Foresight News reports that Ryan Kim, a partner at the crypto investment firm Hashed, stated on X that in 2014, Ripple Labs sold XRP through a Ponzi scheme to 'aunties (Korean Ajummas),' when it was known as Ripple Market Korea, and these early investors may have made significant profits. There is a real XRP community in South Korea, which is why many Koreans are buying XRP.
