 <p class="paragraph">With the case between the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple still waiting for its outcome, i.e., the decision on the amount of damages that the blockchain firm will have to pay over its XRP sales to institutions, the two sides continue to fire motions at each other.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">As it happens, Ripple’s legal team has filed a Motion to Strike new expert materials that the SEC has submitted in support of its Motion for Remedies and Entry of Final Judgement, in addition to filing its Opposition to this Motion, defense attorney James K. Filan shared on April 23.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Specifically, Filan, who is also a former federal prosecutor and popular commenter on the Ripple v. SEC case, has informed his followers about the motions in question in two posts on his X profile, alongside attaching the documents that detail these motions.</p>

 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-sec-sandbagging-the-case">SEC ‘sandbagging’ the case?</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">Indeed, according to the document of Ripple’s Motion to Strike the SEC’s new expert materials “in the form of a declaration and two supporting exhibits prepared by new expert witness Andrea Fox,” arguing that Fox’s declaration represents ill-timed “sandbagging”:&nbsp;</p>
 <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
  <p class="paragraph">“The SEC waited until the filing of its remedies motion to submit the Fox Declaration setting forth its remedies theories and calculations. (…) The SEC’s untimely submission is ‘precisely the type of ‘sandbagging’ that Rule 37 (c)(1) is designed to prevent. It should be struck.”</p>

 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ripple-opposes-the-remedies">Ripple opposes the remedies</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">Furthermore, in regard to Ripple’s Opposition to the SEC’s Motion for Remedies and Entry of Final Judgement, the document states that the regulator has failed to justify the likelihood of future violations or reckless disregard for the law, nor the necessity of an injunction, among other things.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">On top of that, Ripple’s team stressed that any civil penalty higher than $10 million total would be unfair and inappropriate, “taking both discretionary and comparative factors into account,” and that the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="court" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/court.html">court</a> should deny the SEC’s requests that exceed this amount.</p>
