Ondo Finance co-founder and CEO Nathan Allman died suddenly this summer at 32, leaving the tokenization platform with zero sitting directors.
Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos lays out the Delaware lawsuit that followed, pitting Allman's mother against the company's ousted president, and why the "hit by a bus" scenario belongs on every startup's checklist.
Vy Le connects it to DeFi's own succession blind spots, from multisig signers to emergency councils.
