The most obvious one is PamphletAnon, since he recorded himself on a livestream logged in and posting on the QAnon 8chan account. He also admitted on another livestream that he has access to modify QAnon posts. So he has outed himself as one of the people behind the scam, and he certainly profits off it, since he has a monetized youtube account based on “Q” and seems to have quit his day job to do this full time.
I see your thought process.
Don’t see how outing himself is a good strategy, since it would be admitting it was a scam...magic is gone instantly.
