The lawyer explicitly notes this 'has just increased MetaDAO's risk profile unnecessarily.' This matters because regulatory frameworks look at actual conduct patterns, not just formal legal structures. The mechanism is that active involvement—even if intended to protect users—can be interpreted as the platform taking on fiduciary responsibilities that passive infrastructure providers avoid. The lawyer recommends checking indemnities to ensure coverage, suggesting this conduct-based liability is a recognized legal risk category. + +--- + +Relevant Notes: +- futarchy-governed-permissionless-launches-require-brand-separation-to-manage-reputational-liability-because-failed-projects-on-a-curated-platform-damage-the-platforms-credibility.md + +Topics: +- [[_map]] diff --git a/inbox/queue/2026-03-30-tg-shared-jabranthelawyer-2038413063381246199-s-20.md b/inbox/queue/2026-03-30-tg-shared-jabranthelawyer-2038413063381246199-s-20.md index 6eceb4895..1ba43018f 100644 --- a/inbox/queue/2026-03-30-tg-shared-jabranthelawyer-2038413063381246199-s-20.md +++ b/inbox/queue/2026-03-30-tg-shared-jabranthelawyer-2038413063381246199-s-20.md @@ -7,10 +7,14 @@ url: "https://x.com/jabranthelawyer/status/2038413063381246199?s=20" date: 2026-03-30 domain: internet-finance format: social-media -status: unprocessed +status: processed proposed_by: "@m3taversal" contribution_type: source-submission tags: ['telegram-shared', 'x-tweet', 'governance'] +processed_by: rio +processed_date: 2026-03-30 +claims_extracted: ["fundraising-platform-active-involvement-creates-due-diligence-liability-through-conduct-based-regulatory-interpretation.md"] +extraction_model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5" --- # @jabranthelawyer — Tweet/Thread @@ -31,3 +35,8 @@ A) They've moved from simply a "fundraising platform" to one actively involved i B) By stating that founders past experience + is basis to continue raise, they've created a due diligence obligation on themselves - Best to check the indemnities founders provide to ensure they're covered because all of this has just increased MetaDAO's risk profile unnecessarily imo + + +## Key Facts +- A lawyer reviewing MetaDAO's handling of the P2P situation stated 'P2P did something objectively wrong.
