"FYI: Yesterday, I'm one of your stores in PayaLebar, Singapore went to pay 75 US dollars to Cambodia, and you have requested $ 25 fee. 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.“
