'operator' metadata tag (\'d4\'e5\'eb\'e8\'ea\'f1 \'dd\'e4\'ec\'f3\'ed\'e4\'ee\'e2\'e8\'f7) decodes to ФеликсЭдмундович (FeliksEdmundovich).

In RTF Word, 'operator' is assumed to be 'last saved by' ('revtim' half an hour later). source: https://books.google.com.au/books?id=6iM2xNZ6dAIC&pg=PA120&l...

What's the TL;DR? This is a huge timeline

scroll down to the conclusions at the bottom of the page

1) Guccifer2.0 appeared a few days after the DNC found out they had been compromised and Wikileaks announced upcoming DNC releases.

2) Nothing Guccifer2.0 personally released was either actually harmful to the DNC nor exciting.

3) Everything tying Guccifer2.0 to Russia was simple things anyone in the world could do.

4) Guccifer2.0 first document releases contain metadata showing they were modified minutes before by a tech guy who worked for democrat campaigns.

Article postulates that Guccifer2.0 was a front to discredit the real leaks that had happened and point attention to Russia.
