In a surprising twist to the ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), cryptocurrency journalist Eleanor Terrett has reported on a new petition that could influence the case.
The document, marked as “urgent,” calls for the submission of what it describes as “decisive evidence” in Ripple’s favor, emphasizing its significance for “the freedom of the American people.”
The petition was filed by Justin W. Keener, a private individual with no formal connection to the case but who claims to hold information of great importance.
Keener asserts that he possesses confidential data that could expose a troubling situation allegedly affecting the public for the past decade. He describes acquiring this information as almost miraculous.
Despite the bold claims, the petition does not specify the nature of the evidence or its potential impact on Ripple’s defense.
Terrett also uncovered that Keener himself recently faced legal issues, having been sued by the SEC for operating as an unregistered stock dealer. The court’s ruling required him to pay over $10 million in penalties.
Strategy, the business entity formerly known as MicroStrategy, recently revealed through legal filings that it has temporarily halted its Bitcoin acquisitions.
Satoshi Nakamoto, the elusive creator of Bitcoin, has seen his once-massive fortune take a significant hit.
After the departure of Gary Gensler from his role as SEC Chairman, the regulatory agency has taken a noticeably more lenient approach toward the cryptocurrency sector.
The Mantra blockchain network has launched a significant initiative with the introduction of a $108.88 million fund aimed at accelerating the adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi) and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization projects.
