The SEC has sought $2 billion in fines in its lawsuit against Ripple Labs over the sale of XRP cryptocurrency. Although James K. Filan has said that the documents will be made publicly available on March 26, the crypto community already knew about this through Ripple's Chief Legal Officer, X post by Stuart Alderoty .
Alderoty expressed Ripple's skepticism over the SEC's move. Alderoty stated, “As you will see when the SEC brief becomes public tomorrow, they ask the Judge to impose $2 billion in fines and penalties.
