Though the SEC may choose not to appeal the Aug. 7 decision, Ripple’s lawyers requested that 111% of the monetary judgment be placed into a bank account to obtain a stay.
The legal team defending Ripple Labs against a case filed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has requested to stay the monetary portion of an Aug. 7 judgment requiring the firm to pay $125 million.
In a Sept. 4 filing in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, Ripple’s lawyers said the SEC had agreed to a request to delay payment of the judgment after Sept. 6. The legal team proposed that Ripple place 111% of the judgment amount — roughly $139 million — into a bank account until 30 days “after the time to appeal expires or the resolution of any appeal.”
