SEC was asking Billions in penalties. Court ruled $125 mil.
CONCLUSION
The SEC’s motion for remedies and the entry of final judgment is GRANTED IN PART
and DENIED IN PART. The Court shall enter a final judgment enjoining Ripple from further violations of the securities laws and imposing a civil penalty of $125,035,150
No disgorgement, No fraud or misappropriation.
XRP is Not a Security.
Court also rejected SEC's claim:
The SEC suggests that each of Ripple’s “1,700 relevant contracts” constitutes a
separate violation
And there the "17" number again.
If you were a Democrat or RINO in Congress you would have sent a letter to the judge demanding to know how he was going to rule and then made some stock purchases based on the reply.
