maker of sushi-swap dex incorporated as a company perhaps a c-corp unnecessarily

SushiDAO created a legal entity “to reduce liability” and then that entity and an individual associated with it got subpoenaed.

PSA: if there’s an entity, it’s not a Decentralized Autonomous Organization

I don't completely agree, because a DAO like SushiDAO could lose it's websites and social media accounts, but the total value locked in it's smart contracts would not immediately change. (in the same way as a normal legal entity) These types of contracts are usually governed with their token, which would persist if the legal entity and current developers disappeared. Though, without a way for users to interact with the contract, I would imagine most of the total value locked would move away from the contracts afterwards.
