Its extremely frustrating to deal with people who aren’t attorneys who have done their own google legal research, telling me that I’m wrong regarding laws just because they don’t like what I have to say. I don’t come into your office and tell you you’re doing your job wrong

Update on SEC & JP Morgan action. As a reminder, JP Morgan “accidentally” deleted 47 million banking records while in the middle of multiple civil securities violation actions. Result: $4 million dollar fine My take: this could be an honest mistake, but I wouldn’t be surprised…

As we all know, Ripple, Chris Larsen, and Brad Garlinghouse will be replying soon to the lawsuit filed by the SEC alleging the wrongful sale of unregistered securities (XRP). Here is a blog where I state my anticipation of what their replies may look like:

Interesting. There’s a lot going on here. It looks like the SEC is making efforts to search all internal BTC, ETH, and XRP documents, but seems to be doing so slower than molasses. Doesn’t surprise me having worked in a gov’t entity that things are slow

A number of people have sent me DM's asking me why I'm so bullish on the possible appointment of Gary Gensler as Chairman of the SEC. First and foremost, it's important to note that not everything I tweet is about Ripple and XRP. I do believe that he is the right person 1/

Something I learned about @coinbase that I didn’t know that increases my respect for them is that they acquired a broker-dealer license and it remains dormant. Many companies in the blockchain space pretend like they are trying to be compliant.

Stablecoins are not securities. Some may be, but treating them all the same would be foolish and dishonest. The Token Taxonomy Act would provide necessary legal clarity. Congress must take action to allow #FinTech to flourish in America.

For all the shit that the SEC gets, there really is not enough pressure on Congress for absolutely and unequivocally failing to establish regulations. I was screaming about this in 2019 and im still screaming about it today. Congress could easily end this charade
