Not directly. Case in point: if the AFO were obligated via a FINE to destroy one of its notes, would every single member of its basis would be individually obligated to also destroy one of eir notes? The only way I can be prosecuted is if the AFO violated the AAA agreement. Where does it say that the AFO violated the AAA agreement, just because my action would have done so had I been a party? I am not a member of the AAA. I am not treated as a member of the AAA due to being in the AFO; you could argue that for a partnership that allowed only me to manipulate "my" holdings, but here there is nothing but courtesy stopping the other members of the AAA from manipulating the holdings I transferred to it as they see fit. Since I am not a party to the AAA, by CFJ 1686, I categorically cannot violate the AAA agreement. The statement that "creating proposals or CFJs... is a breach of this contract." is not always true; something can only be a breach of the contract if a party to the AAA performs it. To regulate my PERSONAL action, the AAA must explicitly require that parties to the AAA SHALL ensure that their bases' PERSONAL actions follow the terms of the contract. It could say exactly this, or it could say that harvesting a CFJ created in such an 'evil' manner is illegal, but it does not. Repeal partnerships if you insist... but doing it because of this is a bit short-sighted, because I could have made an agreement with anyone wherein I give em all my stuff, I leave the AAA, I initiate some evil CFJs, I join, e gives me my stuff back. Perhaps I'd have to give a VP, if nobody felt like doing me a favor, but that's about all the difference it would have made. By the way, I think it's debatable whether there is even an inequity: everyone in the AAA has an equal chance to harvest the CFJs that I created.
