Either you've been fronting his identity (in all situations I've cared to identify, which are >10) for years, or you are lying. I won't detail my verification methods in public - I see no reason to fully break your cover, and I see no reason to give a detailed list of how to break the cover of other people. However, I *do* care to send the public message that if somebody is going to try to do identity protection, they need to do quite a bit of work to do it - doing a half-assed job won't work. I used to run a nym (stopped around 1990), and I was *careful* about it - and it still got broken to a point where only a few work-weeks would probably be able to connect the nym to me (at least I found points where it broke - I don't know if anybody else did, but I assume that if NSA got interested, they now know the connection of my nym to me - not that it matters.)
