Oh, that's cool. Is he still writing online somewhere else?

I suspect it had something to do with importing everything from the old custom CMS into WordPress, and everything that was imported was attributed to the account that was used to run the import. But again...that's just speculation. I too find it shady. If my suspicion was the case, they could have created accounts for each of the previous authors and imported them in batches using those accounts. It shows either a lack of experience in doing that kind of migration, a lack of skill, a general "don't care" attitude, or a combination of all of those.
