I totally get it now, criminal mastermind Roger Ver owns the bitcoin.com domain and he wants to run his casino which of course is a money making machine that preys on people's gambling addiction. His casino is on the bitcoin.com domain https://games.bitcoin.com/videopoker
Of course he wants bigger blocks, because gambling generates so many transactions that the fees would skyrocket with a 1MB limit (remember SatoshiDice?). Legitimate Lightning Network hubs probably won't be too interested in gambling since it could be subject to regulatory obstacles.
So he is attacking Bitcoin to push for this block size increase so he can run his gambling business. This makes perfect sense because the money he stands to make from gambling revenues likely exceeds his bitcoin holdings over time.
Jihan is in on this deal since he's allied with Ver and he wants to make sure that he gets his cut of the transaction fees generated by all of the gambling transactions, which he wants to take place on-chain for obvious reasons.
