Attorney Deaton dispels rumors claiming that the SEC vs. Ripple’s lawsuit was staged.
In a recent broadcast , Pro-XRP lawyer John E. Deaton dismissed widespread rumors claiming that the ongoing SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit was staged.
Deaton explained that if there were a “secret plot,” he and other 76K XRP investors would not have been involved in the case.
