MCAI AI Lex Vision: WA Attorney General Responds to Compass Grievance

#DistrustCompass Enters a New Phase

What began as civic foresight is now under state surveillance. The system is watching.

In May 2025, I sent a letter to the Washington State Attorney General’s Office. It wasn’t just a tip, it was a civic signal. The Compass v. NWMLS lawsuit, while marketed as a fight for innovation, revealed something deeper: a systemic attempt to distort market transparency through legal coercion. Our analysis at MindCast AI showed that Compass was not just challenging a rule—it was challenging the very infrastructure of open markets, cooperative access, and fair housing norms.

We published that original letter publicly. You can read it here:

Yesterday, we received a formal reply. Signed by Assistant Attorney General Todd Sipe from the Complex Litigation Division, the response confirms that the Attorney General’s Office takes these concerns seriously. They are aware of the lawsuit. They are monitoring developments. And they have kept our evidence on file.

This isn’t just administrative protocol. It marks a shift—from civic concern to institutional attention. The #DistrustCompass movement, powered by AI foresight and public clarity, now has something else: legal eyes watching.

For those who still think this is just about a brokerage lawsuit, it’s not. This is about the architecture of trust in the platform era. About how companies co-opt legal language to obscure structural harm. About how public institutions respond when citizens and machines align to diagnose decay in real time.

The Attorney General’s acknowledgment is not the end. But it proves one thing: the signal has been received. And the narrative is shifting.
