SEC Chair Gary Gensler has promoted five senior officers in the SEC Enforcement Division, raising questions about their timing and purpose.
These promotions were made discreetly, leading to speculation about Gensler's motives before the new chair takes over.
Four of the promoted officers have been instrumental in the SEC's crypto enforcement efforts, which may create conflicts with the incoming SEC leadership.
The timing of these promotions and their potential impact on the Ripple case remain uncertain as Gensler's term comes to an end.
