Ripple vs SEC: Predlog svetovalca Brada Garlinghousea za pridobitev dokumentov Binance

A recent development in the XRP lawsuit saw Defendant Bradley Garlinghouse submit a Pismo of Request to the court, appealing to obtain Binance Holdings Limited documents from the Cayman Island authorities that are “relevant to the case and unobtainable through other means”.

Haaška konvencija

Tožbeni razlog je vložen v skladu s Haaško konvencijo z dne 18. marca 1970 o pridobivanju dokazov v tujini v civilnih ali gospodarskih zadevah. Tožnik uporablja Haaško konvencijo za zbiranje tujih dokumentov, ki »imajo edinstvene dokumente in informacije« o transakcijah XRP na tujih platformah za trgovanje z digitalnimi sredstvi, ki jih je SEC uporabil za vložitev tožbe zoper Garlinghouse.

Oddelek 5 SEC zakona o vrednostnih papirjih je lahko neveljaven

Ripple lawyers have filed for the motion to obtain against SEC’s claims under Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933. Sec alleged that Garlinghouse violated the referred act by selling 357 million units of XRP on “worldwide” digital asset trading platforms like Binance, to investors “all over the world”. However, Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 applies only to domestic sales and offers of securities, contradictory to SEC’s claims of global violation.

“As the SEC knows, Mr. Garlinghouse’s sales of XRP were overwhelmingly made on digital asset trading platforms outside of the United States […] the discovery that Mr. Garlinghouse seeks will be relevant to demonstrating that the offers and sales that the SEC challenges did not occur in this country and are not subject to the law that the SEC has invoked in this case.”, the letter navedla.

Predlog za razrešitev

Furthermore, the defendants have followed up their former request of predlog za razrešitev on grounds of SEC’s incapability of proving XRP’s domestic offers and sales made in the United States. With overwhelming foreign offers and sales alleged by the SEC itself, Ripple only needs approval for the motion to strengthen its plea to dismissal.

O XRP lawsuit has become one of the biggest cases in the history of crypto. Especially, after the SEC zameril its own, commissioners Hester Peirce and Elad Roisman’s comments on securities. SEC appears to be in a pickle with Ripple’s recent request, making SEC grounds for the lawsuit weaker and invalid.
