The Security and Exchange Commission SEC of the United States has filed a lawsuit against Ripple, its Chief Executive Officer, Brad Garlinghouse, and its co-founder, Christian Larsen.

The commission alleges that the token is categorized as a security token. SEC accused Ripple and the two other executives of gathering over $1,300,000,000 with unregistered, digital currencies offering to stockholders since 2013.

These acts denied XRP buyer from proper disclosure about the token, Stephanie Avakian said.

The claims against ripple will likely attract grave consequences if the management and board of Ripple are found culpable. It may likely plummet price further and jeopardize the interest of the Ripple investors.
