What to make of it
Treat the occurrence of a Ripple escrow release on November 1 and the $626 million figure for a single 500-million XRP transaction as established; the disputed question of whether a second, matching transaction brought the total to 1 billion XRP ($1.25 billion) is not settled across these reports.
