Ripple has tried every trick in the book to dismiss SECās request to the court, compelling ripple to product pending documentation in the Slack dispute. From the passive stance of offering a bargain by the discovery of additional, relevant, and case-specific Slack data; to the active action of filing a sur-reply to correct SECās āmisstatementsā in Slack data dispute.

Both, losing Tesslerās potential support and being compelled to produce Slack data, has accounted for a bad day and long journey for the defense in the XRP lawsuit.
