It's weird they are so upset about not getting an airdrop on a new chain they really didn't want to participate in. Rather than act like they wanted the Hive, they just kept acting worse and worse.
The IRS has already clarified that airdrops are considered the creation of a new asset class and legacy wallet holders own it if they have control of it in their wallet. Since Hive never gave them control and made it clear this was the case, they do not own it. Plain and simple.
With Steem on the other hand, the freezing was bad, but simply escalation, what they are doing now is outright theft. They are all now hiding their involvement in the Steem blockchain. Thieves be thieving. It will be interesting to see it all recorded on the blockchain.
Participate no, dump yes. The same people who are witnesses there now have been raping the Steem pool for up to the last 4 years.
Yes, and at some point - someone will go to jail for it.
