It’s been revealed that the battle between the US SEC and Ripple continues. Check out the latest reports presented below.
According to the latest reports, the crypto attorney James K. Filan, who has been chronicling the SEC versus Ripple case since December 2020, shares with his 106,700 Twitter followers a copy of an SEC request to block drafts of a speech given by the agency’s former Director, William Hinman, from being made public.
As noted by the online publication the Daily Hodl, in a letter to US District Judge Analisa Torres written on behalf of the SEC, attorney Ladan F. Stewart requests permission to file a pair of briefs objecting to the recent decision by Judge Sarah Netburn compelling the SEC to turn over a draft of Hinman’s 2018 speech.
In 2018, Hinman delivered a speech stating that the leading smart contract platform Ethereum (ETH) was not a security.
“The SEC has requested permission to file a 30-page opening brief and a 10-page reply brief in support of the SEC’s Objections to Magistrate Judge Netburn’s ruling ordering the SEC to disclose the Hinman speech documents.”
He also said that “Ripple objects.”
