What does he do for a living? I can't find anything about it on the wikipedia page, his personal page and the blog page about his achievements - strange.

  I think he works for some big corporate. Which one I don't know. I remember reading about it in some HN thread.

    He works at Netgem a french start-up. It's not really a big corporate.

      I know (well at least internet sources told me) he worked for a government agency in France similar to NSA in USA. Probably still is, and netgem is his cover.

        Why would he need to cover up that he is working for a government agency? Considering that you apparently aren't fooled by that cover up, it can't be that much worth anyway.

          The idea is anytime someone is on to him, someone like you will counter-argue, giving him the perfect cover.

  Although my information is somewhat dated, he lives and works in Paris for http://www.netgem.com http://www.netgem.com - ffmpeg makes their boxes top-notch. It's worthy of note that his free software makes him plenty of money. It's also no surprise that he doesn't feel the need to write about himself.

    Seems that netgem has a history of GPL violations (http://roundup.libav.org/issue678 http://roundup.libav.org/issue678). Not sure what came out of that.

      Looks like negligence rather than willful violation (last mentioned in 2009)
