It is. If they keep trusting Core devs to do what they promised, they're gonna lose a shitload of money. And that's why this is happening right now.
Wrong. The people who attended the HK meeting have done nothing that violates their "agreement" yet. It was well known that the people were acting as individuals and could in no way guarantee that the presented HF (not yet) would be merged into Core.
HaoBTC is signaling their displeasure, again, with the way the HK agreement is being unceremoniously turned to confetti.
HaoBTC and BTCC were the main pools to convince the others to attend, and reluctantly sign on to the HK agreement. Thus, they are the ones that look the most like fools for falling prey to this ruse.
Making agreements, shaking hands, smiling, having the agreement met with great fanfare from the press and the wider Bitcoin community... To toss the agreement into the garbage now, several months later, is about the biggest insult possible to eastern business sensibilities, where one's word and honorable dealings are very important.
This is turning out to be a poker game, with Core acting like they've got a royal flush, let's see if they get called.
