XRP Reports are divided on whether Jay Clayton was still chairman during the SEC's lawsuit against Ripple.
Decrypt and Coinpedia gave diametrically opposed accounts of whether Jay Clayton was still chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission when the SEC sued Ripple.
Consensus
All sources confirm the following facts:
- Jay Clayton has been named head of Trump's newly created "super-intelligent force" and is reported to be the administration's top AI official.
- Jay Clayton served as chairman of the SEC.
- The SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple over XRP tokens.
Report divergence points
1. Whether Clayton was still chairman of the SEC when he filed Ripple's lawsuit
Decrypt reported:
In December 2020, in one of the measures at the end of his term, the SEC led by Clayton fined Ripple a $1.3 billion fine. Previously, the former SEC chairman had left before the SEC sued Ripple.
Coinpedia reports:
The media pointed out that Clayton left office after the SEC sued Ripple, implying that he was still in office when the lawsuit was filed.
How to clarify the facts
To resolve this dispute, you need to check the filing date and press release of the SEC v. Ripple Labs case officially released by the SEC, and check Clayton's official tenure record as chairman of the SEC.
Conclusions and recommendations
应将克莱顿被任命为AI相关职务视为既定事实，但鉴于这两家媒体对其SEC任期与Ripple诉讼时间线的描述存在分歧，在对照SEC官方记录核实之前，不应将此时间线作为确凿事实重复传播。
