Is a Ripple win on cards?

Ripple has been fighting a very long legal battle against the SEC and it seems like closure is near. In the court proceedings, the SEC is lagging behind and seem to be using delay tactics.

“I don’t know what he was saying, but he did say hey we are going to lose and we are okay with that”
