Interesting. Doesn’t seem like a problem if I can still use my eos to do my transactions, I don’t see the congestion’s, from a user perspective.

For the producers it may be a different story.

With EOS "stepping in" you mean Block1 announcing they will start voting for BPs?

Yea

Are you referring to the SEC fine if so some interesting articles are below.

The SEC’s meager $24 million settlement with Block.one over its $4 billion ICO has shocked the crypto industry. An agreement that sees one of the biggest ICOs ever end up paying less than 1 percent of the token sale as a fine, an amount smaller than it paid for a single web domain.

Another article that was interesting ....

EOS maker Block.One must pay $24 million in penalties for conducting an unregistered securities sale, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced Monday evening.

The SEC said in a press release that Block.One “raised the equivalent of several billion dollars” over a one-year period in an unregistered initial coin offering (ICO). (A total of $4.1 billion was raised.) Block.One agreed to settle the charges, according to the SEC.

No, that was long time ago

Yeah I know, I haven't been keeping up on much crypto news lately but I'll be interested to see the other responses so I can find out what you are referring to.

@knircky, I have to look into this subject. In my opinion biggest Blockchain Project is facing so many obstacles.

#Steem have flaws but it never stopped empowering people and time to time it improved for good and brought so many effective changes.

Have a great time ahead and stay blessed.

EOS always riddled with many controversies.

Such as , question of centralization .
Such as , EOS's block producers have large control for the chain.

Such as Eos.One , it holds 10% of total EOS tokens,
It is one of the most centralized blockchains,
Its top 100 accounts hold >70% of tokens .

New riddled with controversie is because airdrop,
At the beginning of November this year,
EOS again airdrop,
this time,
it let users were unable to participate in a vote for block producers.
So caused a bigger riddled with controversie.

But, now,
Block.One Finally Stepping In To Solve The EOS Mess.
He is ready to solve the recent EOS mess.
"Block.One" is the creator of EOS .

Mhhh. This does not explain what happened.
