Are you sure? He's #35 and still has @freedom/@pumpkin vote. As well as many other large ones.
He wouldn't be #35 otherwise.
But to me, Jerry is a scammer and having his name up in the witness ranks is bad for Steem. Especially since he is actively slandering Steem off the chain.
I'm sure he was not the only one that bought votes. But you can be sure that is not going to happen as long as I have control. If he does I'll shut it down.
You already have the benefit of those bought votes, regardless I will not stand by while Jerry Banfield's name climbs the witness ranks again while off chain he is slandering Steem. He has said himself "I have been banned by almost every website I have been active in" and has proven himself to be shady time and time again.
That fact you are ok with that for around 400 Steem/month is disturbing.
Well if @jrswab is running the witness account @jerrybanfield by default @jrswab is supporting whatever the @jerrybanfield account posts to the chain, right? Like proxy posting by default?

Hardly, would privex agree with everything the numerous witnesses that run servers there create?
Not sure are they members of Steemit on this blockchain or service providers for internet type services?
Both
The fact that he was not the only one doesn't make it right anyways.
I agree that it does not make it right but the votes still happened and at least he was honest enough to talk about it.
Yet you support nextgencrypto (aka berniesanders) as a witness? Wow.
Enjoy writing posts and comments that nobody will ever see!!
