FOUNDERS

  • Damon Lawner

    Damon is the creator of SNCTM, the world’s most exclusive erotic club—a masked, cinematic experience that redefined luxury nightlife and became a lightning rod for curiosity and controversy. His visionary approach to storytelling and taboo made headlines in Playboy, Vanity Fair, and Esquire, and inspired a movement that blurred the lines between performance, intimacy, and identity. In his upcoming memoir EYES WIDE OPEN, Lawner unmasked the man behind the myth, tracing a path through trauma, transcendence, and reinvention.

    After SNCTM, he launched a series of provocative ventures—each one an experiment in experience and personal transformation. Sex Weed offered a sensual twist on cannabis culture. Puzzle became a secret supper club on Sunset, reserved for those in the know. Elysian House was a hedonistic fever dream of pleasure and performance. Across each project, Lawner explored the edges of freedom, desire, and design—inviting his audience to witness, to feel, and to question.

    Now, with FYM—short for “Fuck You Money”—Lawner enters the digital age, not with a coin, but with a symbol. A new language. A cultural artifact for those who’ve outgrown permission and want to own their narrative. FYM is the next phase of his evolution: bold, unfiltered, and rooted in the belief that true value isn’t just what you hold—it’s what you stand for. It’s a rebellion against the old guard, a movement for those who seek to build wealth and experiences grounded in ethics, truth, and morality—not rug pulls or get-rich-quick schemes. Through FYM, The Legion and The Echelon are not just communities; they are the embodiment of a new era of decentralized power and unapologetic freedom.

  • Freddy Del Barrio

    He currently serves as an investor and advisor to several high-growth ventures, including LEVA, SpaceX (secondary markets), and Autograph, while also contributing as a board member at Tankproof, a nonprofit focused on youth empowerment through swimming education.

    With FYM—short for “Fuck You Money”—del Barrio brings his global investment acumen into the Web3 arena, not to speculate, but to build. Leveraging decades of high-level capital deployment and principled deal-making, Freddy anchors FYM with a level of strategic rigor rarely seen in meme coin culture. For him, this isn’t about hype—it’s about redefining wealth through integrity, community, and permanence. FYM is the convergence of discipline and rebellion, a vehicle for those who seek financial sovereignty without sacrificing ethics. Through The Legion and The Echelon, Freddy helps transform FYM into more than a coin—it becomes an ecosystem for long-term value, personal evolution, and cultural transformation.
