[theBLOC @BLOC_HQ]

We have read your follow-up statement carefully and we appreciate that a statement was made, thank you but we note what it says and also what it does not says;

🏳️ On “balance”
You stated your focus was to balance two responsibilities: “protecting election integrity and treating affected members fairly”
Sincerely @IntersectMBO there was no balance.

Protecting integrity got immediate actions: votes invalidated, memberships suspended, results recalculated within hours.
And treating members fairly got
- silence,
- no prior notice,
- no hearing,
-candidates who contested in the election have not received a single response and some even got suspended,
-members sending emails since last week have heard nothing.

That is not balance, that is one priority executed at the speed of an audit and another deferred at the speed of silence.

🏳️ On KYC failures
You cited KYC failures as part of your justification for suspensions, because I didn’t fully understand that point.

With due respect, that argument does not hold in this conversation; KYC is used as one of the gatekeeping mechanism before any member can cast a vote.

📌 KYC failure means no ballot access.
Either they passed and voted legitimately or they failed and never should have reached the ballot box.

🏳️ On the sequence of events
You acknowledged that reviews involve legal, privacy, and procedural considerations that take time and on this @IntersectMBO we agree completely, as a mentor over here working as a National and International Lawyer, I agree too

That is exactly how due process works,
“but due process runs before punishment not after”

• You suspended 100+ KYC verified members, invalidated their votes before any individual review/hearing was completed.
• You stripped rights first and are now conducting the investigation that should have preceded your actions.

You investigate, then act. The sequence matters.

🏴 On the Bylaws and Wyoming Law
Article 2, Section 8 of your own Bylaws is clear. Suspension requires 15 days written notice, a stated cause, and a formal Board Hearing before action is taken. A two-thirds Board vote is required for any long-term action.

🏴 Wyoming Statute § 17-19-621 requires that any suspension of member rights follows a fair and reasonable procedure including prior written notice and an opportunity to be heard before the effective date.

None of that happened, members received a suspension email after they had been suspended.

Your own statement now confirms that individual reviews are still ongoing, that means the process that should have preceded the suspension is still incomplete, days after the suspension was already executed.

🏳️ On what we are asking
We are not asking for special treatment even though we are your members, babies, children and a Force.

We are asking for three things your own documents already guarantee:

1. Reinstate the memberships and votes while individual reviews proceed not after. Let the process run in the correct sequence.

2. Respond to the candidates and members who have been waiting since last week. Silence is not a governance position.

3. Schedule the individual review hearings “live”, via Zoom or Google Meet so that 100% KYC-verified members can present their circumstances directly, as your statement now promises.

We believe in Intersect,
We believe in Cardano,
We are asking for the process that both of them promise.

Yours sincerely, your babies

A LESSON IN GOVERNANCE 03:

Lessons 01 and 02 established the definitions and the facts. Today we use something more powerful @IntersectMBO’s own published statement, dated 8th May 2026, to make our case.

🏴 The Audit That Never Asked “Why”

The third-party audit flagged our members as a coordinated cluster based on four signals;
• Shared payment cards,
• Registration timing,
• Correlated votes, and
• A pre-election membership spike.

It measured what, It never asked why;
• Shared cards? Because Bybit dollar cards are one of the only USD payment options accessible in Nigeria.
• Correlated votes? Because we shared the same educators, the same mentors, and the same Cardano Foundation CBCA training.
• Registration spike? Because we were onboarding people into a system we believed in
• Urgently, because we cared.

A process that measures patterns without investigating context is not an audit. It is a verdict in disguise.

🏳️ They Exonerated Our Method In The Same Document, Page 4 of their own statement reads:

“Where local banking rails, exchange access, or payment infrastructure are constrained, it is common and entirely legitimate for community organisers to pay membership dues on behalf of others.”
They called our method legitimate then suspended 162 members for it.

🏳️ We Asked Before We Moved
Before registering a single member, we stopped. A sitting Intersect Civics Committee member raised our situation publicly in a live Civic Space and asked: “If members register now, would they have the right to vote, be voted for, and participate in governance?” The answer was yes. Only then did we proceed.

Sybil attackers do not ask for clearance. Communities do.

🏴 What Their Own Bylaws Required
Article 2, Section 8 is clear;
- Suspension requires 15 days written notice, a stated cause, and a formal Board Hearing.
- Long-term action requires a two-thirds Board vote.
Their own statement on Page 6 confirms this “affected members will have the opportunity to be heard before any such decision is taken.”

What these suspended members received: no notice, no cause, no hearing.

Just an email that arrived after the suspension was already done.

@usaowy
Wyoming Statute § 17-19-621
Termination, Expulsion and Suspension
(Wyoming Nonprofit Corporation Act)

Section (a): No member of a public benefit or mutual benefit corporation may be expelled or suspended, and no membership in such corporations may be terminated or suspended except pursuant to a procedure that is fair and reasonable and is carried out in good faith.

