PRFC-16: Burn 12M $PLS from defunct vesting contract

Overview

There are 12M PLS in 0x00e314654ba860c7146e1a973590f16a67e19624 which is labeled as "defunct team vester" in the transparency report which was published before setting the vote on the fate of the protocol.

These 12M $PLS tokens also are deducted from circulating supply in calculations both internally and in e.g. coingecko.

The vester contract doesn't allow to retrieve the tokens because it checks against whether the retreived token is checked against ths pls contract and reverts with "token = underlying"

function retrieve(IERC20 _token) external onlyOwner {
    require(_token != pls, 'token = underlying'); <-- reverts if retrieval is attempted

    if (address(this).balance > 0) {
      payable(owner()).transfer(address(this).balance);
    }

    _token.transfer(owner(), _token.balanceOf(address(this)));
  }

Proposal

Because the tokens are not considered circulating, they are not retrievable, and they are referred to as being in a "defunct vester" we propose to burn the 12M tokens in the contract to show a concrete reduction in potential conversions to $PLUTUS by reducing the total and maximum supply of PLS from 100M to 88M.
