There's no mystery here. It's a weird edge case that the code was not designed to handle. It's been fixed.
— David "JoelKatz" Schwartz (@JoelKatz) May 4, 2025Amid the growing concerns, Ripple’s CTO, David Schwartz, who is also the architect of XRP Ledger, stepped in to clarify. He explained the issue wasn’t intentional or malicious but rather a rare edge case the system wasn’t set up to handle.
