  <p>“After two years of investigation, the completion of a discovery period that resulted in the taking of more than 20 depositions, and the exchange of over two million pages of documents and data, the SEC is evidentiarily no closer to proving that the Defendants did anything wrong.”</p> <cite>Terraform Labs filing</cite>

 <p>In addition, in its application, Terraform Labs asked the court to reject the opinions of the experts that the Commission brought in to substantiate its position.
