Did Ned just pull a fast one on Justin? Justin really should have done his homework regarding Steem and DPOS blockchains in general.

The sad part is that those exchanges were dragged into this scandal that could have been avoided by proper full disclosure of information between the parties in the transaction.

But powering up clients' Steem tokens to help out Justin is definitely not good business practice on the part of those exchanges. And Justin should have really done his research regarding Steemit Inc. the Steem blockchain and the Steem roadmap documents before acquiring it for a quick flip and profit.
