In the opposition transient, Ripple should exhibit that each one post-complaint gross sales of XRP had been to non-US institutional buyers. Moreover, if Ripple proves nearly all of pre-complaint XRP gross sales had been to non-US institutional buyers, Judge Analisa Torres may ship a token penalty ruling.
