Understood. This explains a lot.
So rolling back the chain to a much earlier state allows someone who still has access to these old wallets to spend them now in the new fork.
Completely negating any newer transactions that were done before.

Which probably explains why these so called "dormant" wallets has become active again.
I made a post about it recently on X.

The scary thing is, this unknown user seems to have access to multiple wallets.
Distributed some old coins to new addresses.
The LKY revivers seems to promote that it was the og dev "LuckyC" is in control of this wallets.
What do you think?

Also, I was experimenting with the og LKY client v1.0.1 and saw a bootstrap.dat file which was still downloadable.
Ran the clien with it, and it is syncing way past this so called "revival".
Currently at  block 537269, dated March 19, 2015.

Posted about it too to highlight the fact that the og chain is still downloadable and syncing.

LuckyC created LKY and left it shortly after pump-and-dump was finished, not caring about the fact that the first wallet had critical security issues: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=214614.msg2540519#msg2540519

Luckycoin security update was made by Titan (one who created this ANN thread):

Titan was in charge for several versions of wallets, for ACP (advanced check pointing system, preventing 51% attacks) which was implemented in November, 2013,
additionally for OpenSSL heartbleed fix in v1.001:

The latest stable version 1.001 was in use since 2014 and the wallet has been working flawlessly for many years:
