Ripple Vs. SEC: Pro-XRP Lawyer Weighs In On Possibility Of An Immediate Appeal

In an interesting turn of events, the United States Securities and Exchange Securities (SEC) voluntarily dropped its case against Ripple executives Brad Garlinghouse and Christian Larsen on Thursday, October 19. While this move implies that the trial scheduled for April 2024 will no longer hold, the financial regulator is still pursuing other parts of the case against the payment company.

In the wake of the surprising dismissal, there has been a wide range of reactions from the crypto world, particularly the XRP community. John Deaton, a lawyer and popular XRP supporter, is the latest to offer an insight into the ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the SEC.

Will The SEC Bring An Immediate Appeal Against Ripple?

In a post on the X (formerly Twitter) platform, Deaton shared his opinion on the possibility of an immediate appeal by the SEC. This was in response to crypto trader Ran Neuner’s concerns about the recent dismissal of the case against Garlinghouse and Larsen.

Neuner had earlier implied that the Commission could appeal the Ripple case sooner, having dropped the charges against the Ripple executives. “Previously, they had to wait until the end of the case, but now that they dropped the case – THEY CAN APPEAL IMMEDIATELY,” he added.

In his post, Deaton partially agreed with the crypto trader, saying that a SEC appeal could come sooner because of the dismissal. However, contrary to Neuner’s stance, Deaton believes that the SEC can’t bring an appeal against Ripple immediately. 

“The penalty phase of the case must occur first”, the lawyer said, using the judgment decision in LBRY’s trial as a case study. Deaton explained:

The summary judgment decision in @LBRYcom was handed down on November 7, 2022. The final judgment that became appealable was entered on July 11, 2023 – EIGHT MONTHS after the ruling. The appeal was filed September 7, 2023.

Furthermore, Deaton highlighted the amount at stake in each case. In the LBRY case, the SEC initially wanted $23 million in fines but eventually settled with a $130,000 penalty negotiated over eight months.

The Ripple case, on the other hand, involves a more significant $770 million. Deaton contends that negotiation on such a colossal figure will likely take longer than eight months, meaning that an SEC appeal is expected no earlier than 2024. 

The SEC Will Not Give Up 

In his post, Deaton dispelled the notion that the SEC dropped the charges against the Ripple executives to fast-track an appeal process. The pro-XRP lawyer argued that the SEC dismissed the case because of its low chances of success. 

However, it appears the financial regulator will not be going down without a fight in its lawsuit against Ripple. According to Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terret, the SEC will continue to pursue other parts of the case, including the classification of all offers and sales of XRP as an investment scheme.

At the same time, the dismissal of the case against Garlinghouse and Larsen has sparked talks of a potential settlement between the SEC and Ripple.

$3 Million Stolen In ‘Kraken’ Crypto Con

The surge in online scams has drawn heightened regulatory attention towards the crypto industry. A recent case serves as a vivid reminder of the risks involved, where a Connecticut resident became a victim of a significant scam, losing more than $3 million to individuals falsely purporting to be associated with Kraken, a well-known cryptocurrency exchange. The victim, who remains unnamed, was based in Westport and followed advice to transfer funds out of a retirement account, intending to reinvest the money in an account supposedly linked to Kraken. However, their decision led to more than $3 million swiftly disappearing into crypto wallets they could not access. Recovery Of Stolen Crypto Funds Fortunately, the victim sought help from law enforcement, and local detectives, collaborating with the state’s Organized Crime Task Force, launched an investigation. This diligent effort enabled them to trace the transactions and freeze accounts involved in the scam. While they managed to r...

Space loves AI, AI doesn’t love Space

Space-related applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning are often confined to the ground because moving AI onboard satellites, while promising, is significantly more difficult. “Running AI in space is like running a marathon on the moon — impressive if achieved, but limited by the environment,” said Sylvester Kaczmarek, chief technology officer at OrbiSky Systems, a London startup focused on AI edge operations. Advanced processors are power hungry, meaning satellites with onboard AI require large solar panels and extra batteries. Plus, “radiation in space can fry electronics,” Kaczmarek said. Power management is another problem. Many AI devices require very high currents at low voltages. “The demands that AI devices place on power management are new to the space industry,” said Bert Vermeire, Voyager Space chief technology officer. “There are no good solutions with space heritage and it is difficult to identify efficient and small form factor power and manageme...
