Interesting finds my friend! That’s a whole lotta value for not a single post. Are they a comment whore I wonder let me see..
Went down a research hole with freedom. Tied to recovery account paladin, tied to Steem recovery and it goes on. Lots of withdrawals from those accounts!
Freedom just cashed out 5k SBD, must be nice huh?
Nice work my friend, glad someone is joining the ride. This is what a clear blockchain is for, transparency or nothing bro.
By the looks of it freedom is directly connected to the owner(s) of Steemit. Look at the recovery accounts and it creates a trail. Linked to paladin, which also has 5 other alt accounts all with 0 voting power so bot accounts. They list Steem as the recover account which then lists steemitadmin as their recovery. Circle of friends it seems.
They are all mined accounts too it seems unsure of what that means. Our accounts are not mined accounts.
You could mine early days on here, though in ned or dans words "2. We have mined the vast majority of blocks thus far and we do not attempt to hide it" Source
