This is exactly what's going to happen. He's going to bribe other witnesses to run his version, which will result in him saying: "Well, those are community witnesses". Community witnesses my ass.

I don't have anything against triple.aaa and their project, but this will be hilarious to watch when actual problems arise on Steem and nobody of the "new community witnesses", will know what to do.

This is pretty much the equivalent of hiring a new software developer and making him Lead Developer or Senior Developer instantly.
