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

maker of sushi-swap dex incorporated as a company perhaps a c-corp unnecessarily SushiDAO created a legal entity “to reduce liability” and then that entity and an individual associated with it got subpoenaed. PSA: if there’s an entity, it’s not a Decentralized Autonomous Organization sushiswap: https://www.sushi.com/ $SUSHI coin: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/sushiswap/ SBF on sushi-swap: https://www.forbes.co…

I don't completely agree, because a DAO like SushiDAO could lose it's websites and social media accounts, but the total value locked in it's smart contracts would not immediately change. (in the same way as a normal legal entity) These types of contracts are usually governed with their token, which would persist if the legal entity and current developers disappeared. Though, without a way for users to interact with the contract, I would imagine most of the total value locked would move away from the contracts afterwards.

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.

If you can't trust people in crypto, though, who CAN you trust?

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. [1] https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/sushiswap…

There's a sushi joke in there somewhere

But he’s not exactly _running_ the exchange, is he? I mean, it’d be interesting to see how the SEC asks him to shut it down, and of course that’s actually impossible for him (or anyone really) to do.

I think it's in really poor taste to compare regulators doing their job shutting down illegal activities and one of the most infamous pogroms, Kristallnacht.

People say "nuked" or make similar references to Hiroshima/Nagasaki, which I dislike for that same reason, but it's odd how that's generally given a pass.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

Do people still use Fark?

Back in the day, I used switch back and forth between Fark and Digg and eventually went full Digg.
