15/20 old-running witnesses updated stealthily after a private meeting. Freezing SteemIt Inc. accounts. With no respect for private property whatsoever.
Not true. I discussed private property directly here as did other witnesses, stake holders, developers, and app developers in their individual posts on this topic: What is property? Is it defined by consensus?
It's safe to assume that the coins would never have been unfrozen. After all, once you get used to power, it's hard to let it go. This belief is reinforced by how some of the organizers of 22.2 reacted to its success.
It's not safe to assume when others, like myself, directly stated it would be temporary. For you to assume that, you're also calling those who put this announcement liars: https://peakd.com/steem/@softfork222/soft-fork-222 which also says it's temporary.
The one who has lied, repeatedly, is Justin Sun (or people who work for him) continually doing something opposite of what is said.
The steemit staff didn't lose their jobs as if they got fired. They quit. Have you even talked to them directly? It seems like you're telling a narrative that doesn't fit the facts in this regard. If you're over Steem and Hive and you're going to do your own blockchain, that's fine. This is all voluntary, but please don't call people like myself a liar but suggesting what was said wasn't the truth. I got my answer as to Justin's intentions and that could have been done over a phone call, not a sybil attack. I would have known then it's time to support those creating Hive and move on.
Also you should read my latest blog post (about the dtube node), it talks about witnesses which you are part of.

Your word has no weight, neither others. If you wanted it to be temporary, it would have been temporary in the chain code, which it was not. So it was not temporary. Demands for Justin Sun were coming in, in exchange for unlocking the funds. Technically it was ransoming.
