But genuine, hard questions are very welcome here.

The federal tax lien document was a fake?

I'm not in a position to tell.

But you can read my full response to Leewilson in a FUD thread.

Basically his/her post was an argument based upon that alleged tax lien document, rather than just a presentation of the document.

The argument presented was Lee's usual overextension of hypotheses beyond what the facts can support. Its claim, in a nutshell:
- a tax lien against Dan puts all the Blocknet's funds (and BLOCK) at risk [incorrect: they do not belong to Dan and will not be under Dan's control.]
- therefore Dan is unethical.

So it was yet another piece of insinuating, conspiracy-theorist-style FUD from Leewilson attempting to masquerade as legitimate argument.
Oh, and it was an attempted doxxing. Delete on sight.
And Lee is banned here. Delete on sight.

So Lee's post failed on multiple counts, and should stay in a FUD thread where it belongs.

For investors this is very important information as it would effect us all. To suggest otherwise doesn't make sense when you consider this basic info...

irs.gov says:

How a lien affects you
-Assets: A lien attaches to all of your assets (such as property, securities, vehicles) and to future assets acquired during the duration of the lien.
-Credit: Once the IRS files a Notice of Federal Tax Lien, it may limit your ability to get credit.
-Business: The lien attaches to all business property and to all rights to business property, including accounts receivable.
-Bankruptcy: If you file for bankruptcy, your tax debt, lien, and Notice of Federal Tax Lien may continue after the bankruptcy.

Yes I understand all this.
But it's just of consequence to either the Blocknet or XC.
He doesn't own them. He doesn't control the coins. His business doesn't either.

So unless there's reason to believe that (a) that lien does in fact pertain to Dan, and (b) it also pertains to the Blocknet or XC, it just looks like a gross invasion of privacy.

Obtaining public records is not an invasion of privacy. As long as these projects are closed source then all investors are at a liability when considering info similar to this potential lien.
