I have to seriously doubt his judgment in choosing to call radio stations with this story, if it is, indeed, him. He could get sued for breaching the privacy clause that was most likely in his HI contract.
He may have just been sharing scuttlebutt in the HI office where it appears to be unlikely that he could actually have seen proof that BHO II didn't have a long form BC.
Proving the nonexistence of something is more problematic than proving something is there for starters.
Maybe there was a time limit on confidentiality?
