Tron Blockchain Founder Accused of Paying Users To Reach Topmost Position In Steem Pecking Order

Dan Hensley, a key stakeholder of Steem blockchain, has levied substantial allegations at Justin Sun, the founder and CEO of Tron blockchain. Sun bribed his way to the apex of the Steem pecking order with users, money, and power, as per Hensley’s writeup.

As per the previous crypto media reports, Steem was the subject of what many followers considered a hostile takeover by Justin Sun. Hensley’s latest claims shed new light on how Sun purportedly dragooned leading Steemians into doing his bidding.

Hensley described Tron Founder’s intent to sidestep established community voting rules. He mentioned:

“Justin was losing the voting war halfway through and started offering people $2,500 each month to run a witness node for him on Steem. I own a dApp called 3speak that was on Steem, he offered us money, power and users.”

It is to be noted that the “war” in the above statement is the voting process used to select twenty delegated witnesses to supervise the Steem blockchain. Till now, the cryptocurrency holders make their voices heard by staking funds with the witness that they feel best signifies their welfare, in Steem’s delegated POS model.