Section (b): A procedure is fair and reasonable when it provides:
- Not less than 15 days prior written notice of the suspension and the reasons for it
- An opportunity for the member to be heard, orally or in writing, not less than 5 days before the effective date of the suspension.

🏴The Review They Promised
Their statement calls the suspension “protective and time-bound” and promises individual review for every affected member.
Members were directed to email [email protected] and they emailed but no response whatsoever.

A promise of review that produces only silence is not a review. It is a delay and INJUSTICE.

📌 Three Paths Forward
1️⃣ Reinstatement: Unsuspend every member suspended without due process.

2️⃣ A Proper Hearing: Follow Article 2.8. Issue the notice, convene the Board, let our/your members speak @JBriggsLondon, let evidence be tested in the open.
3️⃣Full Refund: If neither above is offered and we are meaningless to the community, then kindly return every membership fee immediately.
You cannot acknowledge legitimacy, promise reviews, maintain silence, and keep the money.

Decentralization is a promise not a brand. A promise broken for these members today can be broken for anyone tomorrow.

We believe in Intersect,
We believe in Cardano.
Decentralization: Now we are waiting to see if they believe in us.

A LESSON IN GOVERNANCE 02:

“Coordination is Democracy, Not a Crime - Bloc et al 2026”

Every fair election in history relies on coordinated voting directly or indirectly. From the US Election of 1800 to Italy’s "Voto di Lista," organizing to vote as a block is how minorities ensure they are represented.

Even Cardano’s dRep system is built on coordination. In 2025, dReps used "Block Voting" to pass the Critical Integrations Budget in record time.
“Why is it "alignment" when the inner circle does it, but "spam" when others do these same things?”

1. Participation vs. Fraud
Let’s be clear on the definitions:
• Sybil/Stuffing: One person using fake IDs or bots. (These members all passed Intersect's own KYC without cheating in any way).
• Voting Participation: Real, verified humans aligning for a shared goal @blockjock2017 

The Intersect Voting Policy encourages participation. Nowhere does it ban “members from talking, campaigning, or voting for people they trust”, during elections and campaigns, spaces are being organized even by @IntersectMBO , by candidates and friends of candidates and after those spaces, the host do give shoutout to people and indirectly asks people to vote for their persons (directly or indirectly)

2. The Math of the "Capture" Myth

Critics scream "Capture" to sound scary, but the numbers tell a different story. Out of approximately 40 total seats, is aiming for just 1 or 2 seats per committee (out of 5), which is less than 25% of the total power capturing?
In governance, "capture" means taking 50-70% of the seats not even 100%.
Taking one seat is called Representation. If an organization can’t handle a 20% minority at the table, it isn't "decentralized" it’s a private club @hoskytoken @Epka_Epka .

3. The Hypocrisy of "Onboarding"
Intersect’s own 2026/27 Budget proposes spending thousands in ADA to "onboard dReps globally for free." (you can verify, it's open source)

When Intersect pays for coordination, it’s called "Inclusion." When Interested members fund their own onboarding, pay their own dues, and commit to learn via the Cardano Foundation course, it’s called a "Grift." This is full discrimination!!! @hoskytoken .

4. Who Actually Broke the Rules? @IntersectMBO @hoskytoken
We followed every rule:
📌These members paid,
📌These members passed KYC, and
📌They voted.
The Board, however, broke Article 2, Section 8 of the Bylaws. They suspended these members and deleted votes without the mandatory 15-day notice or a hearing.

@IntersectMBO You bypassed the law because you couldn't handle the result of a fair, organized turnout, IT WAS NEVER A CAPTURE. ⚖️

@BLOC_HQ @IntersectMBO @Cardano_CF @emurgo_io @IOGroup This isn't how things are transparently don honestly. Saw the mail just now and I can't seem to wrap my head around the suspension

[Newfoundlad_🐼 @Safety_deck]

@itz_brixzy @Wizarab10 Just need 5 wins, assuming Manchester City will win all 7 of their matches

@that_lil_bwoy @alat_ng They should just revert back to the old app. And I thought a digital bank would save me the stress other traditional banks have put me through 😂

[Newfoundlad_🐼 @Safety_deck]

@alat_ng Why don't you have a customer service line on your app? Functionality of you current app is something else.

@cjhtech @trylimitless I'm not seeing anything new. Simple mode is gone in my end, and the pro mode hasn't been my best trading mode honestly.

[Newfoundlad_🐼 @Safety_deck]

@DefiPrince88 @trylimitless And the odds should be seen or better still if they don't see the need to do that, they can start with allowing us see the actual odds like before and not percentage of people staking in it to help with timely decisions.
