SEC Agrees to Redact Two Ripple’s Documents
On 31st March 2021, a New York judge granted Ripple’s motion to temporarily seal four documents and ordered Ripple and the SEC to agree on Redactions by 2nd April.
Ripple’s lawyer was able to convince the judge to grant redactions in two emails. The first redaction is an email between Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and an unnamed person about the payment firm’s non-profit VC arm, Rippleworks. While the second redaction is an email between anonymous parties discussing the view of the public on XRP and Ripple’s dominance over it.
According to Ripple’s lawyer, Andrew Ceresney, there is no agreement yet over the remaining two documents, but he’s determined to redact them.
In a letter to the court, Andrew Ceresney wrote:
“All four documents are ‘discovery materials filed with the court in connection with the discovery-related disputes,’ and therefore not judicial documents and not entitled to a presumption of public access.”
