Please! Give us back our witnesses! You have done wrong and you know it.
It is a shame that now you must do crisis-management. What is going on now is bad for everyone concerned. I am sorry that you were sold a company by a confidence man (@ned). I feel for you, I really do. I ask, Why are you punishing us? Our witnesses were just trying to protect us from what you have already done. Your current actions have cemented the righteousness of the actions of our original consensus witnesses.
Please look into the possibility of arbitration by a non-interested third party from the crypto space. John McAffee has been suggested by some. If not him, maybe someone that can be agreed upon by everyone.
