The SEC Releases Hinman Documents To Ripple, Musk Reacts

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has reacted to a new tweet by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse following the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)’s handover of the Hinman documents to the blockchain firm.

Brad Garlinghouse, in a terrifying and stern recent tweet, warns the esteemed public not to believe the SEC’s supposed idea of clarity, disclosure, and transparency. 

Elon Musk Supports Ripple and XRP

In a tweet on the 21st of October, Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple CEO, shared Ripple General Counsel Stuart Alderoty’s tweet that revealed the SEC has finally handed over the Hinman documents. 

The tweet revealed evidence that included the in-house SEC emails and drafts of former SEC Director Hinman’s 2018 speech that could confirm Ripple’s victory in the lawsuit.

The federal regulator insisted Ripple keep the document private for now. Ripple also congratulated the XRP community and others who contributed towards receiving documents after 18 months and six court orders.

Garlinghouse tweeted, “Don’t believe the SEC; they only want you to believe that they truly care about clarity, transparency, and disclosure. The real fact will soon be revealed. Their lousy attitude will be exposed in the open.”
