Got it thanks, it was so strange because the account was legit. How are they powering it down if they lost control? Was it the result of the DDOS?

I’m not privy to that info, however some believe it was from outside (DDoS), I however think it’s some discruntled ex steemians. There are quiet a few of them I have in mind.

The person who took over the account is powering down to take the money. There is no way for the original owner to do anything about it anymore at this point.
