Oh, the crypto gods have a sense of humor, don’t they? In a tweet that’s more slapstick than blockchain, XRP Ledger developer Wietse Wind (aka the Crypto Wizard of Oz) shared a tale so absurd, it could’ve been written by yours truly. Picture this: a poor soul with $200,000 in XRP-yes, you heard that right, $200K!-gets locked out of his account faster than a Brooks film gets a sequel. Why? Because he accidentally created a “nested Multi Sign” setup. It’s like locking your keys in the car, but the car is a spaceship, and the keys are in another dimension.
On Aug. 15, 2025, this crypto Casanova DMs Wietse, sweating more than a villain in a Brooks comedy. “Help! I’ve nested myself into oblivion!” he cries. Turns out, he set up multisign for his multisign accounts, creating a crypto Catch-22. The XRP Ledger, ever the rule-follower, says, “Nope, not today!” Even with the secrets, the signatures are as useless as a screen door on a submarine.
Wietse, the hero we need but don’t deserve, points out that this isn’t a simple fix. “Code is law,” he says, channeling his inner Judge Dredd. The only solution? An amendment. Because in crypto, even bug fixes need a red carpet and a voting committee.

It is Aug 16, 2025. In my Twitter DM’s, a worried community member asks for help/advice.
He has $200k in XRP in an XRPL account, and he set up Multi Sign. Then he set up multi sign for the accounts he used for the initial Multi Sign. Unknowingly, he created a “nested Multi Sign”…

After brainstorming with the XRP Ledger’s brightest minds (and probably a few all-nighters fueled by cold pizza), Wietse whips up an amendment faster than I can say “It’s good to be the king.” This amendment, the crypto equivalent of a deus ex machina, allows for nested signatures. So, our $200K hero can finally access his funds-assuming the validators don’t decide to pull a “Springtime for Hitler.”
The Amendment: A Happy Ending or a Brooks Twist?
The nested multisign amendment is now in the rippled/XRPL code base, awaiting its moment of glory. If it gets 80% support for two weeks, it’s a done deal. And our locked-out user? He’ll be richer than a Brooks box office hit. But let’s be honest, in crypto, nothing’s certain-except laughter. So, grab your popcorn, folks. This show’s just getting started!
