Lots of education to be had just by learning about how they caught this guy. Reused passwords, user names, etc.

Written version

tl:Dr "Mr.Deepfake" is a Toronto family man and pharmacist named David Do. He's since been let go from his job.

He was ID'd a dozen different ways but primarily by the actual contact address listed on the website, cross-referenced against other usernames, addresses and passwords found in breached data.

If he was trying to hide himself, he didn't try very hard. Probably regretting that now
