I can see both sides too. I can understand from their viewpoint the reasoning of why they went to these measures. I just don't agree with it at all.

I think there was no treat but besides that, I think the buy was legit and he owns the tokens and therefore can do what he wants with it.

I think the precedent that has been created that under certain circumstances accounts can be frozen is far more dangerous then blocking steem biggest investor from accessing his legitimate stake that he bought.
