They call him "Bitcoin Jesus," cuz he was one of the first ones who began to avidly evangelize about bitcoin. That was back in the dawn of (crypto) history.

As for the "explosives" issue, I don't know a lot either, but I believe the story is that he may have been framed, simply because he was too vocal re his non-government leanings.

(Also, he was one of the guys behind the bitcoin fork in early August, the fork that created Bitcoin Cash. According to him, Satoshi's original ideal of a purely peer-to-peer currency is being compromised with recent developments in bitcoin, and he and a few other players forked to Bitcoin cash, which is intended to remain true to the ideal of being peer-to-peer.

One major point to consider in that regard is that Bitcoin already has 8 years of infrastructure built to suppor it. Bitcoin Cash has none.)
