Standard participants intro/welcome is now starting.
The judge has joined the conference call. We are about to start.
The judge has read all letters about the SEC using the MOU proccess to get information from overseas regulators.
@Ripple defense is starting. Saying that the SEC has abused the court process and has bypassed it. It was ok to use MOU before the lawsuit. The SEC is not a SUPERLITIGANT.
Defense asked multiple times for the SEC to stop, yet they continued. The defense kept requesting information from the SEC but they only just now provided information. The SEC use of MOU is one sided. The defense does not have a mechanism in justice like this.
Judge is saying that this problem RARELY comes up. Almost no previous cases where this has occurred. They are now talking about a previous cases where something a little similar like this occurred.
Defense: The SEC can force outside international regulators through a treaty to get information. The use of the US government to get information. This is not fair for the defense as they do not have this power.
Defense: This should be a LEVEL PLAYING FIELD. All rules from the court should be followed. All parties should abide by the same rules.
Defense: What the SEC is doing it totally outside federal court rules. We did not find out about this until an outside party told us the SEC was trying to get information from them. Had they known about this they could of followed rules from the court.
Defense: There is an ENTIRE overseas campaign to get information. This is not how our court system works.
Defense: Our clients already told the SEC about our overseas transactions, yet the SEC went outside the rules to get information without following rules of the court. They should follow the same rules that we do.
Defense: We ask that you order the SEC to follow the same rules as us and provide the information that they got from the MOU process.
Defense(2nd lawyer): They have bypassed the court rules by using the MOU process, and once they got that information they can skew it without following the rules. We have a subpoena in this court. The SEC has bypassed this completely.
Defense(2nd lawyer): We need to keep our discovery schedule on point as the SEC lawsuit has HEAVILY damaged XRP and Ripple. 3rd party, hedge fund, businesses using ripple have stopped. Now businesses not under US SEC regulations are now being affected with MOU.
Defense(2nd lawyer): The SEC kept secret their use of MOU from the court and defendants. They have to abide by the rules of the court.
Defense(2nd lawyer): We are trying to get information from our 3rd parties about what the SEC asked for but its difficult and slow. The court process should be followed.
SEC now talking: Says MOU is not a treaty. Says outside regulators do not have to give information. Talking about the a prev. case. Says that the defendants have not been prejudiced by these requests.
SEC: Says that defendants can simply write letters to outside regulators or exchanges if they wish to contact and get information from them.
SEC: Is now describing what the MOU process is. The SEC can contact outside regulators as per the MOU process. Says that any possible harm from this is non-existant. Says the SEC use of MOU is ok especially since the defense has use FOI requests.
