So... he identified himself to the foundation to get on the arbcom. But surely he'd have know that that would lead back to the de-sysopped Dbiv/Fys accounts and their outted identity? Something doesn't add up.
You are asuming that the Foundation makes sure that everyone is identified. And then you are assuming that they run a few Google searches or Wikipedia searches to look for socks. Why, I ask, why do you assume that the Foundation is competent? If you assume that they are competent, then why do you assume that they want to act on obvious conflicts of interest? After all, their legal counsel, Mike Godwin, will tell them to stay away from it because Foundation involvement has Section 230 implications and might hurt their claim to immunity concerning anything that happens on Wikipedia.
There are so many holes in this cheesy operation that it wouldn't even fly in Switzerland!
