Quote from zerpie on October 7, 2024, 6:28 pmOf course the name Jorge G. Tenreiro does ring a bell. He was the SEC attorney who signed off the case against Ripple in December 2020.

For context, a bar complaint is a civil accusation filed against a lawyer. If the bar deems the grievances fit, cases handled by the legal practitioner will be reviewed, and the lawyer will face debarment if the association finds any misconduct.
Notably, Tenreiro was also involved in several other cases involving crypto projects, including lawsuits against Debt Box and Veritaseum. On October 4, holders of VERI, Veritaseum’s native token, started filing a bar complaint against the SEC’s chief enforcer.
