WOW! OMG! LFG! IOEA!

I'm now aware of 7 of Ripple's expert witnesses. It's like looking at the 1992 Dream Team (which not only won gold, but massacred every opponent on the way there). Every one was meticulously chosen to address a highly specialized area of this case and...1/6
...specifically to avoid overlap with their "teammates" to avoid Daubert challenges. The foresight of the Ripple legal team is...inspiring. Every. Single. Box. Checked. And I still don't know the other 3 (but have some good ideas). But I can't tell #XRPCommunity about any...2/6
...of these new finds. Why? Please understand as an attorney licensed in multiple states, I took oaths to follow many ethical rules and I take those seriously--even though we know other attorneys, even government lawyers (especially gov attys?), do not. With the result...3/6
of a standing federal court order wrt confidentiality of expert identities, I believe there is a possibility (albeit a small one) I could be sanctioned by revealing this info and given my future plans and cases to be filed, I can't risk this. I sincerely apologize and hope...4/6
...you understand. And you likely only have to wait a week or two to find out when J. Torres (presumably) orders these motions to be made public. And no, I have not seen the motions myself. There are other goodies I found as well but can't comment on for the same reason. 5/6
It's killing me. But the future is bright for #XRP!!! It's only a matter of time!!! 6/6

Here we go on my thoughts on the RFA motion! TLDR is that SEC has nothing--NOTHING--to defeat FN defense which will play right into SEC losing on the security issue. 1/15
@Belisarius2020 @attorneyjeremy1 @JohnEDeaton1 @XRPArmyNews1 @JayVTheGreat @JTXRP_AGWJames
There are 3 types of written discovery: RFAs, NUIs and RFPs. RFAs (requests for admission) are important because admissions become undisputed facts—and failure to answer is deemed an admission. A party uses RFAs to force the other side to take a position. 2/15
No surprise, SEC trying to have it both ways. Not answering (not stating its position) by objecting. But its objections are ridiculous. SEC doesn’t know what the terms “market participant” “digital asset” “policy” “ether” and “bitcoin” mean? Give me an effing break. 3/15

Very interesting development in the Ripple case happened this past Thursday...in the civil case in Oakland. I keep telling you not to sleep on that one!
#XRP #XRPCommunity Lawyers would love to hear your thoughts...@FilanLaw @Belisarius2020 @JohnEDeaton1 @attorneyjeremy1 1/4
Wisely IMO, plaintiff's counsel is letting the SEC case play out to conserve time and money (you know, the opposite of what SEC is doing), but there was a big discovery dispute decision on 4/28. Plaintiffs want all discovery from SEC case handed to them by Ripple and Ripple...2/4
...objected bc of concerns discovery related to 3rd parties isn't for Ripple to decide. Links in last tweet, but Ripple says 28 3rd parties agreed, 15 have objected (9 of whom are current or former employees) and 4 haven't responded. Court ordered production but allowed 3rd...3/4

J. Torres order from @FilanLaw is great news and has changed my timeline estimates. Remember, litigation changes fast, so new facts = new evaluation. First, I love how J. Torres didn't rubber stamp the timeline proposed by the parties. I did not expect that at all. 1/5
Second, settlement before SJ has now increased to a 50% probability from 20% for me. Why? J. Torres ROCKETED up the expert witness motion deadline. It was proposed to be same as SJ schedule by parties. This is critical because expert testimony will account for 75% of how...2/5
...this lawsuit ends. With expert issues done before SJ, all parties will have a better understanding of their chances at SJ and, if necessary, trial. Crushing blows or victories on what a party's expert can testify to will significantly impact litigation strategy. 3/5

Update time: We’ve received an enormous number of responses from prospective class members interested in signing up for the class. The supportive comments in the emails are extremely encouraging so, again, thank you. 1/15
Nearly my entire attorney career has been dedicated to fighting for clients whose lives are devastated by terrible abuse and neglect. Here, we seek to establish a class of XRPL Network Users, which means those people are in the forefront of my mind at all waking hours. 2/15
Since the April 11 filing, there has been a lot going on behind the scenes that, unfortunately, I can’t fully discuss publicly due to attorney-client privilege issues and other attorney requirements and obligations. I apologize for this and recognize it is frustrating. 3/15

Second, very heartwarming to see some of you help defend against the trolls. While appreciated, please don't feel obligated. I am a litigator, and I've been through much, much worse battles than Twitter hate.
Third, HOMER and WILLY. Biggest VALID criticism to date. Let me say that those two names were much, much worse in the original draft! The names HOMER and WILLY match the respect level these two deserve, but I am going to amend the complaint to revert to CLAYTON and HINMAN...
...no sense walking into an easy motion to strike. The purpose of HOMER and WILLY has been conveyed. Keep emotions more in check--lesson learned. Fourth, this will be a major battle. If I were defense counsel, I would file a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss for failure to state...

@digitalassetbuy @DigPerspectives
Those within the ranks are intimately aware of the corruption within a government entity that USED TO BE founded on principles of justice, and protection of individual rights. We also know--only now--that so many insiders knew of the corruption; 2/20
@MarketsMickle @jungleincxrp
the graft; and the scheming that has created an all out assault on American and Global innovation in digital assets and blockchain technology. 3/20
