It's obvious to not give Justin Sun a hard fork that compromises the security of Steem to bail out his exchange buddies. This would include a 4 week powerdown which does not have a community consensus, and Justin doesn't count as community after attacking the network.

If Justin promised his exchange buddies that if they powered up their customer's funds to attack Steem he'd be able to get it back to them quickly, well that's just too bad. It's between him and those exchanges.

The exchanges powered up their customer's funds to attack Steem under current consensus rule of a 13-week power down and they can abide by those rules. Exchanges should begin power downs now to get liquidity for their customers ASAP. There should be plenty of liquid tokens available to them after just one week.

Edit: and I had some idea they had a lot of tokens liquid already but I checked again and all three of the exchanges that were used by Justin to attack Steem have plenty of liquidity.

Binance: 863,101 STEEM
Huobi: 2,042,430 plus 2,091,683 = 4,134,113 STEEM
Poloniex: 498,420 STEEM, not that anyone actually uses it

But

All of this begging witnesses to hurry up with a hard fork to accommodate exchanges that collaborated with Justin to attack Steem is likely misdirection.

The real goal is likely to enable a fast power down of the Steemit Inc. accounts.
