This story is truly bizarre. The author seems to think their Twitter account is really, really important, so important that it must be preserved for the authorities to investigate. Meanwhile, the obvious answer -- that the author's Twitter account got hacked and co-opted by some Russian disinformation operative -- is rejected out of hand, as we are assured that the author is just too secure to be hacked, because for instance he rejects Twitter's 2FA account protections. We're supposed to believe that sim-swap attacks targeting his specific profile (remember, we're assuming this Twitter account is really influential) is something to be expected with a greater frequency than a browser vulnerability leaking his Twitter credentials. This whole thing seems like it boils down to "twitter user hacked, delusions of grandeur slow recovery."
