I was trying to reach you earlier, had a few ideas on getting your funds cleared from a tech perspective. Unfortunately after testing the theories there's no way. Already tried everything. If you manage to get on discord I'll catch you up.
I wouldn't doxx them. The real issue isn't the top witnesses but who is controlling the top witnesses. The night of the SF there were only a few running the code, rest clearly didn't know about it. The code was the initiative of a few people, that much is clear.
The ones in darker blue are the ones running that code right off the bat. The account that makes the call of who stays in the top is https://steemd.com/@dev365 and if you look at the transactions, it went into action. That account is also the proxy for the three colluding exchanges. That's Justin Sun's account.

(edit: @darthknight, message me please, there's another update)
Even though the origin lies within a few people, anyone running this code bears responsibility for it.
But we all watched Steemit Inc ensure the code could be activated by juggling those witness votes. I've said it here already but without their involvement, none of this could have happened.
Not only juggling, their Dev365 proxy, an account knowingly attached to Steemit Inc, is voting actively for the Top20 list and not unvoting software which runs against their own "policy" of not freezing or blocking anyone.

Not denying that. This is incredibly fucked, which is why I've spent hours trying different theories and approaching it from virtually every angle I can think of.
@guiltyparties did you evaluate the proposed method by @intertia where a non-censoring witness mines in position 21 and then 1 in the next round?
I have gotten feedback on my theory. I do not understand the rationale given, but credible sources say my theory is false. I believe them, but I'd like to better understand why, at some point.
I was originally considering that myself but after sleeping on it, it won't work. It'll cause a collision and minor fork. I don't know how two one after another would act but I'm assuming the same. I'm guessing two will fork off.
Yes would love to understand more as well. Would be great if someone makes a post on exactly how these soft forks work and how consensus occurs within each round.
Good advice.
I would go one step future and suggest that OP edits his post, tells people to message him details privately and asks everyone to remove public details (at least via post edits).
Korean defamatation laws are notoriously strict. No need to be counter-sued for embarassing them.
