Ripple vs SEC: Both Parties Move to Extend the Discovery Deadline as Settlement Lingered

Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission have filed a joint motion to require federal judge Analisa Torres to extend the current deadline for discovery to November 12th.

The extension is intended to remove CEO Brad Garlinghouse and co-founder Chris Larsen, the two managing directors of the company, they have been well received on this cryptocurrency case.

District Judge Sarah Netburn approved the SEC’s motion to extend the pre-trial investigation period by two months to October 15, as reported by Fxcryptonews. However, it now appears that experts have determined that it will be delayed for almost a month.

No Hope of SettlementĀ 

Connecticut defense lawyer James K. Filan, who has been closely following the Ripple case, believes the recent motion shows the settlement is not on the table:

In my experience, anyone who thinks the case will be resolved soon should reconsider it.

Judge Torres is still to rule on the Ripple executives’ motion to dismiss the case and the XRP owner’s motion for intervention.

There are ongoing investigative disputes as well, and the court recently arranged a new conference call.
