thinlyspread 3,382 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I have to agree with Chervinsky over Hogan re: the SEC not acting sooner and exchanges asking the SEC. That's not really a "bombshell" or convincing legally speaking, which is all that counts (NOT our opinions/feelings/hopes). The "due process" stuff doesn't add up the way XRP fans want it to. The SEC was right not to say anything if there was an investigation pending. As Chervinsky (who gets a lot of unecessary hate from the embarassing "XRP army") calmly explains: Link to post Share on other sites

The SEC holds the upper hand in this case until the moment a settlement is reached that allows XRP to be relisted as a tradeable currency on exchanges. thinlyspread 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The same can be said for every single lawyer that has a connection in the crypto space. In particular; Mr Chervinksy is a BTC maxi. He might aswell come out and say out loud he wants Ripple and XRP to die. Link to post Share on other sites

In my opinion, the SEC has issued a certificate of poverty. In 2019, the SEC did not answer “Yes” to an anonymous exchange asking whether XRP is a security. What has changed between 2019 and December 2020? Nothing at all! And what did the SEC prompt exchanges to continue to allow the sale of XRP? Question after question. I'm curious what the SEC has to say. https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/ripple-vs-sec-pre-trial-conference-brings-out-a-bombshell/ Link to post Share on other sites

That's where Jake's argument doesn't make sense. His point is that it's a process, i's must be dotted and t's crossed, it's not as straightforward as we'd like to imagine. If there was any part of the process ongoing (seems there was), the SEC would not be able to comment until the litigation was brought (from what I understand he's saying) and that is right and proper process, legally speaking.

Yes, but I still think he's been reasonable and is entitled to a differing (and expert!) opinion, and has suffered a torrent of abuse form XRP maxis as a consequence! But most of his detractors just say nasty things and have zero or minimal legal background. I'll take his expertise of a random XRP guru any day! Plus, you have to admit.. he was kind of right all these years, warning about the possibility of SEC action. I'm not saying I side with the SEC in all things here... just saying, it's more nuanced than Good vs Evil and so on. Link to post Share on other sites

I've personally got most of the army blocked. I saw he's done the same. He was right not only concerning XRP, but almost all other tokens. Mostly saw him tweeting about that darn banksterscamcoin though. thinlyspread 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If they (SEC) lose or settle and Americans can freely and easily purchase and trade XRP again, then they will no longer have the upper hand. But until then, Ripple is piling up lawsuits to deal with, XRP is falling in market cap, and XRP is not easy to purchase as another round of stimmy checks get deposited to American accounts.

He's been by far the best reading on digital asset legal matters and not just on xrp. Way better than any of the bagholder alwyers. Jake really doesn't care how this lawsuit turns out either way, he doesn't have any personal interest in it and he's not biased. Of course to people who have sunk into XRP really far, anyone that is neutral will seem biased. The lawyers on both sides will have their PR faces on what they are tweeting and such to put on a facade of confidence. What happening in reality is often very different. Just like how Brad was confident that dozens of banks would be using XRP by the end of 2019 and five household names and such while in reality, he probably knew the chances of that were pretty low. The SEC, as a government agency just chooses not to comment for PR at all until its over. They did the same thing with telegram and Kin and they won both cases.
