Kirk West, accused of stealing over $11 million in XRP from Nancy Jones, widow of country music legend George Jones, has filed a countersuit in Tennessee. West denies the theft allegations, claiming that the wealth was generated through "prudent crypto investments" during their relationship and should be shared. He was arrested last year for allegedly stealing approximately $400,000 in cash and over 5.5 million XRP, with the case also involving ETH, DOGE, SHIB, and XLM. Nancy Jones reported her Ledger hardware wallet was compromised, recovering about 5 million XRP, but 483,000 XRP, valued at over $1 million, remain missing. West's countersuit seeks a division of approximately $5 million in gold and silver assets and $1 million in cash, while also accusing Jones of fraud and defamation.
