How One Wallet Legally Drained BonkDAO's Treasury: Uneasy Money

Description

One wallet spent $4.4 million buying up Bonk tokens on Bybit and Binance, then used that stake to push a governance proposal through BonkDAO's Realms platform. A week later, with almost no one watching the vote, the DAO's entire $20 million treasury was gone. Taylor Monahan traces exactly how the 1% quorum rule let one wallet legally take everything, and Kain Warwick can't decide if that makes the guy a thief or the DAO's rightful new king.
