I hope they do in fact take this position. I understand right now they're considering the legal aspects of their situation and what they can do (without being successfully sued). It's tricky, but in the end let's hope fairness prevails. Thanks for articulating all of this. To me the bottomline is that there has not been legitimate governance of STEEM since the sybil attack, when Sun had Binance and Huobi help him take over the chain using customer funds on the exchanges in combo with is own. True ownership of coins was decided back then, not in whatever Sun has his sock puppet witnesses say is the truth now. So returning funds to the "rightful owner" should be interpreted based on that timeline, not just the most recent person in control of the chain.
