The way I reconcile the facts is @bitsko almost got it, I agree with BSV heavy hitters are destroying BSV with bad PR.@bitsko
Losing your coins by accident is a donation to everyone, not their theft. What he's doing is garnering forces in law to focus on the fuckery going on in crypto.
Assuming GAAP, Segwit allows for the potential to break the chain of signatures and reassigning ownership of the virtual asset while keeping the 1MB blockchain intact. I imagine you could get a court order to do this and companies trying to work in the existing legal framework, BitPay, PayPal, Kraken, etc will follow the blockchain of assets, not signatures so they can legally continue their business.
In BSV and BCH, those coins just get locked unless the thief cuts a deal with the owner. I don't see any other outcome as being positive.
In BCH the "rebels" may assist and allow the coins to go into a schnorr mixer (eg conjoin) assume they decide they are above the law.
That's just opening the Miners, BitPays, PayPals, Krakens, etc up to lawsuits for facilitating the laundering of stolen coins and could ultimately result in the coin being polluted and delisted. Knowing what a dick CSW can be I can imagine he has a lot of Bitcoin and is milking the cow, using profits from selling BTC to fund this suing endeavour and it leads me to believe he'll keep trying until his money runs out.
I'd love to be his lawyer, the incentives are awesome, keep losing and you keep getting paid, win and you're out of a job, practically for infinity as BTC keeps going up in price.
