The SEC has made significant changes to the biography page of William Hinman, the former director of the SEC's corporation finance division, removing much of the information about his professional past. Hinman is known for a speech he gave in 2018 about how decentralization impacts the regulatory classification of Ethereum and Bitcoin. The SEC's alterations to his biography page have raised questions about the agency's motives, with some speculating that they are preparing to "throw him under the bus" in the ongoing case against Ripple over the XRP token. Hinman's notion of decentralization is also being incorporated into legislative proposals aimed at the digital assets industry.
