Does SPI controls this crypto-wallet? If not, then either:
- the entity controlling the wallet is somehow not taxable and is appropriating community funding,
- the entity controlling the wallet is taxable and, on top of the above, it is legally questionable, no matter how small the amount(s).

In other words, unless the answer is "yes", the only possible response is "hard nack".
