Interesting. Easy to believe, sad to see, but no big surprise.
Of course the OpenCoin folks could just be smart and look for this sort of pattern before giving XRP away. Hopefully, my pattern doesn't look suspicious
But we also really can't expect the world to be a very fair place. Note that 40,000 XRP is just 1/250,000 of the overall 100 B XRP that exist, so unless there are a whole lot of very successful scammers out there, this would not be a big effect.
