In the audio provided by @ura-soul in his last post, @elipowell stated she told the Tron team the witnesses would lock up the stake, presumably because it was understood to be committed to not effecting governance, and earmarked for development.

Regarding your opinion of negotiation tactics at meetings you did not attend and haven't a clue regarding their conduct, perhaps it isn't useful to pejoratively speculate regarding them, particularly in view of the lack of confidence potential in the integrity of the supposed target of those tactics.

Regardless of what the seller relates regarding an asset under negotiation, caveat emptor certainly applies, particularly to an accredited investor like Justin Sun. Any failure to understand the asset he purchased is Sun's responsibility, and his use of that asset thereafter certainly only reflects on him.
