A <a href="https://twitter.com/Marc_Fagel/status/1670893308267339776?s=20">Twitter</a> discussion has ignited a new wave of interest surrounding the Ripple v. SEC case, as connections between Nate Hinman, son of a former SEC functionary, and Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin's company come to light. The conspiracy theory, which previously targeted XRP and implicated regulators and Ethereum-associated organizations, has taken an intriguing turn.

Legal expert Marc Fagel, a former <a href="https://u.today/top-ripple-lawyer-suggests-sec-employee-bias">SEC</a> functionary, was sought out for his perspective on the matter. When asked about Nate Hinman's family conversations, Fagel declined to engage in what he deemed as intrusive speculation.
The former attorney, however, made a clear distinction between Hinman's alleged conflicts and questionable conduct, and the legal grounds for the SEC's enforcement action against Ripple. He cautioned against conflating the two and emphasized the need to differentiate the broader organization's work from individual actions.

XRP community members continued to argue that Hinman's actions could have influenced the investigation and litigation process. Fagel, dismissing such claims, pointed out that the enforcement attorneys and the commissioners responsible for pursuing the case were not Hinman's subordinates. He characterized the <a href="https://u.today/is-xrp-becoming-worlds-leading-platform-for-cbdcs">XRP</a> community's assertions as lazy excuse-making.

 There are apparently 23,000 tokens in existence. Do they need to bring cases against all of them before they can go after Ripple?— Marc Fagel (@Marc_Fagel) <a href="https://twitter.com/Marc_Fagel/status/1671008980850864131?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 20, 2023</a>

Regarding the possibility of the SEC investigating Ethereum, a law veteran acknowledged that there might have been a similar uproar among Ethereum supporters. Nonetheless, he asserted that this hypothetical scenario would have no bearing on the legal merits of the Enforcement Division's lawsuit against <a href="https://u.today/top-ripple-lawyer-suggests-sec-employee-bias">Ripple</a>.
