Well, on one hand, they now have everything that they would need in order to catch this person, technically. On the other hand, clearly this is a complete joke. I mean, you don't become the most internationally wanted criminal for the last decade, by using your real name and trying to get caught. I bet, somewhere in the world, the person who took the picture is sitting at their computer and reading the article, saying the word "Bazinga"

Obviously a joke. It's in an internal staff magazine for goodness sake. :D

Exactly, an internal joke. The news, particularly the American news people should get over their own self importance and desire to consistently make a story where is not one. This was an internal staff magazine not meant for public consumption. Now you could argue that it has made it into the public and so what. If you don't understand the joke, go back to knock knock jokes or watch some Jay Lennow repeats (the news people, not you A-10).
As for oil giant once known as British Petroleum as far as I know they are still called British Petroleum :-?

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
