Perhaps not surprisingly, the troll from this thread (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=560075 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=560075, showdead=yes may be needed) was a troll.

Weev's explanation is still the most likely candidate but it seems pretty likely Weev didn't actually do it himself; he just piggybacked on the outrage.
