According to Deaton, the SEC lacks evidence to support its theory that secondary market sales are securities. He also disagrees with the notion that the SEC has the right to pursue unsupported new theories.

Ripple’s Lawyer Disagrees with SEC’s Claims on XRP Secondary Sales

Ripple’s lawyer, John Deaton, took to Twitter to express his disagreement with the SEC’s claims about XRP secondary sales. He challenged the SEC to provide a single example that proves the existence of an investment contract without any confidentiality or contact between a buyer and seller or supporter. According to Deaton, the SEC has failed to provide evidence to support its claims.

“Excellent 🧵although I’m certainly one of the lawyers discussing unnecessary issues. I don’t mind the comment b/c I agree w/it. Unfortunately, when the SEC takes the position that ‘The XRP traded, even in the secondary market…represents the investment contract’ one is forced to.”

Deaton argues that there is no evidence to support the SEC’s theory that secondary market sales are securities when considering all the laws. He also disagrees with those who claim that the SEC has the right to pursue unsupported new theories. According to Deaton, if the SEC is presenting new and unsupported theories, then the Fair Notice Defense should be applied.
