I hadn't heard of this, but if it had a positive charge then it would definatly fall into the quantum realm. And be even more likely to attract electrons. |
From the wikipedia article on BHs (I've also read it elsewhere)

According to the "No Hair" theorem a black hole has only three independent physical properties: mass, charge and angular momentum.[17]

Since charge is one of the properties, I assume a BH can have a positive or negative charge.
