It was stupid because he was tweeting from a known twitter account. Presumably no one that is trying to vanish should be holding on to such accounts.

It was a fun read but nothing more than that. On the one hand he was intentionally playing a bit of cat and mouse for the drama of the contest. On the other hand, he didn't have to actually earn money or do anything that might require providing identification. So it was a pretty artificial set of conditions.
