Gregory Maxwell, co-founder and former CTO of the Bitcoin Core (BTC) institution Blockstream, has had a change of heart. For reasons yet unknown, the crypto expert has come to the realization that Bitcoin SV is the real Bitcoin, and has even offered to lend a hand. He penned an email to Dr. Craig Wright of nChain and Bitcoin BCH development, in which he mentioned that he was prepared to offer his discreet assistance. Better late than never, its good to see that Maxwell has finally come around. Here is his email, formatted to make reading easier.

It's not a fake news.
Greg Maxwell has just confirmed it to Trustnodes

lol what. Craig Wright and Roger Ver are both conmen. Coingeek is a conman shilling platform, and their claim that [I have] "come to the realization that Bitcoin SV is the real Bitcoin," is malicious whole cloth fabrication. Now, Is "Bitcoin SV" the real fake bitcoin (bch)? Maybe but who cares.
I think it's unfortunate that Wright's over the top mania is causing dissension in his bamboozled army, as having a scam run by an obvious scammer is a win-win... but it seems that there is nothing to be done for it now, the psychosis is just too strong now.(my emphasis)

Ok but now he says

I emailed him because Im concerned that scammers like Roger Ver finally figured out that faketoshi isnt convincing anyone anymore, Maxwell said.

And according to Trustnodes

We may have seen such assistance in action yesterday when Craig Wrights BMG Pool mined five 32MB blocks containing miner created zombie transactions.

Why they mined such blocks is not very clear, but Maxwells tactic may well be to use his code expertise as a political tool. What may well be Blockstream affiliated media accounts, for example, where quick yesterday to say the Bitcoin Unlimited nodes had crashed after the 32MB blocks were mined.

Yet code related problems with Bitcoin Unlimited are not news to anyone, hence why it took until BitcoinABC to fork off.

ABCs nodes kept up very well. Potentially so suggesting that Maxwell actually doesnt have much in his code arsenal, if of course he was involved in discreetly assisting Wrights pool with mining zombie transactions.

We do not know whether that is the case, but it is doubtful Wrights team would have had the technical expertise otherwise as clearly shown by BitcoinSVs codebase.

A codebase that probably has bugs which actually matter, in a client that actually matters.
