The crapcoin thing is REDICULOUS!

THIS is what we setup nonprofits to support - some private entity and their crapcoin?

How is this legal?

How is this not a conflict of interest?

How is this not private inurment?

The crapcoin is totally opaque to. With premined coins.

It probably isn't legal but people use non-profits all the time for personal gain and get away with it almost always.

Exploiting nonprofit status to generate a personal benefit is not legal in the US. So if the board members, officers or whomever have some personal benefit to this crapcoin taking off, it's not legal for them to use nonprofit resources and tax breaks to push for that.
