SEC Attorneys Step Down

Three lawyers identified as Pascale Guerrier, Richard Best, and Robert MacDonald Moye representing the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have withdrawn from the lawsuit with Ripple Labs and its executives. According to an August 23 court initial filing, Attorney Guerrier requested permission for him to be dismissed from the case. The letter claimed that Attorney Guerrier “is no longer participating in this matter” and in no time, the motion was granted by Judge Analisa Torres, the judge presiding over the lawsuit. Later the same day, another motion was filed to remove Richard Best and Robert MacDonald Moye from the proceedings. Unlike Best who immediately received approval on grounds of medical leave, Moye’s withdrawal is still pending.
