“Harry Potter” actors Emma Thompson, Imelda Staunton, and Jim Broadbent are opposing the proposed renovation plans of their neighbor, Sendi Young, an executive at Ripple.
Harry Potter Stars Object
You and the crypto community, can you imagine being neighbors with famous actors from the “Harry Potter” film franchise? Well, it seems that Emma Thompson (Professor Trelawney), Imelda Staunton (Professor Umbridge), and Jim Broadbent (Professor Slughorn) are not happy with their neighbor’s renovation plans. Young and her husband have applied for permission to demolish a one-story building and replace it with a modern structure, which the actors claim doesn’t match the architectural style of the area. They fear it will cause damage to their homes and the surrounding environment. The actors have gathered support from residents and environmental groups to fight against the proposed renovation.
Ripple Legal Battle Continues
In other news related to Ripple, the Southern District Court of New York partially ruled in favor of the company in its ongoing legal battle against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC has sued Ripple, claiming that its XRP offering violated securities laws. While the court ruled in favor of Ripple regarding the sale of XRP on exchanges, the SEC intends to appeal the decision. Recently, Ripple challenged the SEC’s request for an interlocutory appeal, arguing that it does not meet the necessary criteria. Ripple believes that interlocutory appeals are intended for cases with clear legal issues, rather than those with complex factual disputes.
Hot Take
The opposition of “Harry Potter” actors to Ripple executive Sendi Young’s renovation plans highlights the significance of considering the impact of construction projects on local communities and the environment. It’s essential to balance the interests of different stakeholders and ensure that developments align with the existing architectural style and character of the area. As for Ripple’s legal battles, the partial ruling in their favor is a small victory, but the appeal from the SEC means the journey is far from over. The outcome of this case will have significant implications for the classification of cryptocurrencies and the regulatory framework surrounding them.
