It's weird how this love affair between SPL and the DAO seemingly works. Looking in from the outside it is hard to distinguish between who is the boss and who is the slave. If SPL wants money from the DAO then does that not make the DAO the boss? If that is the case and if SPL wants to throw the towel in over the land expansion then why is the DAO not the one presenting a proposal for the continuation of land development given that it has to pay for it if it wants it?
The way this proposal is put forward (the DAO hires cryptomancer but he works for SPL) it looks like SPL owns the DAO and any vote is just a rubber stamps for whatever SPL wants.
