SEC v. Ripple: XRP's fate to be decided by trial, crypto lawyers agree

According to a recent statement by Evernode co-founder Scott Chamberlain, the likelihood of the Ripple-SEC case resolving through trial is even higher. He supported his argument by saying that Judge Torres’ refusal to let a key SEC witness testify as to why people were buying XRP led to conflicting expert testimony, which makes it difficult to issue a summary judgment. Chamberlain believes that it may be impossible to prove that people were purchasing XRP in anticipation of profit from Ripple's actions, and this could be fatal for the SEC. Crypto attorney John Deaton agreed with Chamberlain, claiming that the exclusion of the expert as a result of the judge's decision is fatal to the SEC's motion for summary judgment.

Ripple lawsuit: judge says SEC lawyers prioritize personal agenda over law

In a recent tweet, XRP holders' attorney John Deaton criticized the SEC while responding to the news about a judge approving bankrupt crypto lender Voyager to sell its assets to Binance in a $1.3 billion deal, rejecting the objections of the regulating agency. In Deaton’s opinion, this ruling is another example of a federal judge deciding the SEC's arguments are completely without merit. Deaton proceeded by giving two examples concerning the Ripple case. First, he said that a federal judge, in a written ruling, literally stated that SEC lawyers were being hypocrites and that they lacked faithful allegiance to the law. Second, the judge said that SEC lawyers were more interested in advancing their agenda than adhering to the law.
