Ripple is being sued by the SEC for allegedly selling $1.3 billion of unregistered securities. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse says he's never gotten an apology from Gary Gensler. He also said that Vitalik Buterin has been on Twitter too much, and his comments are just BS. "The real crime here by Gensler and the SEC is a power play," Garlinghouse added.
Hollywood may be shut down, but one industry seems to be enjoying a surprising upswing: crypto. Kara interviewed Ripple co-founder and Executive Chairman Chris Larsen hours before what is being called a “landmark victory” – but, as Nayeema and Kara note, it’s not a clean victory. We discuss the Ripple case, whether the crypto winter is over, and why Larsen is investing heavily in everything from campaign donations to public interventions on crime in SF – but would rather “vomit blood from his eyeballs” than actually run for office.
