Sodišče zavrača poskus SEC, da zapečati Hinmanove dokumente v zadevi SEC proti Ripple

• Sodišče je dokumente Hinman opredelilo kot sodne dokumente.
• SEC trdi, da bi moral biti Hinmanov dokument zapečaten.

Sodnica Analisa Torres je zavrnila predlog Komisije za vrednostne papirje in borzo ZDA, da zapečati dokumente Hinman v primeru Ripple proti SEC.

Glede na poročilo, the U.S. District Court has identified the Hinman documents as judicial documents. Judge Torres stated that the SEC moves to seal the Hinman speech documents, which reflect the non-public deliberations by SEC officials in connection with the former director of the SEC’s finance division, William Hinman’s June 2018 speech. So the court disagrees with sealing the Hinman documents.

However, the SEC argues that the document should be sealed. Because of the lack of relevance, these documents would be highly prejudicial to the SEC. The court also zavrnjena the SEC’s arguments and stated that they are judicial documents subject to a strong presumption of public access. 

This may add additional pressure on the SEC for a potential settlement, and it krepi Ripple’s fair notice defense.
