I've already mentioned why HF23 is different than Hive. Hive is a taxable event in the IS and HF23 isn't. This is the basis of why one was theft and the other wasn't.
never thought about this, but if this is true (an it sounds that it is) you just won this argument :D
also the fact that one account is in full control of what is going on on steem does not help them.
think @edicted commented somewhere below that @freedom stopped voting was a smart thing from his side.
the thing that manager and owner of LLC are responsible for what LLC does is true, and they could end up in jail for things they did. From what i seen in my country most of the time most blame usually goes to the manager, except in cases where manager can prove that owner knew everything that was done.
LLC just means that you can't "take" owners private house because his LLC owns you money.
Yes. I am shocked about people who think corporations can do whatever they want. They are just a 'legal person' when it comes to the account. If I break the law on your behalf, I'm still criminally liable.
Shareholders have to be careful when voting for something illegal. Stealing is a fairly obvious crime. Just because you have the ability to steal (consensus witnesses can hardfork the chain), doesn't make it right.
It's obvious to me, but shocking to see home many people just accept tyranny of the consensus as legitimate. The actions were illegitimate. If Steemit consinutes to donwhat they want, it serves no one else's interest amd gives all dpos, pos, even crypto a bad name.
