XRP News: The crucial fight over the infamous Hinman Ethereum speech related documents and e-mails is only halfway done in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Vs Ripple Lawsuit. The commission has surrendered its assertion over the much debated documents.

Can US SEC Fight Back?

Attorney James Filan reported that Roslyn Layton, a Senior Contributor at Forbes, has filed an amended motion to intervene to petition the Court for access to the Hinman Speech Documents.

Ripple On Hinman Docs

To this Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer stated that after 18 months and 6 court orders, they finally gained the internal SEC emails and drafts of his infamous 2018 speech. However, he stated that they will remain confidential for now. Ripple’s CEO has already stated that the commission doesn’t care about disclosure, transparency and clarity.
