But also, Parsons according to some sources is in this with Pascal Schmid, not Schmitz-Krummacher, who was involved with CF at the founding stage… very strange.
I can’t comment on the composition of the original Cardano Foundation team, however I assume that the regulators and entities involved in the formation of the Foundation would have done their due diligence.
Glad to see other posts about this issue of the Cardano Corporation, was starting to think I was in the twilight zone when it seemed to go mostly unnoticed. This is looking like less a case of MP and PS simply not doing their duties and is looking more like a case of acting in “bad faith”, from an outsiders point of view.
Just for the record, when I first saw this registration of the Cardano Corporation I emailed the CF directly and inquired asking for a simple explanation. I copied other key people from the ecosystem too. I received no reply or acknowledgement from anyone. Silence. Strange.
“The company takes over at the foundation according to the contract of
27.03.2018 14 Bitcoins (BTC).”
I was asking for more information related to the Contract of 27.03.2018 and 14 BTC. Was wondering what specification the contract hold. Looked around didn’t find anything.
Pascal Schmid must be a very busy guy. It seems he works in the board in dozens of companies and foundations. Have a look here: SHAB.ch
Even more strange to me is that in the same documents (see link) very often the names Schmitz-Krummacher and Schmid appear both at the same time. One of them leaves, one enters. See e.g. Document of Particl Stiftung from 04.01.2018, Document of Lisk Stiftung from 22.06.2017, Interchain Stiftung, Blockchain Exploration GmbH, Golem Factory GmbH, …
Maybe this is just a normal behaviour and they both just play their role as Swiss member in the board and kind of rotate through all the foundations and companies. But even if it should be normal, for me it is not a sign of a healthy behaviour. and in neither case we can expect that Pascal Schmid is in any way interested in Cardano or the Cardano Foundation.
Looks like they are involved quite heavily in a competing blockchain. This could mean Pascal found his way to his next job before sh*t hit the fan with Parsons.
We’re excited to announce that Pascal Schmid will be joining the Lisk Foundation Board effective immediately. He will bring with him extensive expertise in finance and business economics. Schmid will be taking Guido Schmitz-Krummacher’s seat on the board, as Schmitz-Krummacher concentrates his efforts around being an independent blockchain and cryptocurrency expert.

I’m not in favour of him staying after the restructuring of the Cardano Foundations board.
That would be unethical, and all of us should keep an eye on the situation.
I see he’s taking Schmitz-Krummacher’s place yet again. I guess he’s just doing the same thing here as previously, ie fulfilling the statutory requirement for a Swiss national, in which case (a) he surely will give up CF chairmanship as soon as a replacement can be found, and (b) maybe it’s not too serious a conflict anyway?
