And what precisely are they going to do to him if they find out? I mean,maybe its not the smartest if this comes down to a court case, but the most important thing reputation wise is to not have this be the first result when someone googles the wife's name, and the semi-annonyminity accomplishes that.

Who are "they" in your question. I'm assuming you mean they===namedCorp. I am not thinking those lines at all. The "they" that I'm thinking of is anyone else that might possibly be interested, for the lulz or just practice/fun/games, to find out the info. The fact that a new anon account was created means the OP didn't want it tied to their real account for whatever reasoning they had, yet pretty much laid out a red carpet for someone to walk it back. Okay, maybe not a red carpet, but definitely a better trail than Hansel & Gretel left.
I meant "they" as in the public at large,not the corp.
And then what precisely? So some random internet person doxes them. This is hardly a news story. What would the negative consequences of that be?
i think the point is that his main HN account is anonymous, and by revealing this in a new account, the anonymity of the main account is not affected. the problem is not to find out who posted this story, but to connect it to everything else that he has written here.

What will they do? Help? :)
I'm sorry, but I just hope your emotional state isn't blocking logic here.
