I actually interacted with the person running the DAO. I believe him to be a scam artist.
For context: I also set up a group to bid on the book. Our intent was to spend $100,000. He reached out to offer to join forces.
I mentioned that the goals of the DAO, the use of proceeds, and the general vision were pretty blurry and might not work.
He said he had been in touch with Jodorowsky and Moebius and they're excited to work on an exhibition or such kind of event with him.
When I pointed out that Moebius died in 2012, he paused for a few minutes then said oh I meant his estate.
I don't believe there's been any proof of such communication or plans with the estate yet.
- TigeriusKirk 5y agoThanks for posting this. It's nice to have a comment from someone with insight into the situation. Your $100,000 goal wasn't unreasonable based on the estimates. What were your plans for the book if you'd won?
