I'm sorry but what would that have looked like ?
"Hello all you sockpuppets. Shall we kick sockpuppet?"
"Yes, please kick us all"
Also the sockmasters were getting lazier during the 2nd round and we needed them to be unaware so they wouldn't start to cover their tracks when redeeming.
This! Please, at least TRY to understand this.
The socks HAD TO think the stakeholder list was final, otherwise they would have been really careful with further steps.

So all discussions about another investigations were pointless. The community was taken for another ride as with the logo voting.
