What if there is somebody else that matches the made up details?

- oh_sigh 8y agoIf you have a beef with this person, and set it up so your statements seem like they are coming from them, then you are playing with fire. If the person is very adamant that they weren't the leaker, the next question might be "well, who could leak and have a motivation to make their details look like this person's?", which may point to you. If it is just a coincidence that the details of your fudging match a specific person, then they can still deny it. I don't know, but the point of all this is to protect a source, not to protect a random person who might be implicated by bad luck and punished illegally by bad actors.
