Looks to me like it was a loophole that was exploited. There's no surprises there.
not exploitation if by design
what part in developing did @ben have?
he was one of the first and got one of the largest payouts and has an account called @imadev but no github
Exploited if by incompetence of design.
I have no clue who that is or if he had any role. He clearly knew enough to code up a script for this so this was someone who knew the chain, knew there was a loophole or was testing, and knew how to write a few lines of python. You can do an investigation into who fits that character profile better than I can.
ben = Ben johnson secret director of steemit inc

going by github steem users and early knowledge of underlying workings i would guess revflash
Not sure to be honest.
The account isn't Mined and I don't see any vesting withdrawal routes in/out.
It could be interest earnings, I hear that was pretty good at the start.
was there 1000's% interest at the beginning ?
if it were so like this where did real steem creation begin because Steemit Inc staff members all received with 1000s of SP @blocktrades with the most receiving a transfer to vesting of 10k SP and a 7 k STEEM transfer
