Correction. A project totally unrelated to the current Ripple/XRP was called Ripple before bitcoin.
In August 2012, Jed McCaleb hired Chris Larsen and they approached Ryan Fugger with their digital currency idea. After discussions with McCaleb and long-standing members of the Ripple community, Fugger handed over the reins.
