Bounded public acquisition, Nova. Read retained tegmark-lightcone-followup.md, FLI workstream notes, source-ledger entries S010/S011/S033 and campaign-plan section7. No outreach, spend or publication. This packet adds an original 2025 audit and identifies a precise Swiss governing-document frontier. Candidate records use prefix w2-fli.
The reserve-to-operations transfer continues into 2025. The newly recovered [full FLI 2025 audit](http[local research file] issued 16 June 2026, reports $45,197,838 of grants received from Lightcone Foundation (Note6, printed p12 / PDF14). Total contributions were $45,234,659 (printed p4 / PDF6). Their difference is $36,821, reconciling arithmetically with the website’s approximately $37,000 fundraising figure. Lightcone supplied 99.9186% of contributions (own calculation). The audit is FLI standalone, not a consolidated affiliate/endowment roll-forward. It also records contractual cost sharing: $959,308 due from FLF and $430,343 due to FLF at year-end; these are reciprocal balances, not two new donations. The audit’s $46,191,762 expense and $5,794,889 marketing/communications totals substantiate the website’s rounded figures. This remains a 2025 accounting state.
The [FLI finance page](http[local research file] read fresh, separates limited fundraising from the endowment-funded difference. It asserts that Buterin’s contribution was unconditional and he lacks a decision role. The arithmetic now explains the apparent discrepancy between small new fundraising and large audited contributions; it does not independently establish original gift conditions or rights. The [German register](http[local research file] updated 30 June 2026, reports Lightcone support in a €38.460–38.470 million band, describing it as unrestricted. Do not add this differently denominated disclosure to the audited dollar receipt or assume an exact conversion without its method.
The entity identified is Future of Life Institute Europe, Swiss foundation CHE-450.633.132, commercial register CH-660.1.343.022-6, Geneva. [Moneyhouse’s reproduction of the founding Swiss Gazette notice](http[local research file] publication HR01-1005455911, 21 April 2022, records a deed dated 11 April 2022 and registration on 14 April 2022. It names Jaan Tallinn as chair, Anthony Nicholas Aguirre, Mihaela Chita-Tegmark, Anna Béatrice Ramsay Fihn and Max Erik Tegmark as board members, each with joint signature by two. ECHO SA is auditor. Its “six management persons” display includes that corporate auditor; it is not evidence of six human trustees.
The reproduced notice mentions a founder’s reserved purpose-modification right under Article86a. It does not name the founder in that passage or reveal appointment/removal, distribution-vote or dissolution clauses. A joint-signature rule is not itself a grant-approval rule. The full deed and current statutes were not recovered; treat these as transfer-era facts from a registry reproduction, not certified-current governance.
An [official Gazette notice mirrored by LIXT](http[local research file] HR02-1005510667, 1 July 2022, confirms the same legal name/UID and identifies the Federal Department of Home Affairs as supervisor. This one-page original-format notice was captured. Supervision is not evidence of government funding or editorial direction.
The [original FLI 2022 Form990](http[local research file] was captured and re-read. ScheduleN, PDF49, reports $180,297,079 of cash/financial assets transferred to Future of Life Institute Europe on 30 December 2022. It says Tegmark, Aguirre, Chita-Tegmark and Tallinn were directors of all three transferees before and after the transfers. This establishes transfer-era overlap, not the power to appoint successors. ScheduleO, PDF51, reproduces the US Institute’s amended purpose supporting Future of Life Foundation, EIN88-0926067. Lightcone Foundation is separately identified by EIN92-0636259. No link to Lightcone Infrastructure/LessWrong is inferred.
The US filing uses a Geneva correspondence address different from the Swiss registered office. Exact name, jurisdiction and overlapping named governors support matching the Swiss entity; a recipient-side receipt/accounting statement would directly close that reconciliation. The register date should not be replaced by the Gazette publication date.
No inspected public source supplies FLI Europe’s standalone 2022 closing balance, subsequent investment returns, external distributions, interaffiliate transfers and closing reserves through 2025. Accordingly do not subtract the Lightcone-to-FLI receipt from Europe’s $180.297 million or treat it as that money returning. Those are different legal entities. The US audit names “Future of Life Europe” among related organisations but gives no Europe balance or received grant in its Note6 table; that is not evidence of zero European activity.
Two records now define the narrow frontier. First, the 11 April 2022 deed and current statutes for CHE-450.633.132, including amendments, identify the founder and appointment, distribution, purpose-change and dissolution powers. [Geneva’s official guidance](http[local research file] says its free registry search can expose statute PDFs for relevant post-November2007 filings. It does not establish that this foundation’s complete instrument is online. The specific search route is http[local research file] . A certified copy or physical dossier is a separate paid route; no order was made.
Second, seek FLI Europe’s signed 2022–25 financial statements with investment and related-party schedules, plus the 30 December2022 transfer acceptance/resolution. The foundation board/finance function holds these; ECHO SA is the publicly identified transfer-era auditor. The federal supervisor is another potential holder, with access eligibility to be assessed before any official request. A voluntary holder request is available without inventing an entitlement. These distinguish an independently administered reserve from centrally appointable affiliates or legally restricted assets. None of those models requires the original donor to retain command.
The official legacy SHAB links for the two named notices returned web cache misses. The July notice’s public mirror was a successful substitute; the founding notice remains a third-party registry reproduction. A direct Moneyhouse capture returned403 and was not saved; web-rendered contents were inspected. An exploratory Zefix URL with an unverified numeric identifier returned InternalError and was not treated as an entity record.
Geneva’s JavaScript registry returned no text to the web extractor. The browser then explicitly denied access because its admin-enforced security policy could not be verified. That route was stopped without workaround or bypass; no page inside the denied registry was inspected. This is a browser security-policy failure, not an automatic approval-review rejection and not proof that the deed is unavailable. Existing lawful sources and the independently recovered audit carry the deliverable.
Captured files and hashes are recorded in the candidate source metadata. The 2022 return capture succeeded; its first console print encountered Unicode encoding trouble, resolved by reading the saved PDF with ASCII-safe output. PDF extraction was targeted to financial and governance pages; no new visual table inspection is claimed. Documents issued by the same organisation and their registry copies are one underlying origin, not independent confirmation. Broader current affiliate boards, gift instruments and consolidated reserves remain unverified.
