SEC Unclear Over Rules

According to the court filings, the defendants mentioned that the commission made a reference to an SEC Vs Commonwealth case. It is an out of the circuit, unpublished district court opinion which provides ‘additional authority” to reject the fair notice defense. However, it is not what the US SEC claims the opinion to be, asserted defendants.

The defendants’ response highlighted that there is no prima facie evidence that supports that the market participants lacked fair notice of an obligation to reveal economic details and conflict of interest that land under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

The letter didn’t mention any guidance provided by the US SEC, while, it presented a paid expert opinion who believes that the guidance did not require precise disclosures. It added that there huge number of factual evidence coming from the SEC’s own files and communication with several third parties which depict that market participants are unable to understand what is permitted or prohibited.Read More XRP Lawsuit News Here…
