But at no time did Tron acknowledge the specific claim that there was a lack of disclosure involving the transfer of the "dev fund" which was the bigger issue to the witnesses who froze the accounts. <hr /> <p dir="auto"><strong>c) <p dir="auto">Regarding the use of Tron founder stake to remove three super representatives (SR): <p dir="auto"> <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/DQmXMvEGLU46xn9thEAPUE7C4eCPog2ZRTGPzisj6RGnHxe/image.png" alt="image.png" /> <p dir="auto">I'm not convinces that Tron fully explained the security issue around this action. I suspect these SRs were routing (stealing) fees from malformed contracts. But I've never gotten any confirmation of this. The reason I think this is so is due to <a href="https://github.com/tronprotocol/tips/issues" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">certain TIPS (Tron Improvement Proposals) that coincided with the <a href="https://github.com/tronprotocol/java-tron/releases" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link"><code>java-tron releases blocked by these SRs (specifically, TIP-37 and TIP-54). Again, all speculation on my part.
