Blockchain-based protocol, Compound Finance is under scrutiny after Proposal 289 narrowly passed by a vote of 682,191 to 633,636. This proposal allocates 499,000 COMP tokens, worth around $24 million, from the protocol’s treasury to a yield-bearing protocol designed by the “Golden Boys” for a year. 
The proposal’s approval has sparked accusations of a governance attack. Critics allege that a small group manipulated the voting process by acquiring large amounts of COMP tokens on the open market. Michael Lewellen, a security advisor for Compound, pointed out connections between these token acquisitions and the Golden Boys’ proposals.

Several community members, including Wintermute Governance, Columbia Blockchain, Penn Blockchain, and StableLab, have raised concerns. They question whether the “Trust Setup” for the investment truly prevents the diversion of funds, as claimed by Humpy, the apparent leader of the Golden Boys. 
Humpy defended the proposal, stating that the “Trust Setup” includes safeguards against misappropriation of funds. However, Wintermute’s governance account noted that any withdrawal actions would be controlled by the Golden Boys’ multisig, not by Compound DAO itself. 
Bryan Colligan, Compound’s growth team CEO, criticized the proposal, arguing that there are better opportunities available with higher returns. Meanwhile, the price of COMP tokens has <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/compound/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dropped nearly 7%</a> following the proposal’s passage. 
Humpy’s involvement in similar controversies in the past, including conflicts with Balancer and SushiSwap, has added to the concerns. Humpy was accused of using governance processes for personal gain, a pattern that seems to be repeating with Compound Finance. 
As the debate continues, the future of Compound’s governance and the integrity of its processes remain in question.
