John Deaton Challenges Ex-SEC Attorney Over Ripple Investors

John Deaton, a Republican Senate candidate and pro-crypto lawyer, has challenged former SEC attorney Ladan Stewart in a debate, accusing her of actions that harmed investors in crypto cases, particularly those involving Ripple (XRP) and LBRY. Deaton claims that Stewart and her colleagues at the SEC opposed filings from individual investors and argued against any representation for XRP holders, despite Judge Sarah Netburn expressing concerns about the SEC's conduct. Deaton references his filings and XRP holder affidavits, which were used by Judge Analisa Torres in her final summary judgment decision. Deaton's decision to run for Senate is driven by his desire to restore ethics and a faithful allegiance to the law in government.
