Yes, Justin Sun enabled the fraudulent witnesses to steal 23.6M steem in a hard fork.

It's a tale as old as time, "bad people" don't deserve basic human rights, including their right to hold private property.
And, the accused are presumed GUILTY until "proven" innocent, because "bad people" don't deserve anything resembling a "fair trial" or a "transparent process".
SECRECY = CENSORSHIP
COPYRIGHT = CENSORSHIP
It is a shame that people persist in being dishonest.
I can read only read this far
As soon as I read distortions like that I am done reading any more.
Which part of that quote do you believe is inaccurate?
What I found shocking is that they're still stealing steem from accounts, and in all likelihood will continue as long as they can get away with it.
I'm abandoning ship.
Following our hearts and minds is the best any of us can do.
I disagree with the presented official narrative and time line. They completely ignore the unprovoked hostile actions taken directly against Steemit.inc and Sun.
The moral high ground may need to be occupied before claiming it. Solid ground is good.
Claiming that Sun acted first is a misrepresentation of facts. It is unnecessary, if they had some evidence in support of their stated fears, they should share it or start being a little more accurate with their narrative.
Good point, but even if jsun was "wronged", it doesn't justify stealing (not just freezing) crypto accounts.
Just because someone punched you in the face without provocation, doesn't mean you're justified in running around punching everyone you dislike.
This has moved far beyond simply "an eye for an eye".
They are full of shit, they even went after accounts that didn't do any transactions in over 2 years.
I'm suggesting that YOU should use Benford's Law to identify fraudulent accounts and fraudulent voting patterns.
This is a fraud fighting tool.
Benford's law has been used to identify fake accounts on twitter by collecting the number of followers of suspicious accounts and then collecting the number of followers each of those followers has and running that as a data-set against Benford's law.
I think something like that would be very useful for HIVE.
And as far as timing votes for profit, I believe all votes should be equally weighted no matter who votes or what time they vote.
The "band-wagon" votes are toxic (gamified for profit only).
AND, when I first joined, there was a view counter. The consensus on why it was taken away was due to complaints POB was dead and posts with hundred(s) of votes only had like 3 or 4 views. From bidbots to autovoters it was obvious most of the highest paid posts received very few actual eyes on them. LINK
That creates a different set of incentives as well. As in, there would be little point to "curate" as you earn exactly what you get regardless if it's crap or not. There needs to be more to it than simply "equal weight".
It's a super useless feature when multiple frontends existing in our ecosystem. It was more useful when Steemit was the sole and major frontend. Now, try to make sense of that "page view" by mixing in PeakD, Ecency, different tribe frontends, etc.
How does incentivizing early votes INCREASE fairness?
Aren't there already armies of downvoters weeding out "low quality content"?
ANY page counter is better than NO page counter.
Imagine youtube with no view counter. I routinely find videos with thousands of views but only 3 or 4 votes.
And speaking of that, there is zero cost and zero incentive for youtube votes. And yet, strangely enough, people still vote.
Nice.
