To address the points raised:
1. The source of the treasury assets was the official Fluid treasury dashboard on the Fluid website. The recent governance proposal supports that being the majority of the funds since it only plans to transfer the positions currently listed in the treasury address, ~$5m in iETH v2 and $300k in fGHO, to the team multisig.
2. The actual legal settlement with Resolv is not in question, nor is the plan to have $8.2m of the bad debt ultimately repaid by the Treasury. However, the method of repayment from the treasury is not following a simple 'liquidate assets' -> 'deposit funds into clean up contract', but instead had the Fluid team multisig withdraw a total of 3.5m USDC and 4.5m USDT from the liquidity layer using a permissioned uncollateralized credit line that was originally only intended for 'Fluid DEX Lite expansion'. This has, at least for now, moved debt on to USDC and USDT depositers on Fluid. While I can presume the intention is to pay down the credit line with liquidated Treasury assets, there is admittedly a shortfall of ~$1m that will need to be paid down by future revenue. In addition, the majority of the are in iETH v2, which is a vault deposit token. This vault is currently effectively frozen, so a majority of those assets require a change in conditions to be liquid. This means that the credit line repayment is contingent on: 1. passed governance proposal, 2. iETH v2 redemptions, and 3. Future revenue to cover the remaining.
The method of repayment and the fact that, at least currently, USDC and USDT depositers are straddled with the debt until the 3 conditions above are met, is what I am trying to inform about with this investigation.
This is not grave dancing, I am not happy bad debt occured and I hope the protocol can recover with no additional losses. However, I am calling out what I see as the Fluid team overstepping their authority in exactly how the debt is being paid down. Drawing on the credit line without a governance proposal in order to fund the Resolv Cleanup contract introduced additional risk to USDC and USDT depositers that they were not informed of.

I encourage everyone to look at the evidence and draw their own conclusions.
I investigated Fluid's activity in cleaning up the Resolve depeg from March 22 that left Fluid with $21m in bad debt.
I found that $8m that was supposed to come from the treasury instead came from an uncollateralized credit line through the Fluid Team Multisig.
