10 facts to get straight:

1) as an #XRPHolder, the SEC filed the case 🆚 @Ripple to protect me and my friends;

2) me and 6 friends filed a Writ asking the SEC to amend the Complaint limiting the allegations to only include claims against Ripple and how it offers and sells XRP;

3) the SEC opposed our Writ and refused to limit the charges only against Ripple;

4) 12,500 of my friends asked to intervene in the case because the SEC’s claims included secondary market sales by anyone - they said XRP is a security per se;

5) although the SEC filed the case to protect me and my friends, they objected and said we shouldn’t be heard in court:

6) the SEC got mad when we insisted on being heard so they personally attacked the Lawyer saying he promoted drug use and threatened violence 🆚 SEC folks;

7) the judge granted amicus status and allowed the violent drug promoting lawyer to participate in the case but we found out the SEC hired an expert to help protect us -

this expert is going to explain to the Court exactly why we purchased XRP, what we considered, what we read, and what we relied on before buying XRP;

8) when we asked could our lawyer read the report since it’s about us anyway, and since this expert was hired to protect us, there shouldn’t be an issue, but the SEC said no way and that if we ask to read it the SEC might need more time to prepare;

9) the 12,500 has turned into 67K and we asked the judge to let us be heard regarding the guy who is going to speak for us and tell the court exactly what we think;

10) the SEC asked for more time to write ✍️ and perfect the objection against us being heard on the topic of us;

I must admit, it is a unique form of protection.
