Well his youtube account goes back four years so it doesn't look like an identity-based con.

There's a mix of personal videos and a whole bunch of low-rent promo clips he's had done for Razormind over that time, including my favourite, a night-time multiple city-scape shot of all the "Razormind Locations" which, funnily enough don't show anything other than city-scapes from around the world.

I've come across a mention of these supposed 27,000 'active users' in an interview he did over a year and a half ago for 'Melbourne Bitcoin Technology Center'. At the 28:30 mark he claims that people have been signing up to test and code on DeOS at a rate of a couple of hundred per hour "since the beginning" and then he makes the claim for a 'current' count of 27,000. This was in January 2015. So apparently they got those 27,000 users over a year and a half ago, all of whom remained utterly silent about DeOS and have never spoken of it or posted about it.
