Also, we cannot blame him for something @ned did or didn't do. How does this make sense? Did we even know for sure that Justin knew about Ned's agreement?

First, they signed a Non-Disclosure-Agreement, so they'll both never tell.

Second,

Crypto Briefing reached out to Ned Scott about the move by Tron. Surprisingly, the former CEO seemed supportive of the action by Justin Sun, saying that “witnesses/portion of the community literally stole its [Steemit Inc’s] coins [which is demonstrably false, nobody "stole coins", they only hobbled Sun's "voting-power"]. Steemit owed them nothing.” He continued, “Steemit owes no one anything and anything else is grasping at straws / bullying to get your way/power… Fact: no pre mine, no investors.”

The Steem community was outraged by Scott’s comments, saying that over Steem’s four-year history that the founder had promised [apparently a non-binding verbal agreement] that these coins would be used to “decentralize” and wouldn’t be used in voting.

Yeah, I figured we will never truly know what was or wasn't said between Ned and Justin. Having said that how can we form any conclusions either way about what was said?

We can know what they said because CEO's are simple ego-powered machines that are only interested in two things.

(1) MAKE MORE MONEY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE

(2) HUMILIATE COMPETITORS

We can know what they said because NOBODY (especially a CEO) would buy a property unless they could (EITHER) MAKE MORE MONEY QUICKLY (OR) HUMILIATE COMPETITORS.

We can know what they said because NOBODY (especially a CEO) would buy a property in order to "help build a community of idealistic rapscallions who believe in decentralized governance".

CEO = EXECUTIVE POWER = CENTRALIZED CONTROL

"Decentralized Governance" is anathema to their very existence on all levels.

CEO will crush anyone who questions them.
