Earlier, CoinGape <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/xrp-lawyer-john-deaton-crypto-news\/\">reported<\/a> XRP lawyer John Deaton\u2019s revelation that he had seen some of the \u2018receipts\u2019 that may uncover truth about the ICO numbers.<\/p>\n<p>While agreeing to have seen the records, the lawyer apparently indicated Ethereum when he said he was not able to reveal the names as he was bounded by <strong>attorney client privilege<\/strong>. This means Nerayoff entered into an engagement agreement with attorney Deaton. This could essentially mean Deaton representing the former ETH advisor in the court if required.<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.72.1 --><\/p>\n<p>Fred Rispoli, another attorney, clarified that the attorney client privilege could mean huge implications coming ahead. He <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/freddyriz\/status\/1705443001995317252\">warned<\/a> that the partnership could lead to massive implications with \u201cVery big things to come.\u201d Does this mean Nerayoff suing the Ethereum Foundation over framing of fraud charges?<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.72.1 --><\/p>\n<h2>XRP Lawsuit Impact<\/h2>\n<p>Attorney Deaton, is known for his views that the US SEC favored Ethereum while making Ripple (XRP) project a scapegoat with the enforcement actions. Hence, a potential lawsuit filing on behalf of Nerayoff could be in the making over the next few months.<\/p>\n<p>Also Read: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/is-terra-co-founder-do-kwon-coming-to-us\"><strong>Is Terra Co-Founder Do Kwon Coming To US?
