Reminder – the request for attraction (even when granted) doesn’t change the truth that XRP is just not a safety. That’s not up for debate / trial. However the SEC continues to say that Chris and I acted recklessly in believing that XRP is just not a safety. That’s utter nonsense. 1/2 https://t.co/pG7z0jsjlt
