The article mentions that since the company definitively sold unregistered securities to hedge funds and sophisticated buyers (without registering with the SEC), a jury will now/soon need to "decide whether or not Garlinghouse or Larson aided in the company's violation of the law."

Seems pretty clear cut that the company, and it's executives, will have further problems to tackle in the near future.

This could become much bigger if the SEC uses this enforcement as an example reference case for future actions against other token projects that followed a similar playbook over the past several years, assuming the case is kicked further up the court hierarchy on appeal.
