This is a cross-post from www.dashcentral.org/p/legal-201610 This proposal is simply to complete the second half of the required funding for the working being conducted by the PIllsbury law firm. If you are not familiar, the original proposal with additional details can be found here: https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/proposal-legal-sept.10457/ After the initial approval, we have signed an engagement letter with Pillsbury and the initial retainer has been funded. The legal work should begin within the next week or two. The total cost estimate ranges from $35,000 to $45,000, and the first $20,000 has been committed thus far. We will therefore need approximately another $20,000 to complete the project, which this proposal will fund.The first set of questions we are in the midst of addressing consists of the following on masternode investing and liabilities, and exchange liabilities for regulated fiat exchanges:1) Legal opinion on the treatment of masternode block rewards under the Internal Revenue Codea. Whether they are treated similarly to mining rewards, interest, or other tax treatmentb. Tax treatment of the initial collateral “investment”2) Liability of masternode owners for the transactions they facilitatea. Whether masternode owners may be responsible for criminal activities connected with transactions they facilitateb. If so, under what circumstancesc. Whether participation in “mixing” services might give rise to criminal liabilityd. If so, under what circumstances3) Liability of exchanges that support Dash transactions and guidelines on meeting existing compliancea. Whether an exchange might be held liable for criminal activity associated with PrivateSend transactions and under what circumstancesNote: Any unused budget will be applied toward other legal expensesdash-cli mnbudget vote-many 3ab25fa3e7e2b804245048069d1319ca2b66eae6e1f9d3901eb25e29102e1c5e yesOR from the qt console:mnbudget vote-many 3ab25fa3e7e2b804245048069d1319ca2b66eae6e1f9d3901eb25e29102e1c5e yesdash-cli mnbudget vote-many 3ab25fa3e7e2b804245048069d1319ca2b66eae6e1f9d3901eb25e29102e1c5e noOR from the qt console:mnbudget vote-many 3ab25fa3e7e2b804245048069d1319ca2b66eae6e1f9d3901eb25e29102e1c5e no
