I've worked in the trenches with many witness, sometimes through the night and into the next morning to secure this chain. To suggest they knew about this and are lying about not knowing about it is ridiculous, IMO. At this point, I'm not even sure how much of the Steemit, inc team knew about it.

I hope we speculate less and educate more. Our thinking has to be fact-based right now if we want a good outcome.
