Well, folks, gather ’round! The Ripple vs. SEC soap opera is back, and everyone’s asking: Did Ripple just magically pay the fine and skip town? Or are they playing peekaboo with the money? The suspense is thicker than grandma’s gravy! 😜
A social media chatterbox recently claimed Ripple already coughed up the $125 million and shouted, “No appeals here!” But hang on-they didn’t file the official “we’re done” paperwork, oh no! Why’s the SEC just twiddling their thumbs and not holding a vote? It’s like waiting for Godot with more drama. 🎭
The Ex-SEC Lawyer Drops the Mic
Enter Marc Fagel, the former SEC lawyer with a face only a mother could love, to clear the air. Turns out, Ripple hasn’t just tossed cash and skipped out. Nope. The $125 million is chilling in an escrow account, like a fancy piggy bank-safe, sound, and waiting for the magic words: “We’re both done!” When that happens, ka-ching! It will be headed straight to the U.S. Treasury, where all good money goes – or so they say. 🐷💸
“Clarification: Ripple has not ‘paid the fine.’ The $125m penalty was paid into escrow following the court’s judgment last year, and will remain there until the appeals are concluded. Once the parties dismiss their appeals (likely soon), the money will go to the Treasury.” – Marc Fagel (@Marc_Fagel) August 5, 2025
Fagel’s saying, “Relax, folks, it’s just legal procedures,” like it’s no big deal. There’s no official “we’ve dropped the soap” moment yet-Ripple might be waiting for the SEC to get its act together before they dance off into the sunset together. Maybe a joint dismissal? Could be! Or just a big game of legal chicken. 🐔
Why Did Ripple Take the Fumble on the Injunction?
When Ripple tried to argue that the court should cut them some slack, the court looked at them and said, “Nope, you’re still on the hook.” Fagel explained Ripple’s attempt to dodge the bullet was like trying to use a straw to drink a ocean-just doesn’t work. The original financial slapstick remains in effect, and the escrow remains sealed tighter than grandma’s recipe box.
So, for now, the mysterious $125 million is chilling in its escrow home, awaiting the glorious day when all legal confetti settles-until then, it’s just part of the ongoing carnival of court drama. Stay tuned, popcorn not included! 🎬🍿
