This whole CSW stuff has become quite annoying now, ever since his grand entrance all over mainstream media, and Gavin's subsequent removal from Core (which whipped up big blockers even more and contributed to the division -- if not for CSW, Gavin could have been removed quietly), he's been stirring up endless drama and being a thorn on the side of Bitcoin. For a while we got rid of him, and he fucked off into Bitcoin Cash, where he caused even more drama, hash wars, etc. It's not enough that now he has his own new SV coin, and a lot of brainwashed followers, he's going ever further with these endless legal disputes with various people.

This story isn't going to well. His own issues, combined with the people who are convinced he's Satoshi and put a lot of money into SV, and Calvin's willingness to just throw millions of dollars into this money pit of litigation, it's going to all come crashing down with many people bankrupted and ruined along the way. If he really does go after people contributing to open source Bitcoin projects, I think big money and well connected folks are going to step in and nudge the relevant government agencies to start investigating him, guys like jack, saylor, etc.

People don't get how big Bitcoin has become, there's huge financial institutions stepping in, lots of billionaires invested, and lots of quiet Bitcoiners in various branches of government, heck, I was surprised to see Anthony Scaramucci's firm start hosting the whitepaper. Even Fidelity essentially told him to fuck off and started hosting the whitepaper. He got a taste of the type of blowback he might get, but that's nothing compared to the war chest of money and influence that will come crashing down on him if he makes good on his legal threats. He really also has to keep in mind that it doesn't cost that much to 51% attack BSV, and if he keeps doing this shit, I can see SV's chain getting fucked with too.

Let's see if his law firm SCA ONTIER distance themselves from him, perhaps realizing they risk exposing their business to a lot of negative press here.
