Why am I not surprised this is down to Ned.
This place isn't much good if he who has the most (access to) STEEM has the most power to do whatever they want. Not much different to Facebook really. Even if he returns things to normal, now we know what he can do, any time he likes. Which doesn't seem to bode well for the future.
Negotiations are still set to take place in a few days and there are ways that this can be resolved in a win-win for all. That said, it has always been true that STEEM can be taken over in such a way.
