M8 u are bang on with the comment about users who left the platform because of disgusting despotic tyranny carried out by a certain self voting witness and supported by part of community( who happens to be receiving large votes on regular basis) circumvent voting you call it? 300$ for a one sentence post laughable.
I even considered voting for Justin hoping might be some changes to the better.(I haven't just a spectator at mo)
As to the court order on what basis?
The stake was steemits
They promised not to use it ( not legally binding anyway ) and they didn't
They sold it
Moral maybe not but this is business and law, morality has fuck all to do with it,sad but true.
As to witnesses I'm sure there are good ones there otherwise there wouldn't be so many voices from the community about them being at least temporarily ousted but I have to say that THERE job was to secure the network and if they did there job it wouldn't be possible for this to happen
RE: Review your witness votes NOW!!! Remove your votes from the following witnesses who have shut down their servers and help Steem. More than 65 mill SP is of no use at the moment.
