Investors are now demanding that the ConstitutionDAQ team pay fees of up to half of its refund after it failed to buy a rare original copy of the U.S. constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ConstitutionDAO now faces refunds of about $40 million for 17,000 investors which it was able to raise in the Ethereum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although the group explained that the repayment of investors remains a top priority, some issues need to be taken into account, including the high fees charged for carrying out the various crypto transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since fees have to be paid to those who operate the computer systems to facilitate transactions, fees rise sporadically depending on how busy the network is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The group said on its website that it had 17,437 donors with a median donation of $206.26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High ‘gas’ fees, therefore mean that those who contributed a small donation will be hit in the search for a refund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One user testified on the Discord app that in order to get their $400 back, they had to pay $168 in gas fees to those who run the computer systems to facilitate transactions, while others simply complain that the fees were higher than they originally donated.<\/p>\n\n\n
