Ripple vs SEC: Allegations of Unethical Tactics and Latest Developments

a year ago

The legal battle between Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been ongoing for several years. Starting in December 2020, it remains one of the most debated topics in the crypto space.

The SEC's Ethical Limits

Attorney John Deaton, who represents numerous XRP investors in the lawsuit, claims that the SEC is overstepping "ethical limits." He reported that the commission's attorneys "used aggressive discovery tactics, threatening and harassing Ripple's overseas customers."

The SEC attempted to subpoena all of Brad's, and his family's, personal financial records, including credit card statements. It was an attempt to bully and coerce Garlinghouse and Ripple into submitting to the powerful SEC.John Deaton

Has Ripple Won?

While the company has scored several partial court victories, a final resolution has yet to be seen. Last summer, Judge Analisa Torres ordered Ripple to pay a $125 million civil penalty for violating federal securities laws.

Changes in the SEC and Ripple's Future

Potential leadership changes in the SEC, such as the appointment of Paul Atkins as chairman instead of Gary Gensler, could favor Ripple. However, considering the complexity of the legal process, expectations remain tempered.

Ripple's lawsuit with the SEC continues to be one of the most intriguing topics in the crypto world. Upcoming changes in SEC leadership could influence the outcome, but the situation remains uncertain for now.
