SEC has made many attempts in recent months to frustrate release of emails
According Jeremy Hogan, the court ruling on the emails of former SEC official William Hinman may be coming soon. He cited the fact that upcoming motions to disbar expert witnesses could hasten the court’s decision on the Hinman documents.
Aside from this, Hogan expresses enthusiasm about Ripple’s motion to strike the expert report of Patrick Doody, who claimed to know the motivation for XRP holders in purchasing the asset.
As previously reported, Fox reporter Eleanor Terrett indicated that decisions regarding Hinman’s emails and the SEC’s motion to seal his opposition to the amici requests were imminent.
The SEC has made many attempts in recent months to frustrate the release of the emails that contained the draft of Hinman’s speech. After having its argument on deliberate process privilege (DPP) dismissed by the court, the agency is now attempting to convince the judge that the documents demanded by the defendants were protected by attorney-client privilege.
Following this, the SEC was asked to submit 10 documents to help the court make its decision, and in June, Judge Sarah Netburn held a conference call to review the release of the document.
As the XRP community waits for the court’s imminent decision on what may be the SEC’s last-ditch effort to keep the Hinman documents away from Ripple, observers are on the lookout for clues as to how the case might generally play out.
