Compound community member ugurmersin has alleged that the Compound Foundation misappropriated its v2 DAI reserves. According to ugurmersin, Proposal 536 submitted in February this year allocated approximately 8.42 million DAI to the Foundation for custody, with strict restrictions: the funds must be used solely for protocol operations, not for speculative trading, remain the property of the DAO, and cannot be used for the Foundation’s own expenditures. On-chain records show that the funds were transferred to a trading platform, exchanged for around 344,800 COMP, and delegated to the Foundation’s voting address roughly 58 minutes before the deadlines of Proposals 580 and 582. ugurmersin claims this move was intended to push nearly all DAO funds into TMC and pass a roughly $52 million V4 proposal favorable to the Foundation, while multiple parties publicly referred to the funds as "liquidity DAI" throughout the process. The Compound Foundation has not yet responded to the allegations.
