Proposal Details
If approved, the proposal would put $3 million USDT as part of a fund to defend itself from legal actions against the organization and its members. The funds would come from Kanpai (50%) as well as Sushi fees and grants reserve (50%). If depleted, the organization would have to refund the initiative with $1 million USDT more until the end of the legal case.

Similar Cases in The Past
This is not the first time that a U.S. government organization exerts legal action against a DAO.

The Ooki DAO case is still ongoing.
