Whereas a new attorney is joining the team of Ripple, the independent agency of the United States is losing one of its key attorneys who will be saying goodbye to the legal team of the SEC very soon.

To provide some context, the lawsuit between these two entities was initially started on the 22nd of December when the SEC sued the blockchain tech payments firm and its executives, including Brad Garlinghouse and Chris Larsen, for conducting the alleged sale of unregistered securities to make a profit worth $1.3 billion and violating the securities act. Ripple and its native digital currency XRP had to undergo a lot of cause following this case. However, things for Ripple and XRP have cooled down too much extent for now.
