Judge Analisa Torres Denies SEC Motion for Interlocutory Appeal

Overnight, Judge Torres denied the SEC motion for interlocutory appeal. Defense attorney James Filan shared the court ruling, saying,

“BREAKING: Judge Torres has DENIED the SEC’s Motion to File an Interlocutory Appeal.”

Judge Torres was explicit on the matter of expectation of profits. The court ruling stated,

“The Court held that based on the totality of the circumstances in this case, including an examination of the facts, circumstances, and economic realities of the transactions, Ripple’s Programmatic Sales could not lead investors to reasonably expect profits from Ripple’s efforts.”

Judge Torres added,

“The Court also concluded that although the record may have demonstrated that “many Programmatic Buyers purchased XRP with an expectation of profit,” the SEC failed to provide evidence that such Programmatic Buyers’ “speculative motive derived from the entrepreneurial or managerial efforts of others.”

Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty had this to say about the court ruling,

“The Court’s July 13 ruling was, and remains, the law of the land. XRP is not a security.”

Amicus Curiae attorney John E. Deaton summed up the court ruling, saying,

“And let me add, my very quick perusal of her order is UNTOUCHABLE. And yes, evidence submitted by XRP holders make another appearance in this decision – in her findings of fact – that she relied on.”

Deaton added,

“She stated that she never said no digital asset could ever be a security sold on an exchange – just that XRP in this case wasn’t one and that even though some XRP acquirers purchase XRP for speculation – the SEC DIDN’T PROVE it was tied to the efforts of Ripple.”
