Let me tell you what is going on.

Especially the supporters of Hive account@kingscrown and people who proxy to him. He is running a business on hive, using you. Here is the the way KC works:

1. He keeps a small about of stake HP (SP in the old days) in his account.
2. He lease about 200K delegation
3. That delegations typically have a 12% payment, which he must pay weekly
4. He must post enough so that he can make the delegation payment plus some profit
5. At lower prices it is very hard to do; so he resort to more and more posting
6. When people complain about this reward pool abuse, he goes to multiple witnesses and threatened them that he will un-vote them. As he has a lot of people to proxy their vote
7. He does not normally plagiarize; or post complete junk, so he is immune to hive-watcher or other rule based abuse fighting system
8. He is similar to dobartim in terms of circle and self votes; but smarter and not a loner

KC is here for a while, so feels entitled and he knows his way around. So he think his business will go on....

He has about 1086189368.545372 VESTS proxied to him, which translates to about 555780.539 HP. This is not his stake. IT IS STAKE PROXIED TO HIM.

Now this may not be a complete figure, as there could be more proxy to those existing proxy. But whatever that is it is not much. He is using this proxied HP to blackmail witnesses.

He says "vote KC or he will un-vote his proxied vote from witnesses" .

If this is not blackmail, I do not know what is. Question is:

Can we allow this to happen in Hive?

My own HP is higher than all his proxy combined. So I am also willing to support all small players with my HP, as long as you do not spam. Since I do not post much and not here for profit, I can support you much better.

So as a true capitalist, let us take business away from Hive account@kingscrown

As you can see from the images above. So far Hive account@kingscrown have siphoned 200K plus HP (SP back in the day) from the reward pool. And he self-votes at 20%, from his own account. He has many other accounts too.

I tried to be reasonable with him, and asked him to minimize his 'milking' activities many times before, but in vain. Now community has all the facts, you decide who is "blackmailing".

I do not like to post a lot. So I do not plan on commenting after this. But one typical thing KC does (yeah, I have known him for a while) is points out who else is doing what. That is not the point KC. Two wrongs do not make you right.

PS: Oh! KC, I still didn't downvote this shitpost of yours. Maybe I should. What do you think?

Addendum

Accounts currently Proxy to Hive account@kingscrown for witness votes

Thanks Asher for helping with the data!

KC acts in such a way that there are million HP proxied to him. As you can see on the list that it is a lie. Lots of them are old defunct accounts, and a whole bunch of them are just HIM :)

As you can see it tapers of real quick.

So, my request to any people on this list:

Why proxy your witness vote to a scammer?

Feel free to remove it. You can keep it to yourself, or you can proxy them to me. I am non-profit and not running any business in hive. I will be honored to take care of your witness voting. Thank you!
