However, there have been last minute payments a few days ago exceeding 10,000 DOT for curators such as Coinstudio and Don Diego Sanchez, with no clarity and zero transparency reporting to justify these payouts.
This is an outright embarrassment.
Pushing through questionable payments at the last minute, without any documentation, accountability, or explanation, is a clear abuse of the system. The fact that this can happen unchecked speaks volumes about the deeply concerning state of the ecosystem.
Even more troubling is the fact that its sole owner and managing director is Giovanni Porpiglia, who also happens to be a board member of Amforc — the very entity behind the creation of this Legal Bounty.
This raises serious questions about conflicts of interest, independence, and governance standards. Why was a newly formed company with no visible track record selected? Were other firms considered? Was there any open or competitive process at all?
At best, this shows extremely poor judgment. At worst, it looks like self-dealing dressed up as due process. Either way, without clear explanations and full transparency, this situation is hard to defend and impossible to justify. Is this really the level of accountability the ecosystem now accepts?
If you had even a minimum level of decency and dignity, you would return the money that was recently paid among colleagues back to the treasury.
What has happened here goes beyond poor governance — it shows a serious lack of ethics and accountability. Keeping these funds under these circumstances is simply indefensible.
It is also striking how the multisig was set up in a rush just a week ago, seemingly for the sole purpose of pushing through these last-minute payments. If the bounty had involved any real or ongoing activity, the multisig would have been established long ago, not hurriedly assembled at the very end.
This only adds to the growing list of red flags and strongly reinforces the impression that this was nothing more than a last-minute attempt to raid the treasury.
