I currently own 0 $XRP fwiw nor have I charted it or tweeted about it in months. But I spoke to someone who works on securities cases like these and he basically said the outcome is “95% chance of settlement and Ripple continues on their way. I doubt they are going anywhere”

You can be mad all you want. But it won’t change the fact that crypto is decentralized and people will put their money in what they want to put it into. $XRP will have it’s time. But go with where the market wants to go in the meantime. Stop tweeting wack shit and tagging me LOL

SEC demands Ripple reveal legal advice Ripple received on XRP
Ripple Labs lawsuit just a day after a judge ruled to give Ripple access to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s internal documents on XRP, Bitcoin and Ether. According to a new legal filing, the SEC is now seeking a conference to ask the court to force Ripple to produce documents and testify regarding legal advice it received on whether “Ripple’s offers and sales of XRP were or would be subject to, and in compliance with, the federal securities laws.” Normally, the legal advice that attorneys provide to clients is protected from disclosure to third parties, including the government….But the SEC is saying it needs to know what legal advice Ripple received regarding the status of XRP under U.S. securities laws, as Ripple put that the legal advice at issue in Ripple’s own “fair notice” defense — and thus has “waived” its attorney-client privilege over that information.
