His Wikipedia is interesting https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Figgers

For example: “Figgers also has a license spectrum band from FCC”. The citations there are a student-run uni newspaper in Ghana, and the news site of a Florida State University radio station.

If the guy isn’t all he claims, he’s done an excellent job of layering together successive Wikipedia-credible sources and then using those as a springboard to more and more credible news stories, culminating in coverage in WashPo and the BBC.

I am pretty skeptical, but if I’m right to be, also pretty impressed by his press coverage game.
