It seems like their plan is already in place with Bcash rising in value !!! Although this could be a mere coincidence !
this has been the plan all along, i don't think all this article is true and i am doubtful about the "insider" thing too. but there has never been any doubt about bitcoin cash pumping the price because of bitcoin's upcoming SegWit2x thing.
it was even speculated multiple times by traders.
you know this is not a new thing to happen in this world either. just this year about 7-9 months ago the same so called "insiders" from Dash community said they have been behind the spam attack on bitcoin and as expected Dash and ETH and a couple of other altcoins were the ones that benefited from that spam attack and their pumping motto was "we will replace bitcoin because it is slow".
the same thing is happening today and will happen again the future.
