CryptoLaw founder attorney John E. Deaton has commented on the joint request filed by the SEC and Ripple regarding the filing of public, redacted versions of summary judgment materials and accompanying exhibits, including the drafts of William Hinman’s 2018 speech. Although the request covers the cross-motion for summary judgment, XRP community members were more concerned about the drafts of Hinman’s speech. Defense lawyer and former federal prosecutor James K. Filan previously disclosed that Hinman’s docs would be released publicly on June 6, 2023. However, the request for an extension has now shifted the deadline to June 13, 2023. Deaton believes that the documents are coming and will be made public, and he does not think Hinman’s documents would give birth to a settlement.
