Throwaway account to remain anonymous because these aren't nice words.

I worked with Chris Roberts for a period of time. Making things up to scare companies into dumping cash on him is kind of his 'thing'. I never once actually saw him perform any real exploits or produce anything of value except scary/funny looking powerpoints and lots of trash talk. In this case he just stepped a little bit too far with his made up scenario & nothing ever came of it.

The whole thing seemed very weird, so none of what you said is surprising. Glad to have that background info.
