this is not a fork for there are no votes to fork for,it is a CLONE ,just take a snapshot and then creat the same amount of coins as Bitcoin and then distribute,guess what..........Sathoshi million coins .. missing coins due to some reasons ...... unclaimed coins ....etc....all of that will go direct to their pocket!
nope. they don't control the private keys. whatever coins are lost will remain lost. it might be a good indicator of how many active coins are out there.
