As per the recent XRP Lawsuit update, Ripple spoke in favor of Terraform Labs, stating that the court should reject the settlement penalty imposed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The Ripple SEC settlement request is described as unreasonable. On June 12, the SEC demanded that Do Kwon, the founder of Terraform, pay 420 million in civil penalties and 3.58 billion in disgorgement. The entire value of the settlement is 4.47 billion. The request was made in regards to Kwon and his former company being accountable for misleading investors about their Bitcoin goods.
The court determined that Terraform Labs and Kwon were responsible for the deliberate and careless orchestration of one of the worst securities frauds in US history.
But as it turned out, the billion total sale of Terraform was very little represented by the SEC’s settlement demand—roughly 1.27%. Hence, the proposed settlement is irrational. In light of the SEC’s proposal for a significantly smaller settlement from more serious allegations, Ripple filed a notice of supplementary authority.
The crypto payments firm claims that the majority of the Commission’s civil penalties typically fall between 0.6% and 1.8%, with 1.8% representing the worst and cruel cases. As per this new Ripple vs SEC update, the penalty should not exceed $10M.
According to Ripple, Terraform Labs ought to fit neatly into this description. Many market experts disagree that the SEC is going too far in the penalty range when compared to the range that has been observed throughout time. According to Ripple, there are no claims of fraud in the Terraform Labs case, nor did institutional investors experience significant losses.
