SEC frames allegation against XRP lawyer

Attorney James Filan shared the heavily redacted letter filed by the SEC. It requested that Judge Torres to revoke the granted amici status to XRP holders. The letter also mentioned restricting John Deaton from participation am Fall.

According to the SEC, Deaton tried to jump into the lawsuit including seeking a writ of mandamus in another court on his own behalf. The commission highlighted that the lawyer’s Twitter feed and public statement, movants are XRP Investisseuren who believe that this case has dampened their profits from the token.

It mentioned that, back in October 2021, the court denied Movant’s motion to intervene and granted Movant’s amici status. This required them to seek the court’s leave to file an amicus brief. However, in denying the intervention, it was concluded that this will delay or prejudice the adjudication of the rights of both parties.

The watchdog proposed five reasons to deny the motion. One of them says that Movants do not propose briefings on legal issues. Instead, they are presenting arguments based on 3,252 form affidavits from XRP token holders.

Deaton slams US regulator

Reacting to the SEC’s filing, John Deaton said that the commission made the same nonsense argument with Judge Netburn. As per their theory, every individual selling XRP has violated Section 5. However, the exemptions only apply if XRP is a security.

He added that any person who has an intent to sell XRP can be considered an “issuer”. That’s why exchanges would not relist XRP if it is termed as a security, Deaton added that this is a sum zero game.
