Investment Banker Declarant has filed a response to Ripple’s opposition to the motion to redact his personal information from the declaration submitted in support of the SEC. The development was shared yesterday on Twitter by prominent Ripple Pro lawyer James K. Filan.

Investment Banker Declarant said Ripple did not provide any strong argument to overcome its “strong privacy and safety interests” in permitting the narrowly tailored redactions.

It claimed that although Ripple cited “voluntariness” as its lead argument, it still does not offer an objective basis for denying leave to redact. In addition, the Investment Banker noted that since the declarant works in an SEC-regulated entity, it is difficult to decline a request from the SEC.
