From a drama perspective, I was hoping for a real Hollywood style twist, where there was a hardfork, the community splintered into two, half went with the community consensus witnesses, the other half went to tron-town.

Then, the consensus witnesses quietly gathered more and more "original" steem and came back and "attacked" the chain 6-12 months down the track. :P

I don't think that will happen. I listened to the recording of the townhall with Justin, Eli, Roy, and the other witnesses who attended, and there's a lot of ... legal stuff at stake for sure as far as Justin is considered, and I really wouldn't want to be Ned right now, lol.

Do we know anything further about Justin's stake being marked as non-voting at this stage?
