Thanks @jonmaim and I hope you are right.
That would make sense, and in order to make it impossible to track, they'd need to transfer it to an exchange before transferring it back to private accounts.
It still creates a lot of fear, uncertainty and doubt since it's impossible to know if that's the true story, but I think that is generally what happens during bear markets, especially with struggling startups like @steemit.
P.S. @therealwolf is right though... We probably need a public statement.
