Most of the resume of Hinman, a key figure in Ripple's lawsuit, has been deleted from the official website of the US SEC.

According to BlockBeats news on June 6th, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has removed most of the personal resume of its former director of the Division of Corporation Finance, William Hinman, as reported by Decrypt. While Hinman's profile page on the SEC website previously detailed his career experience, there is now only one line of introduction stating that Hinman served as the director of the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance from May 2017 to December 2020. The SEC's introduction to other personnel remains unchanged. William Hinman has become a key factor in the lawsuit between the US SEC and Ripple Labs. In 2018, Hinman stated at the FinTech Week conference that selling ETH does not constitute "securities trading".
