Surely, as far as I understand, Theymos is the owner of the forum, so he has full and complete discretion regarding how to set up the Trust system and who to place as DT1s. Sure, there could be some ways that Theymos could change the DT system around or tweak it, but to a certain extent there is likely some locking in of systems that cannot be transitioned in and out at the drop of a hat.
I agree that when you are dealing with holding the money of other people, then there are greater responsibilities than dealing with your own, and surely we are more free to take greater risks with our own money than we are with the money of others.
I doubt that Theymos would leave OG with that much forum funds if he thought that OG was not aware or capable of carrying out reasonable and appropriate fiduciary responsibilities or if he thought that there may be a more prudent way to spread out the risk or to lessen some possible single points of failures, if that is actually an issue, like you assert.
Og is great with words, and aligning a situation to his own personal goals.
with some classic posting like -
The fact is that our debt has increased far faster than I had imagined at the time. However, I structured our debt so that this would never be a killer of the operation. In the loan it says that 25% of our mined income will go to debt.... The debt we hold is the best debt you can have in the world. It is 0% debt with no timely required payments. Basically, if we wanted, we could take 100 years to pay back this debt and it would be perfectly within our agreement.
I really cannot understand how this man is default trust.. yet people like Zepher and Lauda get kicked off it..
