Funny that the founder can just submit to vote what is effectively “I need $3M USD and if that runs out additional $1M sums in perpetuity” with zero oversight on how it’s spent, outside of claiming it will be spent on legal costs.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

what is r/FlordiaMan material?

That would be Reddit collections of horrible acts by male Florida residents. The term derives from some formal bad writing conventions in news organizations.

Fark. The website you're looking for is Fark. Reddit is far too young.

...what even is SushiDAO? A Google search for "What is SushiDAO?" just gave a lot of articles with crypto-word-soup.

>SushiDAO is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that operates as a decentralized exchange (DEX) for cryptocurrencies[1]. It allows users to trade cryptocurrencies without the need for a central operator administrator, using their own preferred connected crypto wallet. SushiDAO has recently been in the news due to legal action taken against it by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)[2][3]. In response, SushiDAO has proposed creating a legal defense fund to cover legal costs for core contributors and multisig participants[4][5].

Honestly, I'm also flabbergasted when the guy is basically running an unregulated exchange that offers what are almost certainly unregistered securities[1] (definitionally, the value of $SUSHI LP tokens goes up when people trade other projects' tokens, so the Howey Test is clearly violated) and freely chooses to live in the US. The SEC is shooting fish in a barrel.

"I won't comment on legal matters" "But I'm asking for legal funds" I'm asking for funds too. On matters I can't discuss. Does that apply too?
