- Settlement rumors in the Ripple and SEC cases are dismissed by attorneys.
- Bill Morgan rejected leaks, emphasizing confidentiality in such matters.
- Jesse Hynes reiterated that Ripple has not yet definitively won.
The lawsuit between Ripple and the SEC, which has been contentious since December 2020, has yet to see a definitive outcome. However, recent speculation has sparked debates within the crypto community. In a recent development, the possibility of Ripple settling soon was rejected by legal experts.
Legal professionals decisively dismissed community participants evaluating the settlement possibilities in Ripple’s ongoing case. Even if such a settlement were to occur, it would likely be confidential, and until an official announcement is made, rumors should not be trusted.
Lawyer Bill Morgan emphasized that settlement negotiations are confidential and privileged, warning against giving credibility to circulating rumors. Similarly, Jesse Hynes, the founder of the Equity Crowdfunding platform Seedstarter, stressed the need not to trust such rumors.
People may not understand that settlement negotiations are confidential and subject to a form of privilege. Therefore, there is no hint of a settlement until there is suddenly a settlement. https://t.co/aOaluj3R56— bill morgan (@Belisarius2020) February 13, 2024
Jesse Hynes stated that there would be no leaks on such matters. He also mentioned that Ripple has yet to definitively win, indicating that there is still a possibility of Ripple losing. Despite Ripple declaring victory, the court has not yet made a decision, and the SEC still has an appeal pending.
Any rumors about a Ripple & SEC settlement are just nonsense if and until a settlement happens. This isn’t something that leaks and when settlement talks leak it’s often in some form of power play move for leverage. Don’t trust the nonsense— Jesse Hynes
