I'm willing to bet that some research will turn up he's either from, or has family in the Chechen region and ties to a muslim radical group.
Anyone want to take that bet?
That name sounds about as authentically Roosky as Jones is authentically British/American. A Google for Taraspov and Chechnya turned up NO hits. (A guy named Tarasov is an advisor to the [Russian] prime minister of Chechnya.)
Good thought ... ain’t takin’

I, myself, was wondering the same thing,,or if he had any ties to Boston.

Nope. The odds are long against that. He's from St. Petersburg, which is in the north of Russia proper, nowhere near Chechnya. Rooskies seem to have a natural aptitude for hacking, needing no input from Islam.
