Fox Business journalist Charles Gasparino continues to pour cold water on XRP fans, calling the favorable Judge Torres ruling a “short-lived euphoria.” The verbal clash between the well-known media personality and members of the XRP Army took off once again when former Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Jay Clayton was accused of conflict of interest.
XRP Army Puts Gasparino in the Hot Seat
The pro-crypto lawyer John E. Deaton pointed out that Clayton initiated the SEC vs. Ripple case in his last days in office at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Soon after, Gasparino stepped in, calling the claims “ridiculous” while the XRP community was “a cult.”
