SEC Vs. Ripple: Deaton Warns XRP Holders Against Contacting Judge Torres 

Attorney Deaton advises XRP community members against contacting Judge Torres to expedite the SEC vs. Ripple ruling.  

Attorney John Deaton, the Managing Partner of the Deaton Law Firm, has issued a warning to XRP holders. In a recent tweet, attorney Deaton warned XRP holders against contacting Judge Analisa Torres, the presiding judge of the SEC v. Ripple lawsuit. 

He also warned XRP community members against contacting anyone associated with the case. According to Deaton, contacting the judge or anyone associated with the lawsuit will not bring any positive results. 

PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT THE JUDGE OR ANYONE ELSE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CASE. NO GOOD CAN COME FROM IT. https://t.co/6ql4Gnh1An

Deaton issued the warning after an XRP community member informed him that some enthusiasts plan to write letters to the judge. 

XRP Holders Impatient With Judge Torres’ Delay

It is worth noting that XRP community members have been impatient with the judge’s delay in issuing a summary judgment. Recall that both the SEC and Ripple completed their summary judgment briefings in December 2022. 

After six months, Judge Torres has still not issued her decision to put an end to the multi-year legal battle. As the judge delays the ruling, XRP enthusiasts have continued to express frustration across social media platforms.  

The delay has negatively impacted the price of XRP, thus causing frustration among enthusiasts. Over the weekend, an XRP enthusiast highlighted how the legal battle has negatively affected people’s lives both emotionally and physically.
