Tožba XRP: Ripple se odzove na ponavljajoč se argument SEC "privilegiranih dokumentov"

The latest update in the XRP lawsuit saw Ripple file a pismo responding to the SEC’s brief regarding allegedly privileged documents that the SEC has redacted or withheld. Ripple has argued against SEC’s repetitive “privileged” stance to prevent discovery and review of evasive and responsive documents to the case. Ripple has asserted that the SEC continues to devote much of its response to arguing “targeted letter briefs on those documents” that the Court has already rejected on several occasions.

Pravna analiza XRP 2018

The case saw one of the most explosive pieces of information that were revealed by Ripple, which comprised of the plaintiff’s 2018 XRP analysis proving that the SEC’s manifold versions of the privileged argument do not stand. Ripple noted that an SEC division’s legal analysis of XRP was made available to “certain individuals at the SEC”, just a day before the controversial Hinman speech of 2018.

»Oddelek za finance podjetij SEC – oddelek, ki deluje ločeno od oddelka za izvrševanje – je napisal memorandum, ki vsebuje »pravno analizo XRP«. Ta memorandum je bil nato posredovan nekaterim posameznikom na SEC dan, preden je nekdanji direktor financ korporacije Bill Hinman imel govor, v katerem je javno razglasil, da Ether ni vrednostni papir.

Ripple further discredited the SEC’s logged privilege documents, specifically the XRP legal analysis under three claims. The defendants discard the attorney-client privilege argument by the SEC stating that the mentioned documents are not protected by work privilege as they are not working documents. According to Ripple, the documents in question were never part of the SEC’s investigative file, as the SEC now seems to assert. The defense notes that investigative documents are already covered by the SEC’s categorical privilege log, and unlike these documents, they would not have required any further logging.

"Že samo evidentiranje tega dokumenta namiguje, da ni bil del preiskovalnega spisa, in sproža vprašanja o tem, kaj je in zakaj je bil pripravljen."

Poleg tega avtor dokumentov pravne analize XRP ostaja anonimen, prav tako SEC ne razkrije časovnega okvira priprave. Edina razpoložljiva informacija o njem je, da je bil osnutek sestavljen pred govorom Hinmana leta 2018 in da ga je poslal urad glavnega svetovalca oddelka za korporativne finance.

Nazadnje, SEC ne zatrjuje, da je bil memorandum sestavljen po navodilih izvršilnega zagovornika, ki je bil v sodnem postopku, le da je bil poslan enemu izvršilnemu odvetniku – skupaj z devetimi drugimi osebami, ki niso v oddelku za izvršbo.

"Obstajajo vsi razlogi za domnevo, da je oddelek za finance korporacije preverjal status XRP v skladu z zakonodajo o vrednostnih papirjih, ne glede na to, ali bi oddelek za izvrševanje lahko priporočil ukrep Komisiji."
