Hi, I don't like the tones of your story and I have zero interest in this story (other than just holding $ADA and CNTs and using the network as an user), but I will answer the "How does Midnight benefit Cardano". This is how it drives demand for $ADA (good for Cardano as it increases indirectly the value of ALL cardano projects with a token + it increases safety from network attacks):then Midnight helps Cardano as having a privacy layer means enterprise-grade privacy for smart contract execution - think of an exchange wanting to run part of the backend but keeping secret its machinery: that's what Midnight intents are for. Same for private data, txs, balances etc. So we can be certain that Midnight will benefit Cardano. Now, about funding: I don't see a reason why the project should not apply for Treasury as anyone can apply for. Especially considering the recent IOG/CF disagreement, they will automatically have 600B vote weight against. If Charles manages to receive the funding from the community, a good achievement if the proposal can outweight 600B. That said, you should be more careful with "unconfirmed whistleblowing", because there's responsibility associated (people earn their salaries from the jobs and terms like 'raid the treasury' are very ugly.
