Pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton says the urge to protect the customers "isn't about crypto," but more so about protecting the people that want to "build a little wealth."
Pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton has fulfilled his pledge to support Coinbase customers by requesting to serve as a friend of the court in the exchange’s legal battle against the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
In an April 19 filing in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Deaton requested to represent 4,701 Coinbase customers as amicus counsel in the ongoing lawsuit that commenced in June 2023.
“I am admitted or otherwise authorized to practice in this court and I appear in this case as counsel for 4,701 Coinbase Customers,” the filing stated.
