Traditional and Digital Limits of Collective Investment Schemes should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Without a legal wrapper, DAOs face potential regulatory enforcement actions and civil liability not only at the organization level but against individual participants.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
