Armstrong does not support the bankers, he is predicting the whole system is going to crash and burn eventually. I think he is right though that the governments of the world will not let a private group like bitcoin become the provider of the main currency. The governments and their owners the bankers will always prefer to be in charge of the money supply, perhaps the governments and bankers could take over bitcoin?
I haven't researched who is behind because it would be speculation anyway, I guess I always assumed it was cia or the like.
