SEC Seeks 1 Million Slack Messages from Ripple for XRP Litigation
“Underscoring the growing importance of instant-messaging and online chat rooms in the workplace, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has gone back to court in its lawsuit against Ripple Labs — this time, to demand access to more communications between Ripple employees on Slack, a popular chat and messaging application used by businesses,” reports Michelle Lim in Forkast.
“In a letter dated Aug. 9 to U.S. Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn, SEC attorney Jorge Tenreiro complained that a “massive quantity” of Slack data from Ripple was missing from discovery and that the SEC was entitled to see those messages.”
