Everyone already knows (actually, probably still many that don't) that and
and
have been involved in a theft and misdirection scandal over the last week or so. And everyone wants answers. However, in this case,
is not the party to use to seek a solution.
Okay..... I am not yet a member of the team. My guess is that Steemcleaners have received 10 or more
reports in the last 48 hours. I am just going out on a limb here that when people get wronged, they will shout to anyone even remotely seeming to have some ability or duty to stop Scams and Bad behaviour.
Ergo, Steemcleaners are the Steemit Police.... they must be able to help me. No, sorry friend. In this case it is up to larger whales, members of and other 'friends' and associates of
to work on making this right.
I do hope the resolution is swift. It is never good to have money stolen or lost.
This event does open up some additional questions about LARGE Steemit Paid Services. Any place where lots of money is moving, there is the chance for scammy behaviour. Best be careful. Best to never spend more than what you can afford to lose. AND best for the community to look at this action and the circumstances to decide if LARGE vote bots are putting TOO much power into one person's hands.
Again, the better solution here seems to be Curation Guilds. Independent Curation Agents. And cheap SP delegations (OR FREE) to those that are doing good work in rewarding small and "unfound" talents that are bringing quality and status to the Steemit platform. Stop paying for upvotes. Upvotes are supposed to be a result of producing good content, not a result of buying them yourself for self promotion. Self promotion should be done through meeting people and tactful, respectful mentions of your own Posts.
Hoping this all works out in the end. I do truly hope all that have steem in bellyrubbank do get all of it back!
Thx
