I am a bit out of the loop on Bitmain, but am I right in saying they are both A) still in deep financial trouble and had to lay off many of their staff recently, and B) still holding a significant amount of BCH?

Jihan Wu seemed happy to hold his Bitcoin Cash bags and not dump them on the market, but if the new CEO feels differently as ETFbitcoin suggests he might and decides to starting selling the bags, it could accelerate BCH's long, drawn out death.
