Are Scattered Spider and ShinyHunters one group or two? And who did France arrest?

It's been a wild weekend here trying to sort out the relationship between #ShinyHunters and #ScatteredSpider. And then, to really blow my mind, I heard from the leader of ShinyHunters (or someone claiming to be him) and no, he's not in prison in France.

If I was trolled, it's absolutely an amazingly good troll. But see what you think.
