Best Outcomes For Ripple

Attorney John Deaton, an Amicus Curiae in the XRP Lawsuit in a series of Tweets highlighted where and how Ripple can secure a win against US SEC.

The foremost outcome for Ripple and other defendants would be Judge slamming the US SEC for its overreach and the overall behavior in the XRP lawsuit. However, Judge Sarah Netburn has stated that the commission lawyers are hypocrites and lacked faithful allegiance to the laws.
