“And to support that, we are looking for speeches, conversations, things that the SEC or the government said related to Blockchain, Crypto, XRP, Ripple, and the XRP army are mined for us,” he said.

“We didn’t ask them, but once they saw this defense in our answer, people began to look for it. I can pay the lawyers thousands of dollars, literally thousands of dollars, to do that and yet they are looking for it and posting it on Twitter, and that is a huge impressive -it is useful for me.”

Judge mentioned affidavits in his decision
