Tehran Bob? Never heard that. I thought it's "ComodoGate" or
"DigiNotarGate". ;)

Anyway, people also thought after the Comodo debacle that this guy was
just a pretender. Was it Moxie who also gave that impression at Black
Hat 2011? Whatever he is, he has surprised people. I would not rule out
more things to come.
