picrel made me laugh. lawyers are horrible people. much like politicians, the more i am forced to interact with them, the lower my opinion of them as a class grows.
whoever wrote this brief is better than the Keystone Kops-tier retards they used to have on the case, but their weakness for reductio ad absurdum will likely not endear the judge to their arguments.
>hurr durr Ripple is like a fisherman selling boozecome the Revoltuion, everyone who has ever passed the bar exam should be sentenced to at least a year in the fields.
i get the impression that both Ripple and SEC are maneuvering to give the judge a window to end the case by basing the penalty on the $$$ amount of sales in a given period (eg, pre-2020, or 2016-2021, or only sales to investors, or something like that).
much like the joke about the woman being a prostitute, it's already established how it will end, now they are negotiating.
(just like reading diplomatic statements or economic reports, reading court documents always makes me think of how all interactions are just rituals or games. people come up with sets of rules, often retarded, and then contort themselves into silly intellectual positions in order to follow them, to get anything done. seems like an awful lot of wasted time and effort but i guess i see why it's necessary. humans are weird, just hairless apes in suits trying to break out of their chrysalis and become angels)
