According to an <a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/65369411/59/commodity-futures-trading-commission-v-ooki-dao/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">order</a> from a US federal judge, the two initial creators of the decentralized autonomous organization <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/paradigm-seeks-cftc-to-serve-ooki-daos-members">Ooki DAO</a> must get notice of the <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/a16z-promotes-ex-us-cftc-commissioner-quintenz-as-policy-chief">Commodities Future Trading Commission's (CFTC)</a> lawsuit.
<h2>Ooki DAO Creators Served With Lawsuit</h2>
Tom Bean and Kyle Kistner, the creators of the decentralized trading platform bZeroX, which served as the forerunner to Ooki DAO, were served with legal papers on December 12 by District Judge William Orrick.

Separate accusations were brought against the owners of the decentralized autonomous organization Ooki tokens, served through a support chat box and a notification on an online forum. Bean and Kistner had already reached a settlement with the CFTC in September for unlawful commodities offer on bZeroX. Judge Orrick eventually learned that Bean and Kistner were also Ooki DAO token holders, so he changed his mind on how the CFTC should serve the complaint.
<h2>CFTC To Serve Few Token Holders</h2>
According to Judge Orrick's analysis, the decentralized autonomous organization Ooki has genuine notice of the action. The CFTC shall serve a minimum of one identified Token Holder to provide the most effective notification that is reasonably practical.

The CFTC's first strategy for bringing the case was met with opposition, and members of the cryptocurrency community filed amicus papers in favor of Ooki DAO, arguing the CFTC should track out Ooki DAO members and serve them with the complaint directly. On December 7, the CFTC and those organizations that submitted amicus briefs to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California attended a briefing to ask Judge Orrick to reassess permitting the CFTC to serve Ooki DAO through its assistance chat box.
<h2>CFTC to Order Bean and Kistner</h2>
According to Orrick, at the court, the CFTC said it understood that some of Ooki DAO's Token Holders reside and do business in the US since the founding members of Ooki DAO's precursor firm, bZeroX LLC, are Token Holders who live in the United States.

He ended by saying that the CFTC is now ordered to serve lawsuit to Bean and Kistner in their capacities as the decentralized autonomous organization Ooki Token Holders.
