>This was a scam waiting to happen even if the contract did function as intended by the authors. I have said this from the beginning. From a purely logical point as a potential investor, you should ask yourself, why would an autonomous investment platform (borrowing your phrasing) require all the funds up front? In other words, look at kickstarter/gofund me, how skeptical would everyone have been if they asked for investors money before there was even an investment opportunity? Even with the fork, I think they should have returned everyone's money to them, and allow them to buy membership/voting right to the DAO for a nominal fee that would allow them to invest in future investment opportunities.
