He doesn't confirm it anywhere, it's possible (and likely maybe?) that the admins noticed the account "moot" was inactive and gave it to him, they were the ones who co-ordinated this, so it makes sense they would give it to him.

If you were really going to do that, you almost certainly would clear the metadata for the username first (or like, attach the username to a different underlying "account").
