2 things:

1. I am ecstatic that you used the word "you're" instead of "your". This type of genius is uncommon on the internet.

2. I think is the best thing that could have happened to Steem. If the Steem community really just wanted to be rid of those built hive and those who...were included for unknown reasons, then they have done that. Now, they can go on about their business.

At this point, or the point in which bittrex gives the funds back to the account holders, everybody should be squared up. Justin has his funds to use unfettered in governance of Steem. The old witnesses and a few randoms have their Steem to do as they wish. Seems like a good point to make the clean break that many seemed to hope for.
