That reminds me of Julian Assange in the beginning of Wikileaks, making up a lot of fancy titles for imaginary personas in order to make WL seem a lot bigger than it really was.
I don't remember where I read it, and I didn't manage to find it after a couple of minutes of googling. It could be a fabrication but I have two memories about it that speaks against it:
1) I think it was in a interview with JA himself (could have been the DDB book though which does indeed make it less credible)
2) It was said in a jokingly and positive way, which suggests it's not disinformation spread by someone trying to get them.
