I wanted to comment the same thing, but you preceded me and luckily I read your comment prior to commenting.
In addition to its connections to netuoso and plagiarizing from haejin, haejin currently votes for netuoso as a witness (2018-7-4) and I remember that he wrote that netuoso was good for him but was not specific about what did netuoso did for him.
I remember vaguely and might be wrong about it, that initially netuoso did not fancy haejin.
I also remember this:

Another matter for thought is netuoso's masonic gesture in his avatar.

What do haejin or netuoso had to gain from a downtime?
Maybe someone wanted to crash Steem's or SBD's price at a certain time.
Maybe someone wanted to recuperate his "VP".
Maybe hurt some or all of Steem renters (those paying for Steem delegations).
Maybe something else.
Maybe a combination of some or all of the above with something else.

Would VP actually recover when the blockchain is at a halt?

Good question.
IDNK, but in this case I noticed that my voting quota reached 100% and stayed there while the blockchain was down.
How did I see it?

  1. It was below 97% before the crash, and 100% after it.
  2. There were brief moments when steemd.com showed voting quota during the downtime and it showed its increase until it got to 100%

It may be time dependent only.

I left it away because it is pretty obvious and mentioned anywhere else.

I'm just afraid this is gonna start another firestorm on Steemit.

The question would be: Against whom ?
In this post I just show a suspicious connection but there could be an easy and reasonable explanation for it. As long as there is no proof about the account holder of @nijeah everything is speculation.
