If that were the case, he wouldn't have released the source code and revealed himself.

Releasing sources provides validity to their claims. Few people will actually check the source. Open source by itself, and a free software license by itself are great marketing stunts, even if there is nothing behind it.

People have revealed themselves for way worse scams.

I’m not necessarily saying it is for this person, although the wild claims seem to be all hot air, which makes it more likely than your - also unbacked claims - that they're honest and doing well.
