Ripple 挑戰 SEC 的補救措施，反對 8.76 億美元的返還和 1.98 億美元的罰款

Ripple Labs 對 SEC 要求返還 8.76 億美元的非法所得和 1.98 億美元的判決前利息的請求提出反對，並否認了這些指控。 Ripple 提出 1000 萬美元的民事罰款，並辯稱 SEC 未能確定未來違法行為或魯莽無視法律的可能性，Govil 禁止沒收非法所得，並且根據類似案件的先例，民事罰款應限制在 1000 萬美元以內。

Ripple Disputes SEC's Proposed Remedies in XRP Lawsuit

Ripple 對 SEC 在 XRP 訴訟中提出的補救措施提出異議

In a pivotal development in the long-running lawsuit between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple Labs, the embattled cryptocurrency company has filed an opposition to the SEC's motion for remedies and entry of final judgment.

美國證券交易委員會（SEC）和 Ripple Labs 之間的長期訴訟取得了關鍵進展，這家陷入困境的加密貨幣公司對 SEC 的補救措施和作出最終判決的動議提出了反對。

The SEC had sought $876,308,712 in disgorgement and $198,150,940 in prejudgment interest from Ripple. However, Ripple vehemently disputes these figures and has proposed a maximum penalty of $10 million instead.

SEC 已向 Ripple 尋求 876,308,712 美元的非法所得和 198,150,940 美元的判決前利息。然而，Ripple 強烈反對這些數字，並提出最高 1000 萬美元的罰款。

Ripple's Defense: Hostile Ignorance and Unproven Future Violations

Ripple 的辯護：敵意的無知和未經證實的未來違規行為

In its opposition brief, Ripple presents three primary arguments to counter the SEC's remedial requests:

Ripple 在其反對簡報中提出了三個主要論點來反駁 SEC 的補救要求：

1. Lack of Evidence for Future Violations: Ripple asserts that the SEC has failed to demonstrate a likelihood of future violations by the company. It argues that Ripple has taken significant steps to rectify past issues and has no intention of violating securities laws in the future.
2. Disproportionate Disgorgement: Ripple contends that the SEC's disgorgement request is excessive and unsupported by the evidence. It maintains that the SEC cannot show pecuniary harm to investors and that Ripple's legitimate business expenses should be deducted from any potential disgorgement.
3. Exorbitant Civil Penalty: Ripple argues that the SEC's proposed civil penalty of $876,308,712 is disproportionate to the company's alleged violations. It points to other digital asset cases where the SEC has imposed much lower penalties and argues that its actions should be consistent with precedent.

Ripple's Changed Conduct and Licenses

缺乏未來違規的證據：Ripple 聲稱 SEC 未能證明該公司未來違規的可能性。它認為 Ripple 已採取重大措施糾正過去的問題，並且無意在未來違反證券法。它堅持認為，SEC 不能證明對投資者造成了金錢損失，Ripple 的合法業務費用應從任何潛在的非法所得中扣除。的違規行為不成比例。它指出了其他數位資產案件，其中 SEC 施加的處罰要低得多，並認為其行動應與先例保持一致。

Ripple emphasizes that it has made significant changes to its XRP sales practices in response to the court's rulings. It has obtained licenses to sell XRP outside the United States and has revised its contracts to address potential legal issues.

Ripple 強調，為了回應法院的裁決，它已對其 XRP 銷售做法做出了重大改變。它已獲得在美國境外銷售 XRP 的許可，並修改了合約以解決潛在的法律問題。

SEC's Administrative Overreach

SEC 的行政越權

Ripple further accuses the SEC of administrative overreach by seeking an injunction based on mere speculation that the company may break the laws in the future. It argues that such an injunction would be punitive and would stifle innovation in the cryptocurrency industry.

Ripple 進一步指責 SEC 行政越權，僅僅因為該公司未來可能違法的猜測而尋求禁令。它認為這樣的禁令將是懲罰性的，並且會扼殺加密貨幣產業的創新。

Upcoming Proceedings

即將舉行的訴訟程序

The SEC is expected to file a reply brief under seal by May 6th. Letters supporting or opposing the sealing of details in the filings are due by May 20th. The closing bell for this protracted legal battle is anticipated in the near future, with the court issuing its final judgment potentially shaping the future of the XRP cryptocurrency and the regulatory landscape for digital assets.

SEC 預計將在 5 月 6 日之前提交密封的答覆簡報。支持或反對在文件中密封細節的信件須於 5 月 20 日之前提交。這場曠日持久的法律鬥爭預計將在不久的將來結束，法院發布的最終判決可能會影響 XRP 加密貨幣的未來和數位資產的監管格局。
