The SEC Seems Doomed to Lose

The popular US lawyer and Partner at Hogan & Hogan – Jeremy Hogan – pinpointed a few possibilities that might occur before the final resolution of the lengthy lawsuit between Ripple and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

In his view, the regulator’s chances to win the case have dropped since the company’s CEO – Brad Garlinghouse – and Executive Chairman – Chris Larsen – were cleared of all charges.

“The SEC dismissed the rest of the case, so there will be no trial next year. The facts have been set – nothing new or surprising will be coming out. Which means the Court will be issuing a Final Judgment (probably) sometime next year. Only Ripple needs to worry about that,” the attorney claimed.

According to him, the Commission’s best shot for a decisive victory is to delay the legal process, get through more hearings, and eventually reach another plead.
