Developer Lawyer Fees

I believe that the Monero dev team, and high profile Monero supporters will, if Monero continues to be successful, be attacked. By governments and or public prosecutors around the world. There are various ways of sabotaging the project, however threats of jail time are real and immediate. To this end, I propose setting up a fund whereby a select few people will be able to withdraw from (albeit only in order to pay for the services of a lawyer).
I would personally donate one xmr to start the fund.

If anyone else thinks this is a good idea or a bad one, speak up please.

If anyone is a lawyer, it would be great to hear an opinion on feasibility of a project such as this.

Actually that's not at all what I was thinking. I was thinking more of a retainer for a group of (non-anonymous) defense lawyers or lawyers who would allocate money towards other lawyers. (Yes, I now that's a bit of a circle jerk). A system such as that, however, would eliminate the prosecution and/or discrimation of a core few trusted monero members. Because these members would be the ones to be put under the crosshairs.

Hey, I'm not saying that I agree with the way that the world works if you want to stay out of a cage.
And I'm not trolling as you obviously are. And that's kind of what I'm talking about. Eventually, like bitcoin, it will be difficult to tell who in the community is trolling for fun and who is trolling because they're paid to sabotage the project. I hope you are successful in all you do, and I hope that you do great things, flyup.

I guess I am kind of a troll. If you think lawyers are going to save us from government tyranny then you are worse than a troll. You are a fool.
