There's enough personally identifying information given for the lamb that, assuming it's not a smoke screen, he'd be easy to dox.

My instincts tell me this was a PR/recruitment piece (or a hoax) and the journalist fell right into it.

So what? Just because he doesn't want his name in the article doesn't mean he's scared to death about his name coming out.
