Hello @timecliff
Yeah I was kinda excited when about a new owner for Steemit, right up until I found out who bought Steemit. I was already aware of Justin's methods as I know a few people that were into Tron. If you look at what he did over at Tron and how it was done you will see the same BS in play here.
