John Deaton is a leader that takes action. He saw a group of investors being harmed by the actions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and took action himself. Deaton decided to start a class-action lawsuit against the actions of the SEC. Over 65,000 XRP holders have decided to take his side in this legal battle for justice and fairness.

John deserves a special place in the XRP community as he has devoted his life to the community at large.
