Laughed out loud reading this docket. A "Decentralized Autonomous Organization" getting subpoenaed by a New York judge is peak comedy.
They thought having a "Security Council" to freeze funds was a brilliant safety feature. Now they're legally liable as a general partnership. If you build a backdoor for emergencies, the state will absolutely force you to use it.
If a court can compel your multisig signers under threat of contempt, you don't run a DAO. You run a regulated bank with a Discord server. Admin keys are fatal liabilities.
You can't fake decentralization when push comes to shove. True base layers simply cannot comply with court orders. There is no multisig to subpoena on Monero.
Stop slapping web3 labels on centralized tech.
Route through the dark stack.
Vanish completely. 🏴
When the Arbitrum Security Council confiscated the rsETH hacker wallet they didn't think of this.
Now lawyers in the US are after that money to make whole DPRK victims from the past.
Unlikely that 70M will be released to AAVE any time soon. Once you go centralized, RIP.
WORLDWIDE CRACKDOWN ON VPNs BEGINS
🇪🇺 EU Executive Vice President Henna Virkkunen is pushing limits on VPN use, warning new age and ID systems must not be bypassed.
Utah becomes the first 🇺🇸 US state to target VPNs under age verification laws starting May 6, 2026.
Websites can be held liable even if users mask location, forcing a choice: block VPNs entirely or require ID checks from everyone.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation calls it a “liability trap” that could push global platforms toward mass identity verification.
Momentum is building globally. 🇬🇧 UK and 🇫🇷 French officials are now signaling VPN restrictions may be next.
EU-wide age verification is set to roll out across all 27 member states by the end of 2026.
😱 iOS 26.4.2 still leaks the real IP when updating VPN apps. Motivated by Mullvad's recent blog, we made a website that logs the iPhone IP every second. We started Mullvad VPN, opened the website, then let Mullvad updated in the background. See the leaks in action.. 🤯
