The name is not important. The fact, that they were not found is telling though. Was there no track record of any kind?

Edit: It seems there was, as in he was developing alone and the company didn't disclose his identity. Puzzling.

The implication is not that nobody could track him down, but instead that nobody in a position to do so did so.
