Not a rumour. You can check on steemworld. @Ned sold almost 2,000,000 steem last few weeks. @Steemit2 transfered 4,000,000 to @Alpha and @Alpha is unloading this through daily transfers to Bittrex of 20,000-200,000 steem every day during the last 2 months. I agree that it is good for redistribution ....
