Odaily Planet Daily News Andrew A. Kunsak of the law firm Sidley Austin LLP has been allowed to appear as an investment banker in the US SEC v. Ripple Labs case, which was heard by Judge Analisa Torres.
The bankers statement wanted to protect stakeholders from the SEC's appeal of the summary judgment ruling. Ripple objected to an investment banker statement from the same law firm, which sided with the SEC, raising concerns about the defendants. Meanwhile, Ripple chief legal officer Stuart Alderoty said the SEC is only seeking the court's permission to appeal, not the decision that XRP is a security. (Coin Pedia)
