Ripple’s Legal Battle: SEC Attorneys Step Down

Attorney Guerrier’s withdrawal was granted by Judge Analisa Torres, while Best’s withdrawal was also approved due to medical leave. The U.S regulator was then granted permission to add two attorneys to its legal team namely Marc J. Jones and Peter Bryan Moores. Moreover, Attorney Michael A. Schuman was approved for Ripple’s Chief Executive Officer Brad Garlinghouse on this same day.

Interpretations of Lawyers‘ Exits
