The Court is likewise unpersuaded by Goldberg's discussion of how other crypto assets were categorized in circumstances not analogous to those alleged in the Complaint. See ECF No. [25] at 11-13 (discussing XRP coins and citing, inter alia, a consent judgment in CFTC v. Omega Knight 2, No. 18-cv-22377-RNS (S.D. Fla. 2019)). Whether other crypto assets constitute securities or commodities is not the issue before this Court. Goldberg has provided no cognizable argument as to why the specific scheme described in the Complaint does not constitute an investment contract under the well-established Howey test.

Woodruff v. De Facto Barrett Daffin Frappier Treder & Weiss, LLP 21-cv-06862-SBA (N.D. Cal. Jul. 1, 2022)    Cited 1 times The Dismissal Order did not address “ NESARA ,” which was not raised in the Trial by Affidavit. Plaintiffs could have raised this purported “law” in their opposition to the motion to dismiss but failed to do so. Notably, insofar as “ NESARA ” refers to the National Economic Stabilization and Recovery Act, no such law has been enacted.

XRPL COURT CASES 12-55 : United States Sec. & Exch. Comm'n v. Bluepoint Inv. Counsel 19-cv-809-wmc (W.D. Wis. Nov. 16, 2021)

United States Sec. & Exch. Comm'n v. Bluepoint Inv. Counsel 19-cv-809-wmc (W.D. Wis. Nov. 16, 2021) The claim to a denial of fair notice is similarly meritless. “Due process requires that “laws give the person of ordinary intelligence a reasonable opportunity to know what is prohibited.” Upton v. S.E.C., 75 F.3d 92, 98 (2d Cir. 1996) (quoting Grayned v. City of Rockford, 408 U.S. 104, 108 (1972). In cases assessing whether fair notice was given, however, courts look to the particular SEC rule or rule interpretation that is challenged. E.g., Upton v. S.E.C., 75 F.3d 92 (2d Cir. 1996) (looking at whether Rule 15c3-3(e) was interpreted correctly); Sec. & Exch. Comm'n v. Ripple Labs, Inc., No. 20CV10832ATSN, 2021 WL 2323089 (S.D.N.Y. May 30, 2021) (looking at whether the SEC considered  XRP  a security); KPMG, LLP v. S.E.C., 289 F.3d 109 (D.C. Cir. 2002) (looking at the interpretation of AICPA Rule 302).
