Can anyone verify the truth?

Quoted pastebin for people not wanting to click on links:

'I want to sell my bitcoin.
This address: https://blockchain.info/address/1L2JsXHPMYuAa9ugvHGLwkdstCPUDemNCf

I will accept $4 million. This is about $1 million below current market price.
Anybody want to buy my 18700 Bitcoin, please contact: BM-2cXYRopUqBpzFb4PSg2bcsc8qCGX69NKrv

Selling will take place in Zurich, Switzerland in UBS bank.

Please contact if you want to buy.
No selling of lower volumes, only total.

regards,
Ali Shalib Nasrallah'

Address is the same as the bitstamp hack address https://blockchain.info/address/1L2JsXHPMYuAa9ugvHGLwkdstCPUDemNCf

Some others corroborate the story that their coins vanished to that address: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=914513.msg10052538#msg10052538

So who is this Ali Shalib Nasrallah? Real or pseudonym?

Discuss.

The anagram for Ali Shalib Nasrallah is Nails Arab Shillalah. Shillalah, as in the code name for Source Mage GNU/Linux 0.5.

Quote

National Security Agency (NSA) Suite A Cryptography is NSA cryptography which "contains classified algorithms that will not be released." "Suite A will be used for the protection of some categories of especially sensitive information (a small percentage of the overall national security-related information assurance market)."
Incomplete list of Suite A algorithms: MEDLEY, SHILLELAGH, BATON, SAVILLE, WALBURN, JOSEKI-1

sometimes, truth is stranger than fiction.

All things are possible. Is it a poorly disguised method of misdirection? Bad attempt at being clever?

Could it really be a true message with psuedonym?

People have been known to be stupid in ways that you wouldn't imagine while being clever.
