Money intended for humanitarian aid is regularly diverted to oppressors of all kinds. It's *the* central problem most organizations face when trying to set up operations to help people in need. It's impossible to rule out this possibility.
but it's possible to make the assumption based on what? Yussuf has been very transparent with the project and I'd suggest to dig into it before forming an opinion.
I am not assuming in this particular case, but you have to take perspective of the geyser fund. Impossible to verify, but high risk from the political environment alone. And just to reiterate, my original point is that inferring "AML regime intervention" instead of just a player hedging risks is over the top.
I understand what you're saying but I've supported that project over the last year and followed very closely. The money went where it was meant to go. Into food and shelter for those displaced by the Israelin aggressors. Shows us once again why we need to built more tamper- and censorship resistant services. The moment there is a company behind a project there's an attack vector to limit the service or even shut it down.
I understand your sentiment, since you have deeper knowledge of the project than most people. If it's a company, it can be pressured, and even if it's not, the people running it have to make tradeoffs that wouldn't be made in a decentralized setup.
I agree 100%. This is why incorporating is overrated in our space.
