I agree with most of your evaluation, however the one problem you have is the interview with the Pakistani journalist on Nov 7 or thereabouts, with photo evidence. Could that have been a lie? Probably, but not likely.

I don't think that photo had a dated object in it such as a newpaper with a headline showing evidence of the actual photo date. If I were a photojournalist who wanted to become famous for a day, I would pull out an unpublished file photo of him and claim it was taken yesterday.

Photos are easily doctored anyway. I would like to see a video of him describing details of very recent events as proof of his existence.
