Marc Fagel, a legal expert and former SEC director in San Francisco, has attracted attention with his recent Ripple statements. Fagel made headlines with an important comment on the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple, a cross-payment provider that uses XRP.
SEC missed the deadline in the Riple war!
As you have been following fromKriptokoin.com, the legal battle between the regulator and the crypto company has reached the appeal stage. Moreover, the deadline for filing an appeal passed last week. The SEC filed a delayed appeal. So, that’s when the drama unfolded. In other words, the SEC missed the deadline.
Passions seem to have subsided today as the Second Circuit Court of Appeals issued a notice of default in the SEC v. Ripple case. Notably, the suddenly revealed document revealed that the court did not receive the Notice of Acceptance and Appearance from the appellant’s counsel. If they fail to file this document within 14 days, they may not be allowed to present oral arguments during the appeal unless the court allows it.
So is it all over? The twist continues!
Many in theXRP community perceived this as a rebuke to the SEC. Also, social networks were quickly flooded with exclamations of “game over”. But, surprisingly, the document has nothing to do with the regulator, but with Ripple. According to Fagel, it has nothing to do with the SEC. It is also directed at “respondent/appellant” Larsen, whose lawyer failed to file a timely appeal on the matter. This was later confirmed by another legal expert, Fred Rispoli. This time he said that Ripple failed to file a timely form. Fred Rispoli made the following statement on the matter:
This time Ripple failed to file a form on time. Not a big deal, but not the kind of thing you’re excited to see when you’re paying your legal team a collective $8,000 per hour.
