Cryptocurrency experts have boldly predicted the legal battle between the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple, the company behind XRP. 

There’s an insider talk that the SEC might drop its charges against key figures at Ripple, including CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Chairman Chris Larsen. 

Yasin Mobarak Says SEC Likely to Withdraw Charges Against Ripple Execs

The SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit has been making waves in the cryptocurrency world. The main issue is that the SEC says Larsen and Garlinghouse were careless in letting Ripple sell XRP without following the rules. The trial for this critical case begins on April 23, 2024, after the SEC’s appeal request was turned down.

Eventually, Yasin Mobarak, Founder of Dizer Capital, tweeted yesterday that SEC might eventually decide not to continue with its charges against Larsen and Garlinghouse.

He thinks the SEC has bigger plans in this lawsuit than just these two Ripple leaders. He said dropping charges against Larsen and Garlinghouse would let the SEC end the case early and file a bigger appeal with the Second Circuit.

Potential Revealing of SEC Secrets

It’s important to note that Mobarak has discussed how the trial might never happen. This came up when Steven Nerayoff underlined the SEC’s past dealings with Ethereum, especially during the early ETH sales. 

Mobarak hinted that if the SEC goes ahead with the trial, Ripple might bring in Steven Nerayoff to share more details about the allegations.

Swift Response From XRP Community.

In the future, the XRP community quickly reacted to Mobarak’s daring prediction. Many people in the community have doubts about the SEC dropping charges against Garlinghouse and Larsen. 

One of the big XRP voices, Sherrie, is among those who aren’t convinced. She thinks that if the SEC does drop the charges, Ripple would probably have to give up something in return, making it unlikely.

Mobarak’s predictions have added another layer of mystery to an already complicated case as the legal showdown between the SEC and Ripple keeps going.
