Just imagine the outrage if a private citizen or Ripple had been instructed five times to turn over emails.
The SEC.

Instead, the spent their time defying the judge and protecting themselves.

Dear Mr. Gensler,
@GaryGensler
The actual clarity around crypto and XRP comes from the rest of the countries on planet Earth.
Pay attention.
You are on the wrong side of history.
You have a shot at greatness.
And, currently, you are blowing it.

The lack of clarity that has gone on in this industry
Yesterday, we heard it is clear
We can't keep saying it is clear then make it clear through enforcement.
If US wants to be a leader, then we need to provide that clarity and not act like there is clarity
You have a new crypto project, and you walk into the SEC, and you describe it in great detail, and you ask for guidance, and they [SEC] say we can't tell you, and you list it at your own peril.

There was no rational reason for the SEC to file the case against Ripple.
Ripple will be victorious.
This precedent-setting case law will be used to train future commissioners and attorneys who represent the SEC.

BREAKING: Ripple files Letter Motion to Compel the SEC to turn over notes regarding a 2018 meeting between Brad Garlinghouse and former Commissioner Roisman. The SEC refuses, claiming they are privileged.

It’s because the SEC has consistently refused to approve products that other G20 nations have approved.
Rep. Budd:
So, we’re behind the curve?
Brian Brooks:
Unquestionably
There is a lot of noncompliance in the crypto space. It undermines confidence when so many people have been hurt and all they can do is stand in line in the bankruptcy court. Further, this can make it hard for the good faith actors to compete.

You said with 50+ tokens, most are securities. Which ones?
Why did ETH + BTC get a free pass?
ETH many believe was an ICO?
Are you going to keep doing regulation through litigation?

@Ripple
will be paying money on the part of the case it lost; plus there isn’t a securities lawyer I’ve interviewed who thinks the part they won stands on appeal.
I recommend XRP over ETH and BTC.
With that said, at least BTC doesn’t have ridiculously high gas fees.
That alone would eliminate ETH.
But don’t worry.
ETH 2.0 should be out in another six years.
Rep Sherman is in lockstep with the SEC attorneys as mentioned in Magistrate Netburn’s most recent decision
“… the SEC is adopting its litigation positions to further its desired goal, and not out of a faithful allegiance to the law.”
Can I get a fact check on aisle 2, please? Rep Sherman, the US has not (in fact, no country has) determined XRP to be a security. When elected officials don’t understand that the mere filing of a case by the SEC doesn’t determine anything…it’s more than concerning.

The SEC keeps stepping in it.
According to the SEC, Garlinghouse and Larsen were supposed to know they had sold unregistered securities years ago.
Yet, two SEC Commissioners still do not know in July 2021 whether or not digital assets are securities due to the lack of clarity.

Quick question, Mr. Gensler.
Are your tweets considered official SEC correspondence, or will your tweets only reflect your personal opinions?
Jeff and I have discussed this.
Gensler also paid for the Alpha Bank hoax as Hillary’s treasurer.
They were attempting to take down a duly elected President.
Sounds like treason to me.
