Ethereum's leading developer has resigned, citing legal concerns 

Yoshie Hirai has resigned from his post as lead developer of Ethereum fearing that controversial decision EIP 867 may be a violation of criminal law. We are talking about the EIP 867 solution , a proposal that defines a method for returning the lost funds to the platform.

On GitHub, the developer wrote : 

"Some EIP developers carefree about the legal consequences of this project, but I warned them and I can not do anything else but to warn them. I am resigning from my position as developer of the EIP". 

In comments Hirai explained that this EIP can be regarded as a violation of the Japanese law "on unauthorized creation of electromagnetic records". 

"I have doubts due to the fact that if the proposal is implemented in practice, this will not be provided for the offense," — he added. 

The law referenced by Hirai, says of cases of fraud in the field of computer SOFTWARE, in particular to the creation of these "with the purpose of unjustified interference in the Affairs of other persons". 

Last week, Hirai spoke out against this proposal, stating that it is inconsistent with the "philosophy of #Ethereum" and thus violates the basic principles of integration of new code, written in EIP-1. 

He later added, "I was able to turn a blind eye to my own interpretation of Ethereum philosophy, but I can't turn a blind eye to criminal law." 

For the implementation of the EIP 867 acts developed by Dan Filter. 16 475 ETH collected by his project Musiconomi through ICO, has been frozen on purse Parity last year. 

The proposal of Filver was interpreted ambiguously, and some developers decided to consult the public. 

Up to this point, Hirai was one of the six developers of Ethereum, having the right to make decisions about changes to the platform code. According to GitHub , Hirai has been very productive in this role, making 5,219 publications over the past year.
