Prominent crypto community members have uncovered new allegations against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in its handling of <a href="https://coinedition.com/tag/ripple-xrp/">Ripple</a>’s case. The tweets drew lines to connect relationships between former SEC officials involved in Ripple’s lawsuit and a possible conflict of interest in handling the case. 
In particular, a post by Cowboy.Crypto on X (formerly Twitter) mentioned that former top SEC officials have continued working together after exiting the regulatory agency. Marc Berger, who charged Ripple, left the agency four months after filing a lawsuit against Ripple but now works at Simon Thacher, the same law firm as Bill Hinman, former SEC top official.
