All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XV

...then wouldn't they really need a bank account if they're already incorporated? Seems like someone over there may have put the cart before the horse in terms of what they were doing; if one doesn't have a bank account by the time of incorporation, then they should have literally been opening the bank account as one of the first steps right after incorporation.

I can fully understand the whole "we had a timeline already set up", but it seems incredibly inflexible to demand holding to it, and that the demand was in relation to a "I can't be in the liability position anymore" request, which from the outside can look like "please keep holding this liability bag for right now until it blows over".

Labster, something that does come up in this is that there might have been a need to incorporate some sort of incorporated entity much earlier, if only to have put some legal remove on yourself in regards to the EU legal threat regarding disputed content on one of the wikis. It might still have required removal as the easiest solution (which is why SLAPP is a thing, it counts on concessions being much easier and cheaper than fighting it), but it would probably have removed the jail threat.
