Ripple vs. SEC: SEC Requests for the Deposition of Five Witnesses

In the ongoing SEC vs. Ripple (XRP) case, the Commission is now requesting that Judge Sarah Netburn depose five more witnesses, including former Ripple CFO Ron Will and former Xpring senior vice president Ethan Beard.

The Securities and Exchange Commission asserts that its increase in deposition requests spurs from the new development of evidence and “the sheer scale of Ripple’s unlawful XRP offering.”

Currently, ten active and former Ripple employees are to testify on several matters. The SEC is also making efforts to strong-arm Ripple into producing documents relating to its lobbying efforts.

In June 2020, Chris Giancarlo, a former chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, publicly asserted that XRP was not unregistered security. However, the SEC argued that Giancarlo was on Ripple’s payroll, noting that:

“Ripple relies on statements that it paid that official to make to support its litigation position…Since Ripple has put at issue its purported lack of ‘fair notice’ based on the beliefs of market participants, the SEC is entitled to test whether the supposed ‘confusion’ was bought and paid for by Ripple, as opposed to a reflection of genuine market sentiment.”

Additionally, the agency has requested access to the documents of five other custodians to obtain “all relevant internal and external documents.”
