Congratulations Ned, You Beautiful Bastard

After listening to the aftermath of the witnesses and the various communities I am a part of, the clear winner here is Hive account@ned.

He survived the ninja-mine scandal. He survived Hive account@dan leaving to start EOS and get bogged down in legal and technical troubles. He survived the spork conversation, which is probably what led directly to the sale of Stinc to Hive account@justinsunsteemit.

Obviously, I don't know the details of the payments or structure, but he's the one walking away Scott free (see what I did there).

So, congrats! You've played your hand well.
