Pro XRP Lawyers Took a Jab at SEC’s Weak Arguments 

James Murphy, a pro XRP lawyer also known as MetaLawMan, believes that Judge Torres might reject the SEC’s proposed $2 billion fine against Ripple is seen as a significant win for XRP, indicating a bullish trend. Murphy questions the SEC’s argument that institutional investors suffered financial harm, challenging the validity of their request for disgorgement.

SEC’s Stance on disgorgement

The SEC justified disgorgement by citing Ripple’s alleged securities law violations, mostly linked to the selling of unregistered XRP tokens. The SEC claims an injunction is needed to avoid future violations because Ripple plans to distribute more unregistered crypto assets under its new corporate structure.
