Blocktrades secures victory against Justin Sun

maxwellmarcusart last year

Congratulations for getting your steem back. Never knew the cas has been in court all this while.
So Bittrix will finally disburse the remaining steem to Justin? What he never worked for? That's really bad.
Wish others could file a lawsuit as well...but it's gonna take a whole lot of processes.

Waiting to ask you anything, came to check in and found this.

Missed most of the action. Again :=/

I blame the government. Of course.

Lots of questions for you.

(One or two at least)

Keep up the good fight in between. 👍🏻

I read in an earlier docket entry that this was settled by mutually agreeable terms, and was worried that you all had to cut a painful deal to close this. If you were all able to get your Steem back,and the saving grace is that the shit coin hasn't dropped too much over the years, it surely is the silver lining. Congrats.

I just feel so sorry for the owner of the remaining 15m Steemit, and the price they have to pay to preserve anonymity

This is a great result and I hope it's another nail in Steemit's coffin. I also had my account censored over there for daring to criticise them, but did not lose my funds. Of course I sold it all long ago and that helped boost my Hive account. It's just crazy that $STEEM has not lost more value. The markets need to know how crap it is with no development going on there. They are still recruiting users who could do better over here.

I would have sold and been out, but when Hive Keychain was released it had a double broadcast bug to Hive and Steem when I cancelled my Hive power down after the fork which at that point I didn't have enough time to get out. The moment I saw the Ask Me Nothing with Ned & Justin, I knew Steem was fucked and I removed delegations and started to power down. I would have been out in time.

That week of ninja mining was always the sword of Damocles hanging over Steem, and I had a lurking suspicion about it ever since I learned the details. I am glad HIVE seems to have fixed that problem and fully decentralized with no corporate ties anywhere. I like how the chain effectively exists globally without anyone's permission now.

While it's unfortunate that not everyone was able to recover their stolen Steem like @freedom, this outcome still sends a strong message about the importance of protecting user rights and assets in a decentralized community.

It really is a core concept of cryptocurrency that Steem in your wallet is under your control. Once we break that trust all hell breaks loose and no one feels safe on the blockchain.

Glad you and a couple of others were able to get some coins back and at least dump them for something.

It is a shame the SEC would not view a lawsuit like this tying up your rightful ownership to those coins as a 3-year attempt at market manipulation. Even more so with that coin pumping on the news millions of the coin are expected to get dumped.

But suddenly another one hive member just reminded in his post how all has happened.
If to talk about me I remember how it all started -- first posts that something bad can happen with Steem. I remember that moments when Hive blockchain came to live. I mean that countdown, maintenance break, that transfer to new blockchain. And I'm glad that this story finished not so bad for you and some other people even after several years!
Hope funds which were returned go to a good cause!

Is that why steem is down currently and hive went up for a while? Interesting to see how this ended. Very happy you all got your steem back. Thank you for your service. I think I was banned from steemit but not at the rpc level like you and others. Crazy, staying neutral was most profitable for the little guys who couldn’t risk their stack by voting for the right witnesses. Voting “wrong” meant either losing all your steem or missing out on the hive fork.

Sometimes I think back to the old days, like what ever happened to people like @berniesanders and @haejin
