“The members of Veri DAO have the unique experience of being downstream, unaffiliated, and secondary holders of a digital asset in which certain central persons were sued by the SEC. The fallout of such SEC action has left downstream, unaffiliated holders of Veri tokens with no confidence or guidance on what they can legally do with their digital assets.”
