It could possibly be real, but I doubht he would have came on in that kind of approach, he would have just skipped making the story and the wait time and went strait to mass spamming the pictures, besides if it was extremly important data, then the FBI or any other goverment related investigation units would have done tracked him down and they wouldn't use just 2 people in the same van to find him. It's probally a hoax, but it still made me get chills and it would probally make a good novel.
