Thanks James. Ripple reminding Judge Torres the Upton case in which the Defendant’s fair notice defense was allowed is binding precedent but the recent case the SEC relies on isn’t and is totally different on the facts and evidence anyway.

We warned about the 'securities' dangers inherent in Ethereum 2.0 a year ago.

That the lawsuit would come from the NYAG came out of left field. It must've been in a New York state of mind...

The world is (appropriately) outraged by SBF and FTX's fraud, but when Wells Fargo mismanages billions in customer funds as well, it's barely a blip on the radar. Food for thought....

BREAKING: Republican lawmaker claims SEC chair was coordinating with #FTX 'to obtain regulatory monopoly'

For those of you keeping count, 12 (!) amici briefs submitted.  It’s unprecedented (I’m told) to have this happen at this stage. They each explain - in their own unique way - the irreparable harm the SEC will do to every facet of the US crypto economy if it gets its way.

Great article from Professor BlockProf🛡 arguing (among other things) that that the SEC is improperly using Howey as a whip to drive the crypto cattle into registration

Brad G. tweeted the following:

'The SEC wants you to think that it cares about disclosure, transparency and clarity. Don’t believe them. When the truth eventually comes out, the shamefulness of their behavior here will shock you.'

Wow.

House of XRP Cowboy.Crypto Mr. Intuitive 🏴‍☠️ There is no regard for those companies and people that this approach has harmed.

We all should be outraged.

The SEC has clearly forgotten that the government works for the people.

House of XRP Cowboy.Crypto Mr. Intuitive 🏴‍☠️ My outrage has grown as the litigation has unfolded.

There is no recourse, there is no consequence to those that brought this lawsuit. The SEC’s pursuit of a policy objective isn’t about “a faithful allegiance to the law”. It’s about power.

I am happy to announce that I was 100% absolutely wrong as to what Judge Torres would (should) do as she grants both requests to file Amicus Briefs.

And both motions were granted without comment as to the SEC's objections.

P.S. Where is James K. Filan 🇺🇸🇮🇪 ?
