RE: ".....you're a cock-sucking Justin Sun @stephenkendal lol" ...by @carloserp-2000
Does a bank ask for "cast iron proof" when freezing accounts?
No, they have anti-money laundering laws in place and will freeze accounts for hundreds of different reasons automatically and sort out the problem later. This is exactly what we tried to do and Sun defied community consensus and attacked our government with 3 centralized exchanges. They attacked us with the stake owned by investors who didn't want to perform that action. If you can't understand why that's 1000 times worse than what we did I don't know what to tell you.
The only mistake made in this situation was Justin doubling down with the exchange attack and the constant escalation. If he had simply allowed his accounts to be frozen this situation would have been resolved already and there would have been no fork.
Truth be told, I'm absolutely ECSTATIC about how this all turned out. JSun gave us the perfect excuse to neutralize the ninjamine completely rather than forcing us to deal with it constantly hanging over our heads. The value that was created in the fork was massive and now everyone is richer for it.
I agree with this. If by some miracle, the stolen Steem gets returned to their rightful owners, then nobody will have lost anything.
ETA: except for opportunity cost.
Why should be the ninja stake the problem of JS, NED should have solved this problem earlier with community. But anyway I don´t find any sense in it because it was his company, his stake and so he must be free to do with it what he likes to, this is not a prerogative of the community but of the owner ;)
You can not claim rights for you that you´re not willing to give to others.
