Poor journalism from Micky, CfB already confirmed he owns millions of USĎ in IOTA via the JINN company he setup with David Sonstebo ... CfB is stills balls deep in IOTA, he just doesn't own them as a private individual anymore, he owns them via his holdings in JINN. The comparison with Charlie Lee is NOT valid.
Both are equal. I think. We will get a working IOTA fork... Just wait. Be patient. Check every project with DAG. BCNext (or CfB, or ...) loves to show (under a new newbie name), if something already (nearly) done.
Don't forget. She / he can be different from the "Avatar", was identified well through IOTA project.
