It's entirely possible that it's true. That the throwaway account was to provide information the main account owner couldn't provide because it was confidential. Alternatively, it could be totally made up. It's impossible to know. I do know someone elsewhere on HN[1] claimed to (a) work at wasmer and (b) that the decision was based on personal reasons. On a very low rated post. But that's also unverified, and could just mean that they think the founder is an ass.
