Ripple CEO’s Response to SEC Chair’s Jail Threat Goes Viral
In a recent interview at the Bloomberg Investment Summit, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler sparked controversy by suggesting that many crypto executives have either been incarcerated, are on the verge of imprisonment, or are awaiting extradition. His remarks drew strong criticism from leaders in the crypto industry.
Ripple CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, condemned Gensler’s comments as “absolute nonsense,” emphasizing the SEC Chair’s failure to address the FTX collapse, his close association with Sam Bankman-Fried, and his absence from the DOJ’s announcement on Binance. Garlinghouse also expressed concern that Gensler’s actions could impact President Joe Biden’s potential success in the 2024 US elections.

Gensler’s remarks have also raised concerns about their potential impact on upcoming elections. Billionaire Mark Cuban had previously voiced similar apprehensions during a Bloomberg interview in May. In response to questions about these concerns, Gensler stated that he does not comment on elections and reiterated his role as a securities regulator with a responsibility to safeguard investors and issuers.
Furthermore, Gensler defended the consistency of crypto securities with existing securities laws, dismissing the criticisms from the crypto industry as unfounded. He stated that there are no inconsistencies between crypto securities and securities laws.
