1/ It’s been 5 years since Bill Hinman gave his infamous speech – and through the SEC’s lawsuit against @Ripple (and 7 court orders), we can finally share what happened behind the scenes through the now public emails / drafts of the speech.
It's strange on so many different levels. Why would Nasdaq do something like this? Boah, can we get past this litigation so institutions don't have to dance around Ripple anymore, but call a spade a spade.
