Looks like you can check it now. The keys went public:

I speculate that these are only SHA256 hashes of keys or documents that will be released in the future. It's pre-commitment. I didn't try decrypting one of the files with a key yet, though. I'm busy with other things (like browsing HN, aaah).

The tweets are just hashes of the insurance files to confirm their validity, not the decryption keys (yet).

Those tweets came out 7 hours before the Internet link message.
