To steal the gist of my comment from when this was posted over at our former investigative headquarters:

This is the most thorough and cogent write-up of this situation that I've seen. This is sourced well enough and reasoned well enough to convince some outsiders that this is, if not real, at least a real possibility worth looking into further than the NYT suggests. People who want to help get this out: make a fake email address, copy and paste this entire post (including the linked sources), and start sending it to local media tip lines and reporters' email addresses.

Made sure to archive this post before the sub got shutdown.
