Andreas Antonopoulos realized that BTC was hijacked, because he posted all about it in 2013: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=181168.msg1977971#msg1977971
Then someone sent him a huge "donation" of BTC.
That's when he stopped talking about the hijacking. He also stopped talking about the censorship. Very soon after that he became an advocate for whatever the hijackers were saying.
