Don't forget cryptojake, he is also the brain behind scam BTCPoop.
I think you are missing the two main characters besides Jake and those are
Tai Zen and
Leon Fu. Probably not their real names. All three are probably hanging out here with new Newbie names on a daily basis. If you noticed Coinbase also block Tai Zen's account whern he tried to cash out big chunk of fiat/BTC after the fork (look at his Twitter

Rhett is just the innocent front, they gave me a couple of thousand bucks to keep in happy. The "puppy".
This was a carefully crafted one, not like Bitconnect, those guys did it wrong.
So if the game was over 10 minutes after the fork completed and all ZCL was sold at $86+ on Bittrex, then why are they still here? Because the biggest piece of the game is still not played. The post fork disaster was just a small part of this deal.
The bigger part is the BIP9 where they take they start removing BTCP from unclaimed accounts and that is to the tune of $200M to $1B. But they cannot cash out without having this BTCP listed on large exchange to have liquidity. They wiped out all the liquidity and buy orders on Bittrex ZCL exchange, in collaboration with Bittrex that locked up the wallet for deposits and DDOS'd tradesatoshi so there was no competition in the mass sale of ZCL.
I did personally lose a good chuck of changes on this but boy I am stunned by the complexity of this "game" that was played. Even right now, now one is noticing the BIP9 that is clearly posted on their Whitepaper. They are going to take millions of BTCP from unclaimed BTC wallets like Satoshi's and dump them. I really hope this goes to less than 1 satoshi very quickly before they can finish the BIP9. 70 Developers. My A$$.
