SEC argues recent court case weakens Ripple Labs’ ‘fair notice’ defense

In an April 11 letter to U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres — who is overseeing the SEC vs. Ripple Labs case — the SEC highlighted the judge’s opinion in a separate enforcement action it won against investment advisory firm Commonwealth Equity Services.

In that case, it was deemed that a longstanding court precedent provides sufficient “fair notice.”
