I wonder if that's a lie for the public so that they don't have to reveal the method they actually used to get his password.

  Apparently the 'hacker' himself revealed he had an easy password, not the FBI. What does he gain by making himself look stupid? Have they released him from prison early?

    Maybe the FBI told him to say that in exchange for reduced charges or demonstrate cooperation.

      Isn't there a way for the FBI to document TTPs in cases and not have it go to public record? Why the smoke screen?

    Maybe he thought that analysts wouldn't go for the most obvious thing because he was a hacker.
