I don’t read anything into whether the case is listed on the website or not. As I told @ThinkingCrypto1 today, I don’t see a settlement within the next 30 days.

A source close to the Securities and Exchange Commission stated that Commissioner Hester “Crypto Mom” Peirce pointed out private concerns regarding SEC, that they may not witness the verdict they are thinking about.

?SCOOP: Turns out even staff at the @SECGov aren’t confident they will win the case against @Ripple. A source close to the SEC tells me @HesterPeirce has expressed privately she thinks the SEC will not get the outcome it’s looking for.

Judge Analisa Torres hasn’t ruled applications of individual defendants yet, to dismiss the case. If Chris Larsen and Brad Garlinghouse’s (individual defendants) dismissal requests are refused, XRP may seek extra discovery as per John Deaton.

Jeremy Hogan’s Prediction
