Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty responds sharply to comments made by U.S SEC Chairman Gary Gensler. The SEC chair, in a recent address, echoed the first Chair of the SEC, Joseph P. Kennedy, who emphasized the agency’s role as both a partner to honest businesses and a prosecutor of wrongdoing.

On top of all that, Gensler included several quotations from notable people. The event was the 2023 Securities Enforcement Forum, where the speech was given.

Alderoty saw the comments shortly after the speech was posted on the social media platforms. Ripple’s CLO swiftly responded to the speech and comments by stating that Ripple’s case was prejudged.

Ripple’s CLO seems to have emphasized the underlying reality of the current legal issue, in contrast to Gensler’s comments. There have been rising tensions between the U.S SEC and the crypto sector, which this criticism reflects.
