SEC Attorney Moves to Withdraw from Ripple Case

Dugan Bliss, senior trial counsel at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, is seeking the court's permission to withdraw from the Ripple case. 

The attorney says that he's leaving the agency after spending there over 10 years. 

After Bliss's departure, the SEC will be represented by the remaining counsel: Jorge G. Tenreiro, Daphna A. Waxman, and Jon A. Daniels, and others. 

The litigation process is being supervised by SEC attorney Preethi Krishnamurthy.

The Ripple case is still in the pre-trial discovery phase. As reported by U.Today, the SEC is now seeking to expand the number of witnesses.  

Earlier this month, Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn greenlit the SEC's Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) requests.
