After surprise calendar change, Ripple lawsuit may close this year
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against Ripple The judge presiding over his case made an unexpected schedule change. James K. Filan, a lawyer who has been following the case closely, says Judge Torres is changing the litigation schedule, which was previously scheduled to enter 2023:
