Thank you for the information Bryan, I wasn't aware the stake has been unfrozen. Can I ask; was it unfrozen because of his exchange power up, or because the witnesses acquiesced and gave him back the stake?

Hmm, okay, well clearly he needs to power down Poloniex and come to the table and talk.

As far as buying up Steem to power up, that's all good, because as you say; it's helping Steem swim against the down river trend at the moment.

Again, thanks for enlightening me as to exactly what's going on.
