The FOMOEgg egg in the studio, illustrating: Are community takeovers legal?
Short answer

People running a takeover can face liability for misleading marketing. This is general education, not legal advice.

How to check it yourself

  1. Read the takeover team's public claims and check whether each one can be verified.
  2. Look for clear disclosures that say who runs it and that it is not financial advice.
  3. For any legal question about your own situation, ask a qualified lawyer.
