The tussle between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Ripple Labs continues, with parties now arguing over the penalty Ripple should pay the SEC for violating securities law in offering XRP to institutional investors.
Ripple argued the SEC violated the court deadline as it included an expert declaration in the remedies-related brief after the discovery deadline, filed in a motion to strike the declaration of&nbsp;Andrea Fox (Fox Declaration). The motion is crucial for Fox’s statement on whether <a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-vs-sec-news-lawyers-discloses-possible-verdict-in-expert-witness-motion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">institutional investors</a> suffered pecuniary harm.

Ripple filed its reply to the <a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-vs-sec-lawsuit-ripple-presses-court-to-dismiss-secs-expert-evidence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SEC’s</a> opposition in which the SEC claimed Fox Declaration is indeed a permissible summary evidence under the law and Fox just answered counsels’ questions on institutional buyers, pecuniary harm, and discounts to some institutional investors.
Pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan said, “I think Ripple will lose the motion.” He contends that the judge will accept Fox gave some expert evidence and ask Ripple’s lawyers to depose her.
He added that the SEC’s reply brief on remedies is the next important filing in the lawsuit. If the SEC agrees with Ripple’s belief that $10 million in penalties are fair due to <a href="https://coingape.com/pro-crypto-sarah-netburn-gets-nominated-as-district-judge-good-news-for-ripple/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Govil case</a> and other reasons, which is highly unlikely, negotiations can begin on penalties. If not, the parties will continue to argue over remedies. “Judges don’t accept offers made by a party” added Morgan.

Attorney Jeremy Hogan also believes Ripple will lose the motion and proceed to depose, saying “The hardest thing to do on CT is say that you think the SEC will win a motion.” He claims the judge will allow Ripple to depose her even if Court finds the witness is an “expert”.
