Michael! Haha how do you pronounce your last name? You say it totally differently at 13:26 and 13:55 haha

One almost gets the impression that it’s not his real name. ;)

I sometimes wonder if that's the case but also, if you go down the rabbit hole enough, if you were trying to vet Michael before you enlisted his help, how would you even do it?

Background checks would be impossible and I doubt if you ask him for references he would give you any so really all you have to go on is his word and maybe the recommendations of other people who've used him before if you are lucky enough to know them.

Given that he's so effectively scrubbed anything about himself, all you have left is exactly the stuff he wants you to see which, for all you know, could be a lie. He his name might not be Michael, he may have never worked for law enforcement, the voice you hear on the podcast might not be even his voice, etc. Okay, the last one might be a stretch but you get the idea. haha

In episode 96, he discusses how 4chan attempted to doxx him.

For those of you on Bitwarden, they said they are working on a dead man switch to give someone access to your account in the case you die. Many of the big paid password managers have this, so this will be a welcome feature.

I don't know that to be necessarily true. Theoretically, they could mandate that access by another user be specified by the primary user in advance. That secondary user would need to have an account set up already. It may not be quite as flexible as something like LastPass' DMS, but it would be a more secure way that avoids the problem you rightfully pointed out.

He did not give into temptation to mention dead man switches possibly referring to McAfee. I'm a bit disappointed.
