I don't know any math, but I did quickly check who this author is.
He's some guy with no credentials, graduated as an accountant. Clearly has a knack for math and is not terrible at it (mathoverflow), but otherwise has no social credit supporting his credibility (twitter, LinkedIn).
Doesn't mean he's necessarily wrong, maybe he got it. It's not impossible that he's some kind of contemporary Ramanujan, but yeah.. unlikely.

- kklisura 4y agoSomeone did a review of his previous work on Riemann hypothesis [1]. Not into this field, but apparently that blog is being run by someone credible [2]. I have found a link to [1] via this forum [3].

- Quant10 4y agoThis was a review of the author's earlier paper of 2018, in which they were actually claiming a proof of RH. On their arXiv page: https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.12546 https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.12546, the author states that "though all my previous proposed (dis)proofs were flawed, i think the flaws pointed me towards the right direction."
