Did you send it to ionomy?! How on earth did you lose a couple thousand dollars! I lost quite a bit sending other tokens to the wrong place, I never figured out what I did wrong. It wasn't a couple thousand dollars though! ouch!

I don't know anything about steem being corrupted. I know the founders of Hive thought it was, but I never understood why, I just came along here because everyone I followed did as well. Herd mentality. Now I think this place has its share of corruption, especially in capricious use of downvotes. Somehow I have mostly avoided those.
