Jed McCaleb is not sued by the SEC

Unlike the other founder of the company, Chris Larsen, and its current chief Brad Garlinghouse (and Ripple Labs itself), McCaleb has not been included in the SEC lawsuit regarding illegal XRP sales.

The legal complaint was filed by the securities regulator in late December 2020 and there have been several pretrial discussions so far.

However, Ripple and the SEC have decided that a settlement will be unlikely in this case.
