First of all, I did not ask for a ransom. I would not call it a ransom. It was a severance pay for allowing the hives to take ownership of the tipbots in expense of 5M coins. Ransom would be when you kidnap someone and you say you won't release them unless a ransom is paid. I did not kidnap anyone. I already have had full ownership of social media accounts such as smartbot on steemit and smarttipbot on Twitter. But I couldn't post or say what I wanted to say. Everytime I said something the founders didn't like, I was told to be careful what I say or delete that, etc... such as what I said about Ben Swann on Telegram. So I decided to finally leave. The ownership of the tipbots were themselves a leverage just like 5M voting power. I was not going to trade my power and leverage for nothing. I never said I'm going to steal the community funds if the founders don't pay me 5M, did I? They wanted me to give up my power and leverage in exchange of nothing. Now what if they gave me the 5M and took my leverage with tipbots? Then I would have 5M more voting power even if I didn't give any of it to someone else as I say in my post I planned to. It would still be less power in the hands of the founders vs. more power in the hands of someone like me who happens to disagree with some of their views and decisions. ALSO, I did not have to write this to defend myself. After rejecting my offer, they actually begged me a few times to not write anything "negative" and they would also not write anything negative about me so your argument that I am now just trying to defend myself is baseless. Even after posting this which I posted after they went public about me, I once again received a message from JuicyG telling me to delete my post and he would delete his post about me as long as I give them full ownership of the tipbots. But I refused because now that I can't have the 5M voting power, I want to exercise the leverage I have through tipbots. And what was their response? Ban the tipbot from their servers and not return the funds they took. They want full ownership of the tipbots and their social media accounts to maintain their influence. It's not about anyone stealing the community funds. That's all just a bunch of lies they are spreading to make themselves look good and make me look like the bad guy.
