there is a deeper issue here, do you trust all the people this guy might tell? There are people out there that file patents about ideas they know others just filed patents on, with the hopes of scaring them into a settlement or whatnot. (even though the original inventor would likely win the patent, they wont know about a new filing for about a year... at that point the project is far enough along that a similar patent can cause real problems. problems people would gladly pay to make go away.)
