Is he the guy that made a big article about putting his life savings into bitcoin?

I didn't recognise the name, but yes he is! http://falkvinge.net/2011/05/29/why-im-putting-all-my-savings-into-bitcoin/

No evidence of whether this is a thing he actually DID though

Also, according to wikipedia, "He has no children and is not married but openly polyamorous,[42] which still precludes marriage for legal reasons as of April 2014."

Butterfly Labs only owe the FTC $38 million, will pay $19,000 in what seems like an entirely appropriate settlement

The queue for refunds is only 2000 people long too.
