 Cryptocurrency project DEBT Box has argued that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s request to dismiss its existing case is an attempt to gain special treatment in federal courts against the legal entities it regulates.&nbsp;
</div>
In a court <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://www.law360.com/account/login?return_url=%2Faccount%2Flogin" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">filing submitted to the Utah federal court</a>, the crypto project requested that the court reject the U.S. SEC’s motion to dismiss the enforcement action against it.&nbsp;
DEBT Box argued that the SEC’s motion is only a strategic manoeuvre to evade potential sanctions and a permanent dismissal because of its purported misconduct.&nbsp;
The securities watchdog had <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.utd.141167/gov.uscourts.utd.141167.259.0.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">filed a motion</a> in January 2024 to dismiss a lawsuit it filed against the crypto project in August 2023. The regulator based its request on the grounds that it had to review the evidence in the case and clarify the factors that might have caused its attorneys to initially make false claims in court. This SEC’s filing follows one month after it <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.utd.141167/gov.uscourts.utd.141167.233.0.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">acknowledged </a>that its attorneys made incorrect statements to the court during earlier hearings on the case.&nbsp;
The SEC’s motion was met with strong resistance from the defendant’s legal representatives, as they argued that the federal agency’s eagerness to dismiss the case without prejudice indicates its strategic move to evade probable sanctions and possibly result in a revised version of the enforcement action without misconduct accusations.&nbsp;
In addition, DEBT Box attorneys highlighted the SEC’s discontentment with promises to restructure teams or provide more ethics training when organizations are charged with misleading investors.&nbsp;
Several crypto influencers, including attorney John Deaton, have criticized the SEC’s decision to dismiss the lawsuit against DEBT Box. Deaton <a href="https://defi-planet.com/2024/01/pro-xrp-lawyer-john-deaton-criticizes-the-us-sec-over-debt-box-case-withdrawal/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">argued </a>that the agency’s decision to dismiss the case was a sham and showed poor leadership from the agency. He also pointed out that this is part of the agency’s inconsistencies in its legal proceedings, citing a U.S. federal judge who has previously criticized the SEC for not being faithful to United States law in Ripple’s case.
