Isn't he the guy who said that LTC mining was going to be ASIC proof, but had pre-built a GPU farm that allowed him to mine LTC much more efficiently than anyone else at the time?
He doesn't exactly sound like the most honest person to me.
I think he is probably okay, educated US.
He may not as sane as Satoshi, but way better than premine, instmine guys.
I trust his intention to create Litecoin, not a scam.
