A Californian Federal Judge has issued an official order for the filing of a class-action lawsuit against the owners of BZRX, a supposed governance token, with regards to a $55 million hack. The judge believes the owners should be held responsible and has refused their request for closure of the lawsuit, stating that the BZRX tokens provide control of the protocol and revenue. The case raises questions about accountability and ownership in decentralized autonomous enterprises, with some arguing that the industry often conflates decentralization with trustlessness. The founders of bZx DAO, who are also the defendants, arguing that they do not possess any control of the crypto deposited by users and are not answerable to them. The judge's order supposes that taking part in governance could determine if a holder of BZRX is a general partner. (cryptonewsz)
