SEC: Crypto CEO Predicts SEC Will Drop Charges Against Executives"},"content":{"rendered":"
The civil trial of the US Securities and Exchange Commission\u2019s (SEC) <\/span>case against Ripple<\/span><\/a> and its top executives, <\/span>Brad Garlinghouse<\/span><\/a> and Chris Larsen, is <\/span>set to commence<\/span><\/a> on April 23, 2024. However, the Founder of Dizer Capital, Yasin Mobarak, believes that the SEC will withdraw its charges against Garlinghouse and Larsen before then.<\/span><\/p>\n In a <\/span>tweet<\/span><\/a> shared on his X (formerly Twitter) platform, Mobarak stated that the reason for his prediction is that it is not in the SEC\u2019s interest to have \u201ca trial where their corruption can be exposed.\u201d He further stated that the Commission\u2019s \u201cagenda\u201d is bigger than these two executives.<\/span><\/p>\n Prediction: The SEC will withdraw charges against @bgarlinghouse<\/a> and @chrislarsensf<\/a> .<\/p>\n It is not in their interest to have a trial where their corruption can be exposed, not to mention their agenda is far bigger than just these two executives.

The Commission <\/span>alleged<\/span><\/a> that the executives structured and promoted the XRP sales to finance the company\u2019s business. Additionally, it accused both individuals of effecting \u201cpersonal unregistered sales of XRP totaling approximately $600 million.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Mobarak shares similar sentiments with pro-XRP legal expert Fred Rispoli, who <\/span>stated <\/span><\/a>that the SEC is unlikely to pursue a trial against them and outlined reasons for his assertion. One of the reasons he gave was that the SEC would not want a situation where its credibility is questioned, which he believes could happen if someone like the former SEC Director <\/span>Bill Hinman<\/span><\/a> was called to testify.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The SEC filing a motion for an <\/span>interlocutory appeal<\/span><\/a> was considered by many as a means to prolong the trial unnecessarily, which <\/span>Judge Analisa Torres<\/span><\/a> had reasoned in her order. Following the denial of this appeal, Mobarak believes that the SEC will now move to end this case quickly so it can appeal to the Court of Appeals and \u201ccontinue to sustain this cloud of uncertainty on the whole industry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In response to Mobarak\u2019s tweet, another X user <\/span>mentioned<\/span><\/a> that it would be surprising if the SEC decided to drop the charges against Ripple\u2019s executives \u201cwithout some incentive from Ripple given to them.\u201d Such an incentive would likely relate to the crypto firm agreeing to a form of settlement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This is something that Rispoli had suggested when he <\/span>said<\/span><\/a> that the SEC didn\u2019t intend to maintain a suit against Garlinghouse and Larsen but simply wanted to pressure the company into a \u201cweak settlement.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, it is unlikely that Ripple is willing to reach any form of settlement with the Commission as Ripple\u2019s President Monica Lang <\/span>asserted<\/span><\/a> that her company intends to see the case \u201call the way through.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhy The SEC Will Drop Charges Against Ripple Founders<\/h2>\n
