Craig has pulled off "closed door" signings in front of non-technical people, and that was how he probably got in to Calvin's wallet to begin with. Calvin is not smart. Revent leaks from inside nChain have revealed that confidence of winning COPA was at an all time low and included emails between Calvin and Craig that go something like "You need to publicly sign or I will start withholding funding for your dumb litigation attempts".
Discussion
Either that, or Calvin has been pretending to be duped for a long time, in order to pin a bunch of his evil on Craig when the nChain train starts running out of steam.
It’s possible Calvin is afraid to stop because he will certainly lose everything he’s pumped in.
So maybe he continues funding in hopes Craig’s luck turns and he can recover all? Most?
I think it is likely they have been using BSV as a means to launder money using TAAL as a front. In the end, Calvin probably has a lot of dark money beyond his public billions, and in the end, what he has spent on Craig and BCH/BSV is relatively small. Especially for an idiot who spends his spare time chasing underage prostitutes in a corrupt jurisdiction that he buys off.
It would be a nice ending for BSV
It also means that when Craig loses COPA by default, he can just say "I wanted to prove it my way, and couldn't, so I blew the whole thing up on purpose."
It is as close to a guarantee as you can get that that will happen, if he runs out of Calvin's money.
This is a plausible prediction!!
An ending for BSV at this point looks more like a mass cult suicide.
