Rispoli 評估了 SEC 動議的潛在後果。他認為可能出現兩種情況：

Scenario 1: The court orders a lower penalty that is favorable to Ripple, leading to a settlement after the ruling.

Scenario 2: The court orders a substantial penalty, and Ripple appeals the ruling to the 2nd Circuit, potentially challenging the SEC's interpretation of what constitutes a security.

情境 2：法院下令處以巨額罰款，Ripple 向第二巡迴法院上訴該裁決，這可能會質疑 SEC 對證券組成的解釋。
