Money Laundering Through DeFi and DAOs: A New Zone of Regulatory Blindness and the Limits of International Enforcement presents the following source proposition: The study also explores emerging legal practice, including sanctions actions against mixers, cases against developers, and attempts to extend liability to DAO governance participants. This proposition is pertinent to 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. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

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