The person who distributes the Electron Cash binaries has decided to
remain anonymous, and uses the fake name "Jonald Fyookball" in order
to sign Electron Cash binaries. Thus, if these binaries contain code
that is designed to steal your bitcoins, the author of the theft will
be anonymous and walk away safely with your funds.
Jonald is a well known enemy of the realm and a royal shill of Shitmain Corp. He won't be able to stay anonymous for long if he commits more crimes against the bitcoin community.
None of this stuff is "crimes" unless they release a malicious version. Besides, I've found that jonald is not the lead developer.
Anyway, considering the warning that they have on their page:
We STRONGLY encourage you to test only with very small amounts until you are comfortable things are working as expected. Be especially carefully running both Electron Cash and Electrum at the same time. We are not associated with or endorsed by Electrum.
I've decided that it's fine. They've distinguished between them and Electrum. I'll lock the thread now.
