It reeks of bs.

My current head canon is that it IS him, but some very illegal government spying was used to find him. Claim an anonymous tip lead to him and then grab him. Then they conveniently find him in possession of an orgy of evidence a la Minority Report.

That sounds completely plausible. Three letter agencies have ridiculous amounts of intel. They for sure know which building and apartment I'm commenting from and I'm a foreigner on a pseudonymous website. Plus there's the however-many eyes agreement for when you need to get intel but can't spy on your own citizens.

Honestly I'm reminded of that time when Russians found that guy with 3 copies of The Sims when the security services were obviously told to find him with 3 sim cards so he'd look extra guilty

if this is the case they'll probably kill him before it goes to trial.

You mean he'll hang himself in his cell?

He'll likely commit "suicide" or something.
