I hope we find out eventually who did it, because there are some functions requiring keys I would like to still use, but I can't do that without knowing who is behind it. As it is, I'm wondering if I should use it all, even if I do find a decent way of compensating steemchiller for it.

To be fair, probably due to my ignorance, there were many functions there I wouldn't trust Steemchiller for either. The one common theme I've noticed online is many think familiarity means trustable. Not saying he would, but suppose he had a way of recording the keys as they were input, as I assume you imply with the current operator on Hive. If he was to hijack accounts, not sure what real path to being made whole would be. Doubt authorities would be very eager to investigate my meager holdings with a user name Steemchiller who is probably on another continent.

With Ned, I always figured he would be the type they would go after. Easy to locate as he is well known to the world from his various corporate filings and interactions via interviews and such. Hell, I never even used things like Steemconnect for the same reason. Not sure who they are, and with all the online catfishing anyone can pretend to be whoever they want. Just look at how the one guy stole 20,000 Steem from Haijen and got away with it.

I'd like to say that those personalities you describe won't make their way here to HIVE, but eventually, they most likely will.

I think they will come as well. I imagine as the weeks pass by and Justin continues to double down on his vision and narcissistic whims, as well as deciding to stop funding the milking he is allowing from others, they will come with their stories. But, the bell can't be unrung.
