Brendan is the CEO of Brave and fairly famous for a number of things, so I can't say I understand how you (as someone who is apparently savvy enough to understand how Brave works) don't know who what his relation to it is?

Exactly how do you know that user is the CEO of Brave? (Serious question, I don’t have an answer.)

He’s relatively famous and easy to google. That HN account is not a brand new account someone made to pretend to be him either.

How famous is not a problem. I don't watch carefully HN username while reading posts unless hints.
