Hard to go after many of the top witnesses since most are not in the States. They could try to do something but in many of the countries they reside in, nobody cares about the SEC.
Yes we did prove resilient. And quite frankly, with all the HIVE that was doled out the last 9 months, it is only getting more difficult to stage such an outside attack. It was probably impossible on Steem outside of the path that Sun took. If not for Steemit Inc's stake, takeover was likely not possible.
Another year or two will help to push things even wider. Each passing month makes it more difficult.
