SEC, Ripple Seeking One-Week Extension on Unsealing Hinman Documents

On Friday, both parties filed a request to delay the filing of various exhibits, including Hinman documents. The District Judge Analisa Torres of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York granted the motion on the same day, setting a new deadline on June 13th.
