Rhett/BTCP made a forum statement just prior to or after the fork that all exchanges had been approached re listing BTCP.
Kucoin was reported to have been asked to list BTCP also but someone sent Kucoin an email about this and they replied that BTCP/Rhett only requested Kucoin to distribute BTCP coins to Zclassic holders which they did. No big exchanges want to touch BTCP b/c they are aware of the past history of the scammers running the show.
Rhett and cryptojake could have easily not pre announced they were forking Zclassic and went ahead and done everything and then announced fork after it was completed and ready to go...... therefore the situation of all those people that got burned buying Zcl at highly inflated prices would not have accurred....... but Rhett and cryptojake would have bought up shit loads of Zcl prior to their announcement of fork and then offloaded their coins up near the peak of their scam......
