So Justin Tron said that he, nor steemit inc worked on the fork.
The people who did work on the fork had to make an account using an anon method.

Steemit didn't do it and HIVE didn't do it, then who wrote teh fork?
A third party.

So, some random guy wrote a fork and then Mr. Tron's servers... errr sock puppets all voted for it. (boy are they trusting) and then the sheep hit the rotating air moving device.
