If it was "detailed", you wouldn't need to (put everything that you think in parentheses).

Let me re-paranthesize your quote:

* I'm not working on this * Anymore (he never worked on it) * It's been turned over to other people (this is a public project with dozens of people involved, publicly) * They are in charge of it now (yes, they (as in the publicly acknowledged open source project) are in charge of it now) * I no longer have any connection (i.e. he never had a connection).

> he is definitely implying what is true

What evidence do you have that any of his "implications" are worthy of truthfulness? (or that he's a "genius")?

What other "genius" level work has he produced? Or something even close to what would normally be considered "genius".

Even the obscure professor (Yitang Zhang) who came up with the first resolution of the twin prime conjecture was an "obscure" university professor.

I'm not saying that credentials are the only valid proof of capability. The Wright brothers had no degree. But they had decades of documentation of their efforts before they succeeded.
