This seems like a red herring. Sure, people often use the same online handlers for unrelated service (I do it too BTW); but people releasing leaks are bound to be a bit more careful.
If I was a business, interested on knowing who releases some critical internal information, I'd do it based on the leak itself. Who had access to that info? From that, an obvious consequence is to give each person slightly different bits of info, in things that don't matter for the project, like:
I'm not specially smart when it comes to those things, so odds are that those businesses - specially rogue corporations, like Nintendo - already thought about it. And the idea is such a low-hanging fruit that they likely use it.
Also, if this guy is a "legend" for bullying a curious kid into submission... sorry to be blunt but he's simply an arsehole.
