quoted by Decrypt say the case may hinge on the gap between WLFI\u2019s decentralization marketing and what its smart contracts permit.","Yuriy Brisov says a contract granting admin power to confiscate unilaterally may conflict with disclosure expectations and that burying a function in bytecode is not disclosure.","Joshua Chu says AML/sanctions-type powers on-chain require transparent,
