Crown Letter: Craig Newmark Infrastructure Chancellor — Liana Banyan Corporation (Offered) February 2026 Dear Mr. Newmark, You helped reinvent classifieds online, and then spent years funding journalism to support what was disrupted. That tells me you understand that building something useful can also create gaps — and that builders have responsibilities. As a child living in Africa with missionary parents, I saw how basic infrastructure like a clean water well could transform a community. Not because water was new, but because better systems changed what problems were even possible. I’ve spent 42 years thinking about cooperative economics — since sixth grade, when my floating cities project back in the States made the local paper under the headline “Wave of the Future.” ...

Crown Letter: Michael Seibel CEO — Liana Banyan Corporation (Offered) February 9, 2026 Mr. Seibel, Liana Banyan is a Cost + 20% cooperative marketplace and product-funding incubator where creators, workers, and backers keep 83.3% and the margin is constitutionally locked. I’ve spent nine years building something the startup world would call impossible — a cooperative commerce platform that can’t enshittify — and it’s ready for operational leadership. I don’t want to be CEO. I want to build, invent, solve problems. I’m structurally building this so the CEO role is a professional, accountable seat from day one — not a title I cling to out of ego. That’s why I’m writing to you. ...

No Intrinsic Value: Blockchain Without Coin or Speculation Crown Letter: Tom Simon CFO — Liana Banyan Corporation (Offered) February 9, 2026 Mr. Simon, I watched your segment on the Reed Morin Show where you said crypto isn’t a currency — it’s garbage because it isn’t tied to anything real. I’m paraphrasing, but the point landed. I’ve been saying the same thing for nine years while building a cooperative platform, and I’ve never heard an expert with your credentials state it that plainly. You described most crypto as unbacked gambling chips; I’ve spent nine years trying to design the opposite. ...

Cardboard Boots: An Open Letter to MacKenzie Scott Dear Ms. Scott, I don’t want your money. I’m asking for something far more valuable: your reputation. I’ve built a public, community-owned safety net of sixteen charitable initiatives designed to sustain themselves far beyond our lifetimes — focused on economic mobility, food security, and cooperative healthcare for people who experience the sharpest side of inequality — and I’m seeking a word from you to experienced leaders in your network who could help them succeed at scale. I’ve hand-picked leaders in each field whom I’m asking—Michael Seibel for CEO, Tom Simon (26-year FBI forensic accountant) for CFO, Sal Khan for education, José Andrés for food security—because I pray for potatoes at the end of a hoe handle, but your endorsement would exponentially multiply every ask I make. ...
