Hi, and first of all, thanks for your comments. However nothing you've said above justifies blocking access to his property. He paid $12,000,000 for Steemit, with that stake obviously being part of the deal.
Let's not forget that all that steem was owned by one individual before Justin, and that person quite legally sold it to him.
The witness should have listened to @timcliff, who ran a fork that didn't stop him getting his funds, but restricted his voting powers with it, which in itself is morally grey, but better than out and out theft and extortion, which is what the witnesses attempted.
