John Deaton, an attorney, and proponent of XRP has joined yet another lawsuit against Ripple Labs, a San Francisco-based payments startup. Deaton has submitted a motion that will allow him to file an amicus brief in the California lawsuit Zakinov v. Ripple Labs.
On behalf of 75,890 XRP holders from the United States and 143 other countries, Deaton, five other XRP holders, and SpendtheBits Inc., a business that has integrated XRPL, filed the motion.
Deaton, "Davacı, beş yıl önce yalnızca iki hafta boyunca XRP'ye sahip olduğundan, XRP'nin Bitcoin gibi merkezi olmayan olmadığını yanlış bir şekilde iddia ediyor" dedi.
The case is the merger of two different legal challenges, the first of which is a class-action lawsuit brought by lead plaintiff Bradley Sostack, a former XRP investor who alleges Ripple offered XRP in violation of California advertising rules and as an unregistered security.
