SEC Wants to Prevent Ripple from Searching Its Staff's Personal Devices

SEC seeks to prevent Ripple from searching its staff's personal gadgets

As reported by U.Today earlier, the SEC agency seeks a court order that would forbid Ripple from obtaining its internal communications and prevent it from accessing the personal gadgets of its commission staff.

The SEC insists that Ripple is making "new and broader claims" which exceed the limits allowed by the court order.

The regulatory agency accuses Ripple of "discovery gamesmanship" and harassment.

This started when the court had partly approved of Ripple accessing the SEC's documentation regarding Bitcoin and Ethereum's status as non-security assets.

But now, the SEC seeks a prohibition order to allow Ripple to work only with the SEC's external documents in this case.
