It seems like a complete scam. They probably cashed on the false expectations they raised. The Bitfinex Segwit2X token tripled in value after their announcement.

It seems like a lot of these forks are just going to open up spin off coins that will be practically worthless in the future. As with the past, the forks are basically opening up paths into these scam coins that people hype up to get values up before the fork so that they can quickly exchange the inflated value for some BTC. Don't pay attention to these forks too heavily, I doubt any worthy coin will come out from it.
