No, that’s not how it works. For a code to be changed on the chain it has to be released and 17 of the top 20 witnesses have to implement it. This change would be able to be seen as well, it’s not hidden. My point is no one is going to go and change the damn chain to make kawaiicrush account need to recharge RCs.
The account powered down, which dropped the RCs significantly and then they over extended their voting. It really is that simple.
Tell them to power back up and they will see instantly go back up if you need proof. Or just wait for it to recharge, just like everyone else does.
