@lucylin, there is more to the story and I was skeptical at first. Think the way JF went about things may have contributed to that but I think an unbiased look at the evidence holistically (including tx memos, inconsistencies in their story etc) reveals a credible link to the yanik ring.

This ring siphoned off so much value from the reward pool employing false pretenses in the substance of the work (passing off recreated works as original creations without attribution).

I do believe @steemcleaners is justified in the action taken when all information has been considered. It's far too easy to manipulate rewards so we simply cannot let people get off easy when attempts are made to fool the community.
