The New York Southern District Court has rejected the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) attempt to get complete bank records from Telegram related to its token sales.

FinanceFeeds reported the news Tuesday, saying that the court held a telephone conference with the parties on Monday and Judge P. Kevin Castel signed an order denying without prejudice SEC’s letter motion to compel.

There is, however, an option that the SEC will get access to at least some of the requested information, per the report. Telegram reportedly has time until Jan. 9 to declare a proposed schedule for a review of the requested bank records to ensure that the production of such records complies with foreign data privacy laws.

A month ago the bot @test_ton_bot was refilled the last time. The previous replenishment of the bot dismantled in a few days. This time everything turned out differently.

If in November and early December bot average dismantled for 11 000 Gram per hour, while now the figure has dropped to 100 Gram per hour. That is a drop of more than 100 times. Why it happened. 7 Dec bot banned many of those who asked of him Grama. The user was given the message: "Sorry. Your account is not eligible for Test Grams".

On 18 December, the number of issued Gram fallen more than 10 times. Now for a week bot gives only 15 000 Gram.

With the pace of the bot will have enough available coins to give them more than two months.

Commission at the securities and exchange Commission (SEC) on Friday filed new documents against the Telegram, according to which the company was engaged in the sale of tokens after the end of ICO. Thus, the regulator seeks to prove that the application Telegram is no longer necessary in compliance with the requirements for the registration proposal is not baseless. Investment Fund Da Vinci Capital and the company Gem Limited has requested a reward of $209 783 and $1.1 million, respectively, for "post-sales" agreements for the purchase of tokens, the document says.

The arguments of the SEC in the case that the rule D Telegram measures must be taken, so that buyers did not sell securities for a Commission.

According to the regulator, companies that billed Telegram, violated this rule. In turn, the Telegram denies it, claiming that the fee was a fee for the search of funds for non-us individuals and legal entities for the provision of Gram to other investors.

In October last year, the SEC filed a lawsuit against the Telegram, demanding to cancel the launch of the TON. The next meeting in court between the parties to the case will be held on 18-19 February 2020.
