It's unreadable people talk and talk..
In short.
Steemit inc is the developer of steem.
They have the keys and code to/of the chain.
Steemit inc is sold.. with their 25% pre-mined development fund.
All the developers are gone. Without development steem is dead.
The buyer want to cash out.
The buyer (owner of the development of steem) took over the whole chain. With sock puppetwitnesses.
The buyer took down the witnesses of his own chain.
Need to say more? Am I wrong?
Sums it out ! even from previous interview, he mentions his intention clearly. And with the current circumstances, it would be hard to reach a win win situation.
