XRP gains edge in security status debate, Pro-Ripple lawyer calls out SEC's inconsistencies XRPArmy XRPCommunity $XRP XRPHolders RippleXRP
, who is also XRP holders' attorney in the Ripple-SEC lawsuit, has blasted the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for the inconsistencies in its defense concerning the ongoing Ripple lawsuit.
"Let's not forget the SEC's schizophrenic theory regarding what constitutes the common enterprise in the case," John Deaton tweeted. Deaton stated that, at first, the SEC claimed Ripple was the"common enterprise." Then Ripple forced the SEC to concede that XRP holders receive no interest in the firm by owning XRP tokens.
The SEC then shifted its theory and said the entire XRP ecosystem constituted the common enterprise, including all XRP holders in the world, all the exchanges that list XRP and all the vendors or companies that accept XRP as a form of payment.He continued that for the SEC to try and prove such a ridiculously overboard claim, it intended to rely on an expert witness who testified that all XRP holders must rely on Ripple. The good news is that this expert witness was excluded by the judge.
Instead of conceding, the SEC, once again, shifted its common enterprise theory, abandoning its earlier claims in favor of a new theory: XRP itself represents the common enterprise. Deaton calls this"a schizophrenic defense."“The Commission, on the other hand, does not require vertical or horizontal commonality per se, nor does it view a"common enterprise" as a distinct element of the term"investment contract.
