Seek = ask

Yes obviously. But you earlier stated that "Already happened basically!" in reference to a crypto bailout. So again, how is "seek" equivalent to "ask" here?

Parent comment i replied to - "... hope cryto speculators won’t ask to be bailed out... "

To which I replied that someone has in fact already asked for a bail-out.

Title of Article - "Record ICO Tezos Founders Seek Bail-Out From Foundation"

It's only a matter of time before someone in the cryprocurrency sphere asks for a bail-out for reason or another.

Gotcha, I thought you were saying that a bailout already happened. It's obvious to me now that you were saying someone has already asked for a bailout.
