This reminds me a bit of the Satoshi Nakamoto Newsweek article - A journalist who wants to dig up a juicy story but gets nothing because the guy just wants some privacy. And then he writes an article about being empty handed, accompanied by any research that might have been done along the way. The guy was a juggler, who probably didn't make tons of money and who was injured & discouraged, or even just going through some regular life struggles (we all have them). He's doing something different for now and harassing him won't change a thing. I feel like he just wanted to be left alone.
