Because these lawyers are Howey experts, they concluded that neither enforcement nor a cease-and-desist order should be issued, he said. If Ripple loses, Larsen will owe the SEC $450 million and Garlinghouse $150 million in disgorgement penalties. Deaton then stated with certainty that Garlinghouse and Larsen stand a better chance than the SEC of obtaining summary judgment in the ongoing case. He continued by saying that suing the two executives, Jay Calyton, Hinman, and Marc Berger did Ripple a huge job. These executives are not accused of any fraud, misrepresentation, or omission. The SEC typically wouldn’t sue individual executives in a non-fraud case. “This was personal and it was a stupid decision by the SEC. In March of 2021, I tweeted out that suing the 2 executives would prove to be a dumb decision because it placed a higher burden on the SEC to prove. Let’s be honest, this was hardball intimidation tactics by the SEC.” He also called the SEC a ‘bully’ and said that If they didn’t charge the two executives with aiding and abetting, the Hinman emails may never have been ordered to be turned over.
