I'm honestly not sure if someone has keys to that account or not. @blocktrades, if I recall correctly, was the original leader of implementing the dao project back on Steem. Hopefully they can provide a bit of clarity on this.

As far as I'm aware, @steem.dao is a purely automated system, with no human at the controls.

@blocktrades is one of the few that I actually have some respect for and trust in so perhaps it is all in good hands.

Kind of hard to know without any official word on it. It mostly being omitted from all the Hive announcements before and after the launch makes it incredibly suspicious.
