> 1. I’m concerned with who won this. The game was stacked for the opponent of the DAO who had all of the information. Maybe it’s tinfoil hat but I think there was an ideological battle at hand - the preservation of centralization vs decentralization. Worst yet the DAO lost due to an inherent value it represents: transparency. There is nothing maliciously being done against a DAO here. It was an auction, the stupidest thing a bidder at an auction can do is announce their maximum bid limit way before an auction take place. That's what happened here, it is a given in any auction that you will either be outbidded if your maximum bid is known or you will be pushed to spend it all, it's a pretty simple game theory setup.
