went to court ofcourse
These old news you are focusing have been previously discussed at length here:

Correction: Peter Todd HAD a level of respectability.
He lost it completely on a poorly written report he wrote for R3. Shortly after that R3 kicked him out and some time later R3 announced an XRP trial...
I guess most bankers will listen and read the details of that trial conducted by R3 and in best case having a smile of compassion with Peter's report"
My conclusion: Much Buthurt
.. and how many bank are using BTC tech??? = zero
