According to the SEC, the defendants in the Ripple case have consented to the “omnibus” or “large” motion, which would be limited to 120 pages. The only condition is that they are granted the same number of pages for their answer in opposition.
Those experts issued reports, including initial and/or rebuttal reports regarding numerous subject matters concerning this case, and which total over 500 pages, excluding exhibits.
With the addition of two knowledgeable Kellogg (NYSE:K) Hansen attorneys, Ripple has enhanced its legal team. In its lengthy legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, fintech startup Ripple will be represented by the recently hired attorneys Kylie Chiseul Kim and Clayton J. Masterman.

Jeremy states that it could be different with Ripple, as it has the money to fight. He adds that “things are looking pretty strong for them as we enter the last inning of the game.”
He also stated that there are chances that this case will settle because Ripple has an interest in doing an IPO when the case settles. In that case, Ripple has to register with the SEC.
