A two year investigation that looked at their corporate conduct over 8 years and the @SEC_Enforcement couldn’t find any evidence to charge @bgarlinghouse @chrislarsensf or @Ripple with fraud.

But the SEC made sure it distracted people form their overreaching gov’t intrusion by
trying to divide the Crypto community by taking shots at Brad for selling some of his #XRP.

I tweeted below recently. They didn’t charge fraud because they couldn’t. So why do they want to know how they spend their money in a no fraud case?

To further divide and distract.
Maybe they can find a few extravagant purchases and then Leak it to the press so people talk about that nonsense instead of the SEC acting like Big Brother. If they can paint Brad and Chris in a bad light then people might believe they deserve it all.

I don’t know Brad or Chris
from Adam. They may be generous kind amazing humans or they may be jerks. Either way, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that our gov’t is acting like a totalitarian regime.

I want to know Bill Hinman’s & Clayton’s connections to #BTC and ETH, not how Brad or Chris spend money.

WHY DO WE FIGHT?

I’m sure dozens of critics and “legal experts” will comment on our motion to intervene in @SEC_Enforcement v. @Ripple and try to tear it down.

The Writ of Mandamus was always a long shot and could even be legally described as a Hail Mary. That’s not news.
Does that mean we don’t fight and try to win? Do we say to ourselves “the game’s over, I give up?” Or, do we say “I won’t quit until this game is over and throw the Hail Mary”?

Life and people will beat you down if you allow it. Trust me, I’ve been knocked down hard by life.
But there’s only one option: get up and fight back. I’ve always said that if you put me in a ring with @MikeTyson three things will definitely happen: 1) I will step forward; 2) I will get knocked the f** out; and 3) IF I wake up, on wobbly legs, I will try to step forward again.

NOTICE TO #XRPHOLDERS
&.
#XRPCOMMUNITY

REGARDING NAMES FOR CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST SEC

I can honestly say that I am more popular at the moment in the #XRPcommunity than I am at my own Law Firm.

As of this morning, I have received over TWO THOUSAND
emails and DMs from #XRPHolders who are wanting to join in the fight against the SEC.

The 2 Thousand number may very well double during the next few days.

I’m also aware that some of you are disappointed that I have not acknowledged or confirmed that I’ve received your emails.
I will. My staff has informed me that there is a more efficient method.

We have created a google form to ensure all participating #XRP holders will be included on the list and I will not mistakenly leave anyone off.

If you have already contacted my firm via email, you will be

CRYPTOCURRENCY AND DIGITAL ASSET HOLDERS PLEASE BE ADVISED

Today, I am launching CryptoLaw (crypto-law.us)  The new site is filled with information, news and analysis on key U.S. legal and regulatory developments for investors & digital asset holders.  

Many of you
have asked me if there is anything that you can do to support my efforts. First and foremost, I truly appreciate everyone of you that have made such generous offers to assist me.

If you could please check out CryptoLaw above and follow us on Twitter at @CryptoLawUS it would
make a significant contribution in generating attention to our cause. We launched today because of the confirmation hearing of Gary Gensler tomorrow. There is very little communication between the Digital Asset Industry and the law-makers that govern the industry.

It’s inevitable.

Anyone who truly believes in Digital Assets and what the space potentially represents for a revolutionary future should want #Bitcoin to succeed (even if you despise #BTC). #BTC has found it’s purpose.

It being considered the greatest
SOV today, a hedge against the debasement of fiat currency, and accepted as #DigitalGold, is officially the #Bitcoin purpose.

@rogerkver can definitely argue that #BTH is much closer to the Satoshi White Paper than #BTC

#BTC proponents argue that #BTC is better at being #gold
than #gold is at being #gold.

#XRP proponents argue that #XRP is better at being #BTC than #BTC is at being #BTC

But the more traditional money managers, that adopt the #Bitcoin Thesis, the more eyeballs look to other projects and other Digital Assets.

The @SEC_Enforcement is in utter disarray. As many know, Acting Chairwoman Alison Herren Lee published her directive that conditional settlement offers would no longer be considered when negotiating potential settlements. The next day, @HesterPeirce and Elad Roisman published
a letter publicly disagreeing with Herren Lee and arguing that conditional settlement offers are necessary in achieving fair and adequate resolutions.

Recently, the public received a Risk Alert published by the @SEC_News. For those that didn’t et a chance to review the Risk
Alert, I have included my scathing review. The bottom line is that Gary Gensler is, arguably, the most important SEC Chairman appointment in U.S. history. He is walking into a publicly divided Commission. His predecessor, Jay Clayton, dropped the most significant SEC enforcement

#XRPHOLDERS vs. U.S. SECURITIES & EXCHANGE COMMISSION

NOTICE OF PENDING LEGAL ACTION

#XRPCOMMUNITY PLEASE FORWARD TO ANY #XRPHOLDER WHO OWNS #XRP AND WISHES TO JOIN IN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT TO BE FILED AGAINST THE SEC

Please be advised that, after I file the lawsuit
I must demonstrate to the Court that I am able to notify the potential members of the class in order to have the case be certified as a class action lawsuit. Pursuant to the Federal Rules:

“The notice may be by one or more of the following: United States mail, electronic means,
or other appropriate means.”

One viable means today is the use of social media. Obviously, Twitter is not going to serve as the only means of communicating to potential members of the class action. But it definitely serves as a good starting point. There are other means
