Anyone familiar with this "The Dao" clusterfuck?
I work at the Ethereum Foundation, and word on the street is that individuals who invested in the Dao could be held liable for the stolen funds. Apparently the Dao was structured as an unlimited liability partnership, meaning those of us who participated are potentially liable for our partners' loss of funds.
Stephen Tual can suck on my fucking cock.

Yeah, okay, stolen funds, whatever. Eth got outplayed at their own numb game. The protections just aren't there for decentralization tech right now, sorry about your luck.

It's working as intended.

Ether isn't technically money and there's no way to identify anyone who bought into the DAO presale. This is all just theoretical speculation, the reality is no legal action will take place, the hacker may or may not make his way out with tens of thousands of dollars worth of ETH and everyone who invested in the DAO lost what they put in. Also Stephan Tual's name is about as shit as Karpeles's at this point.
I put a pretty minimal amount in the DAO, most of my losses have been from the media backlash driving the price of Ether back down, but I got in when it was still in the $2.30s so whatever. I'm personally hoping for a soft fork to disable the stolen funds and deflate the economy, but that's mostly for my own financial gain.
