> The founders have free reign on their 20 billion XRP, but I don't see why they would ever use it to crash the price.

Profit motive?

Why kill the goose that lays the egg? I mean, if XRP is on its way out then sure, they'll add fuel to the fire, but crashing the price is counterproductive. If they really wanted to cash out and they were smart, they would drip it over time so as not to eat up the market orders on the buy side.
