In a recent post by the co-founder of Bittrex, it seems that he is unclear on how he should proceed with the STEEM debacle...
Bittrex put out a statement yesterday talking about how they planned to respond to the 23 million STEEM being sent to them, which put them squarely in the middle of all the drama.
Their response can be seen here:

Unfortunately the wording in their response wasn't entirely clear as to how exactly they wanted to proceed...
Initially, it sounded like they would be sending the STEEM directly back to the account from which it was sent, though the wording used left open for other possibilities as well, which I am sure was intentional.
This portion though at the end of their announcement made it further sound like sending it back to the account from which it was sent was their palan:
"…the consensus of the blockchain, regardless of how it was reached, agreed that the funds from those 64 accounts be moved to the “community321” account."
But wait, there's more...
Fast forward a few hours (about 15 hours to be precise) and it looks like the same guy that put out that statement from Bittrex put this post out on Twitter...

Which, if you have ever seen the movie he is referencing, you know that he is talking about the guy being extremely conflicted and confused with how he should make his next move...
It's a pretty funny clip btw:
This is actually pretty good news though...
For anyone that was thinking that Bittrex had already made up their mind with how they would proceed, think again.
It sounds like they are conflicted with what direction they should go, at the very least, and possibly undecided.
On the one hand they could send the funds back from where they came, or on the other hand they could try and figure out who owned what prior to the fork...
Either way, judging by their tweet earlier today it doesn't sound like they have made any hard and fast decisions just yet.
Which is probably a good thing.
Stay informed my friends.
