Ripple attorney offers further argument on why SEC is wrong about XRP

In yesterday’s Twitter thread, crypto lawyer John Deaton explained why the SEC’s arguments can bring Ripple to victory in its current lawsuit over the XRP status. According to Deaton, the regulator’s claims that XRP is a security prove that the Howey test has no simple definition. Also, per 3,000 amicus briefs submitted to the court, first-time XRP buyers did not even know Ripple Labs existed or had any influence with the coin. Deaton then added that when the SEC hired an expert to testify against XRP, who attempted to call the XRP community a "common enterprise," he did not interview any XRP holder, and the SEC did not include the expert's position in its summary judgment.
