You are in no Position to brag about the digital transfer of money. Actions show more than words. We’ll talk when you have your reduced massive Ego and the value of #XRP will recognize you.“
FYI ystrday I went to one of ur branches in PayaLebar, Singapore to transfer $75 to Cambodia & u asked for a $25 fee.
