Lawyer John Deaton, renowned for his representation of XRP token holders in the Ripple-Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuit, has officially entered the legal arena once again. Deaton submitted his Notice of Appearance as an Amicus Curiae in the LBRY lawsuit, further solidifying his commitment to the cryptocurrency community’s legal rights.

A notable move in the LBRY lawsuit

In a formal document filed on September 14, 2023, with the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, John Deaton formally announced his involvement as an Amicus Curiae in the LBRY lawsuit. This development comes as LBRY seeks to challenge a final judgment imposed on July 11, 2023, by the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. The judgment ordered LBRY to pay a civil penalty and prohibited the company from participating in unregistered offerings of crypto asset securities in the future.

John Deaton’s Notice of Appearance was submitted on behalf of Amicus Curiae Naomi Brockwell, the founder of Crypto Law. Crypto Law is a platform dedicated to providing insights and updates on legal and regulatory matters pertaining to cryptocurrencies in the United States, often in collaboration with Deaton himself. Deaton’s representation of Brockwell demonstrates his unwavering commitment to championing the interests of cryptocurrency enthusiasts and stakeholders.

Deaton’s ongoing commitment to cryptocurrency rights

John Deaton has gained recognition for his active involvement in legal proceedings and discussions surrounding cryptocurrency regulations and legal actions. His relentless pursuit of justice for XRP token holders in the SEC lawsuit underscored his dedication to the crypto community. John Deaton’s statement on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) encapsulates his resolute stance:

“Win, lose, or draw, we will be in the fight!”

LBRY’s legal battle 

LBRY, a blockchain-based content-sharing platform, found itself in the crosshairs of the United States SEC in March 2021. The SEC alleged that LBRY had unlawfully sold LBC tokens without registering them with the agency, a violation of the Securities Act of 1933. The legal dispute culminated in a final judgment in July 2023, which held LBRY liable for violating Section 5 of the aforementioned Act.

The outcome of the LBRY case was closely watched by the cryptocurrency community due to its potential implications for the broader crypto space. However, on July 14, 2023, U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres issued a summary judgment in favor of Ripple, the company behind XRP. Judge Torres ruled that the sale of XRP tokens to retail buyers did not constitute securities, marking a significant victory for Ripple and XRP token holders.

    TL;DR Breakdown CryptoUK has criticized the recent regulation in the cryptocurrency sector. The Treasury Select Committee has equated cryptocurrency investment and trading to gambling. The government has been urged to reconsider its position on cryptocurrency regulation by CryptoUK. The recent regulation in the cryptocurrency sector in the United Kingdom (UK) has faced criticism from an advocacy group. The group has disapproved of the U.K. Parliament Treasury Select Committee’s move, arguing that cryptocurrency should be regulated as gambling. CryptoUK has released a scathing statement opposing the conclusion reached by the Treasury Select Committee. The association labeled the Committee’s findings as “unhelpful, false, fundamentally flawed, and unsubstantiated.” CryptoUK further expressed dissatisfaction, asserting that the statement from the Committee failed to truly grasp the cryptocurrency industry’s essence, purpose, and immense potential. Challenging the government’s stance, Ian Taylor, a Board Advisor at CryptoUK, raised a thought-provoking question: Would the government be willing to disregard the substantial tax revenue, amounting to tens of millions of pounds, generated from the buying and selling of unbacked crypto assets?

  • US Department of Justice seeks return of FTX-linked political donations

    TL;DR Breakdown The Department of Justice (DOJ) has called for lawmakers to return political donations linked to FTX, a directive several congressional campaigns have followed. The move comes amid legal scrutiny around FTX’s bankruptcy and its founder Sam Bankman-Fried, prompting lawmakers to redistribute FTX-derived contributions. A new ripple in the political fundraising landscape has emerged as the Department of Justice (DOJ) urges lawmakers who received campaign contributions linked to the cryptocurrency exchange FTX to return the donations. Several Congressional campaigns, including Rep. Bob Latta, R-Ohio, and Lori Chavez-DeRemer, R-Ohio, have reportedly complied with the DOJ’s request. The move comes after substantial donations by Ryan Salame, former chief executive of FTX Global Markets, who contributed close to $23 million to candidates during the 2022 midterm election cycle. These funds were largely directed towards Republican candidates, with Bob Latta’s campaign receiving a hefty $2,900. In an unexpected move, these funds have now been voluntarily surrendered, intending to offer compensation for those defrauded, according to a spokesperson from Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s campaign. Reps. Marc Molinaro, R-N.Y., Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., and Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Penn., have…
